Accused of talking Britain down and focussing too much on economic doom and gloom, the Government have turned to comedy to lighten the messaging, starting with the Labour HQ ( Humour Quotient).
A Downing Street source told us, “Let’s bring back the Whitehall Farce. We need to step up the slapstick and ensure we make contact with every banana skin. After all we know the public love to see a pratfall.”
Realising that Sir Keir comes across as slightly robotic, the suggestion is he throws in a robot dance to accompany every speech, and Rachel Reeves is expected now to deliver her first Budget from the Comedy Store.
Another idea is for Angela Rayner to wear clown make-up for interviews, sing a quick chorus of ‘Baggy Trousers’, and stick a custard pie in the face of Laura Kuenssberg.
As our source put it, “If pensioners are going to freeze this winter they may as well die laughing.”
