The truly horrifying text
Reply to the New York Post. The headline supplied the horror; the reply supplied the subscription.
The horrifying text? “Your subscription to the New York Post has been renewed.” Understandable. Turn it round.
Billy appointed himself editor after reading three headlines and deciding supervision was urgently required.
He has no political allegiance, no relevant qualifications and a stamp he considers legally binding.
His duties include inspecting suspicious claims, interrupting important people and asking who approved this.
Corrections policy: If Billy gets something wrong, he’ll correct it. He’ll be unbearable about something else shortly afterwards.

A Change of Heart. And Bank Balance.
Can I monetise the reconciliation?
Harry, a book, a subscription and an imagined reconciliation pitch.

A supporting role for the Kremlin
Reply to Financial Times coverage of accounts amplifying violent videos from France.
🤣 Apparently, even the French can’t organise a riot without Russian assistance.
Buildings burning, cars torched, streets in chaos. And somehow, the Kremlin gets a supporting role.
At this rate, Putin will be blamed for the French Revolution.
Reply to The Sun’s latest royal-reconciliation front page.
Read your own comments section, The Sun. You’re so spectacularly out of touch with public opinion, it’s almost impressive. The public moved on from this royal soap opera years ago. Apparently, nobody thought to tell the newsroom.
Reply to a New York Post story about a father returning from a 28-year walk.
Nothing says “I’d like to rebuild our relationship” quite like announcing to 122,000 strangers that you abandoned your eight-year-old son to go for a 28-year walk. Perhaps try a phone call before the next press release, mate. 🤣

Five-Day Wonder
Don’t unpack. We’ve already signed it.
Our imagined welcome pack for revolving-door politics. The farewell card is ready before the desk is.
US bombers leave RAF Fairford. Apparently a farmer, a three-legged dog and the village WhatsApp group weren’t quite the reassurance the Pentagon was after.
Satirical scenes and invented dialogue. Artwork created with AI.
The approach
THREE QUESTIONS. EVERY TIME.
01
What’s the claim?
Start with what was actually said. Separate the statement from the spin.
02
Where’s the evidence?
Go to the source. Check the date, the detail, and what’s been left out.
03
Does it hold up?
Follow the facts. Say what’s established, what’s disputed, and what’s still unknown.
