The only people in the private sector making lotz of dosh before and after the Fantasist’s November budget disaster are accountants and tax consultants. No one surprised.

Bin-fodder in due course
Jenrick for PM? That’s the bloke frequently labelled as a fraud by Mr. Farage; and also by Reform UK’s candidate to replace the Sadgeek in London; over his (Jenrick’s) miserable record as the immigration minister.
And as long as Jenrick is around, everyone in Reform is going to be watching a known back-stabber like the proverbial hawk. Not to mention having an eye out for everyone who chums up with the back-stabber who tried to do it to Sunak before Mrs. Badenuff.
Timeo Danaos
Was it an attempt to baffle Putinstan – appointing a bloke called Danae Dholakia as our chargĂ© d’affaires in Moscow? Leave the blighters wondering if they’d got the right bloke to moan at when they were intent on chucking out a Britisch diplomat for spying?
A Mainwaring Mob
Our cash-starved Army is being forced to recreate the Home Guard of World War II to make up the number of bodies in uniform needed in the face of aggression from Putinstan and Trumpstan. Veterans in their late 50s and early 60s will be called up to fill gaps in skilled jobs rather than put on the front line. There were 95,000 conscripts available at the last count.
Mr. No-Mates
Well, who’da thunk it? The Faragists are less than thrilled by the arrival in their ranks of the failed back-stabber R. Jenrick. And the bloke who was in line to be Reform UK’s chancellor shadow isn’t stepping aside voluntarity.
Wallet Emptier
There’s a company being set up in the US (where else?) To offer space tourists 5 days at an inflatable hotel on the Moon for £7.5 million. Which sounds like a good idea. Anyone who jumps too high in the reduced gravity will just bump off a rubber ceiling and make a soft landing on a rubber floor.
“America out!”
Will President trumPut’n make as big an impact at the international conference in Davros, home of the Daleks, as the Boy Beckham made?
A former footballer is a hard act for a bloke with nett zero athletic credentials to follow.
