Is that right!? Mental. I never knew that. Why are they entitled to that- go and get a job and wait for their pension like all the rest of us!

another cracker:
Keir Starmer’s office triumphantly briefed that more than 100 MPs had signed a letter begging him to stay on as Prime Minister.
A spontaneous outpouring of loyalty apparently. Britain was supposed to picture Labour MPs queuing down Whitehall in tears, clutching biros and whispering “please don’t leave us Keir”.
Tiny problem. The letter turned out to be about as authentic as a three-pound Rolex from a Marbella beach stall.
Several MPs listed reportedly hadn’t even agreed to sign it. Others were allegedly “supportive” in the same sense hostages are supportive during negotiations.
Westminster now resembles a sixth-form student council election where somebody’s forged signatures on the nomination sheet and hoped nobody would notice.
Which is rather fitting for Starmerism in general. The entire project increasingly feels like it was assembled by corporate HR managers in a panic after the actual politicians failed a background check.
Every week it’s another sermon about “protecting democracy” from a government that seems to regard free speech as something that should only exist when approved by a compliance department and moderated by Ofcom.
This is the same Prime Minister who talks endlessly about openness and tolerance while presiding over visa bans and speaker exclusions for people whose opinions offend the fashionable graduate seminar consensus in Westminster.
Britain used to export debate. Under Starmer, it increasingly resembles an airport security queue run by social media moderators. And that’s the real issue beneath the comedy.
The public can tolerate unpopular leaders. Britain has survived plenty of those. What people cannot stand is the creeping sense that everything is manufactured.
The endorsements. The slogans. The staged “resets”. The carefully focus-grouped sincerity. Even the support letters now apparently arrive with the structural integrity of a counterfeit nightclub ID.
Starmer doesn’t look like a strong leader defending democracy. He looks like the regional manager of a collapsing utilities company desperately circulating a staff petition insisting morale has never been higher while half the office is updating LinkedIn profiles under the desk.
