Don’t mention the Taliban: I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it

Reform leaders are breathing normally again after Richard Tice’s recent intervieworial train crash revealed that the party plans to send millions of pounds to fund the Taliban in exchange for them taking some slightly brown people off our hands.

'Brown is brown', a spokesman might have said. 'Every little helps. We’ll never get back to one of the really good Dulux shades, but every tone lighter is worth a good hundred million'.

The obvious problem with sending millions to the Taliban is that it’s likely to be spent on terrorist training camps, which some observers have suggested might be a Bad Thing. Reform’s solution? Operation Don’t Mention The Taliban – a smorgasbord of nonsense policies to deflect attention from plans to directly fund terrorists from UK taxes. Possibly the silliest such policy is redefining the word 'indefinite' to mean 'until I say so', which has proven popular among lamppost & casual racism afficionados.

The other benefit of Operation Don’t Mention The Taliban is that it deflects attention from Nigel’s £900k house, which was apparently bought – quite normally - with cash his girlfriend saved up from waitressing tips.

UK recognises Palestine is now very flat

About 100 years too late, the UK has said it will recognise the State of Palestine, now that it is pretty much destroyed. Palestinians agreed that it was nice to be recognised, but it would have been nicer to be recognised while they were still alive.

The formal process involves handing over a treaty, unfortunately the UK can find lots of Palestian hands, but no actual arms connected to them. An aide of Sir Keir explained: 'This isn't the sort of thing you want to rush. It's much easier to give sufficient land to the Palestinians if the population is zero.' Said one diplomat. 'What's the State of Palestine? I'd say it was in a pretty bad state.'

Jeremy Corbyn splits in half

Firebrand left-winger Jeremy Corbyn, having run out of other people to split from, has now split himself in half.

Having split from Zarah Sultana, co-leader of the People’s Front of Islington, a party they both formed when they split from Labour, Corbyn said he noticed a strange tremor passing through his body. Once it had passed, he saw that he was now two people, who were of course bitterly opposed to each other.

In a scene many have described as reminiscent of Gollum in Lord of the Rings, he then proceeded to argue with himself.

“It’s alright, I’ll found a new party with my friends.'

'You don’t have any friends! Except Hamas, of course.'

'Maybe I’ll go and dig the allotment and think things over.'

'Oh that’s right, just walk away from the mess you’ve made, as usual…'

He then mumbled something about needing to get back “the precious', by which he is thought to mean the means of production, distribution and exchange.

His alter-ego then taunted him he’d even split from Diane Abbott, to which he replied that he was never going to regret that.

He finally made a public statement admitting that rather than 'Your Party' it had turned out to be just his party, since he’s the only remaining member.
