The Tories are back! It’s official.

Sophie Corcoran, who defected from Conservatives to Reform, has defected back to the Tories!

What led to this historic U-turn, you ask?

‘One of Reform’s most senior figures publicly called me a moron,‘ explains Sophie.

Would the Nobel Peace Prize committee really give that psychotic pedo, Trump, the man who declared war on Americans, the Peace Prize?

Well, he’s second favourite with the bookies.

Pubs open day and night, stamp duty removed, a UK ICE army!

The population can get pissed whilst inflation soars and our fellow citizens are beaten up by Nazi Reform thugs.

I’m waving my English flag.

Funerals are kind. They present the fallen as heroes. They allow only the blind and wrong-headed to speak.

'I knew the deceased well', I want to say. 'He was far from the picture you're painting'.

Choking on my own bile, I accept the condolences of more generous souls than me and go home.

I see from Wikipedia he studied an English literature degree. But doesn’t seem to disagree with his heroine’s views of those. Of course Dan had his mummy to help his career.
