8th July When the dust settles


So with 14 year old children waking up to experience a sensation that have never felt before ie Hope, what has been happening in the rest of the political landscape?

After winning the general election Sir Keir Starmer has to live with the knowledge that despite having a huge mandate he is still less popular than Jeremy Corbyn was back in 2019.

Sexual experts have discovered that many people are now able to experience multiple orgasms just imagining Tory cabinet ministers losing their jobs one by one.

North of the border SNP have managed to slash travel expenses after realising that they can now all travel in the one camper van.
