John Healey 'considering resignation' over John Healey's budget
Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey has enraged Secretary of Defence John Healey by refusing to raise defence spending to 3% of GDP. Healey's offices clarified - again - that Dennis Healey died in 2015, before issuing parallel statements: 'I cannot support my own policy that I completely support. Therefore I must resign in an attempt to force my own resignation thus supporting whatever it was. If that doesn't work, I'll try the opposite. Sorry, what was the question?' 'Lo

Sheep 'lost for words' trying to explain the behaviour of people queuing to reach Snowdon peak
Welsh sheep grazing at the foot of Glyder Fawr say they are ‘lost for words’ trying to explain why people are forming long queues to reach the top of Wales highest mountain. Jason, a veteran Badger Face from Llwyn-yr-eos says he has been grazing the same mountain slope for seven years but has never seen so many people following each other up the steep mountain pass. ‘They all want to touch the metal plate at the peak’s highest point’ bleated Jason ‘It beggars belief, if only

'Energy price cap' is this season’s must have
As invisible as the rest of the Emperor’s new clothes, the 'energy price cap' is set to enter the dictionary alongside other more established phrases that mean useless. Like ‘levelling up’ or ‘Liz Truss’. A Conservative spokesman made it rain in the club before shouting ‘Listen to me, peasants! Wear your energy price caps at a jaunty angle and let the good times roll, baby! Or alternatively, pair your energy price cap with some concrete boots and get drowned by debt! This Con

Small child found safe and well in Tesla vehicle.
Following discussions about Tesla's user friendliness, and demands for that sleek look, a tragedy has been averted as a small child has been discovered in the wheel arch of a family's brand new car. The parents tried to explain the mishap. 'It all started with the door handles,' explained dad. 'We were going for a drive, but no door handles were to be seen.

Canada to rename Gordie Howe bridge
Canada has, with a heavy heart, announced plans to rename the recently opened Gordie Howe bridge that links Canada to the US. 'It's not big, and it's not clever,' said Premier Mark Carney. 'I feel that we are being dragged down to Trump's level. But we have agreed to match tariffs dollar for dollar, so we can't let the big orange man-baby rename Lake Ontario without a response. 'From Monday, the Gordie Howe bridge will be officially renamed the Donald Trump Is An Economically

Suella to sing in new leadership pitch
NewsBiscuit has discovered a set of lyrics in an e-mail trail, after being sent an email from the Home Secretary’s official account (followed by a further message an hour later from her personal email account saying “D’oh, please ignore the previous message”). It is believed that the lyrics (based on a 1974 Hues Corporation hit) are intended to be sung by Ms Braverman at the next Tory Party Conference in October. As this may be the final Tory Conference before the next Genera

This cessation of hostilities is proof that all those who thought Donald Trump's renaming of stuff was just performative willy-waving without any substance were mistaken. Acknowledging the power of Trump signing an unconstitutional executive order a
