This week David Davis did his best colouring in, and there are rumours that leadership plots are already brewing. Philip Hammond doesn't want to talk about his freeze on benefits, and George Osborne now wants other people to feed the children he helped to make hungry. Theresa May thinks we should all be happy. Not everyone is happy.
David Davis (Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union)
faces being the first MP since 1880 to be in contempt of the parliament. It's
currently unknown whether this is because he lied about the existence of 58
reports on Brexit that were in 'excruciating detail', his continued
refusal to pass over any documents that actually did exist to parliament, or
whether the single 850-page paper copy that he did eventually hand over this
week was discovered to be a copy of the Beano covered in marker pen.
Jeremy Hunt (Secretary of State for Health) is facing legal
action for trying to privatise the NHS. Despite this minor setback, there are rumours
that he is plotting a bid for the Conservative leadership.
The government are freezing benefits for the coming year even though the UN previously described their welfare reforms as 'grave and systematic abuse'. It's unlikely that the impact of this policy will be discussed in parliament, as the Chancellor has made the unusual move to block any amendments to his budget released last week. Philip Hammond described his bold decision as 'a practical modernisation', leaving some slightly confused by the modern definition of a 'democracy'.

George Osborne (ex Chancellor - the original architect of
Austerity, and now revengeful editor of the Evening Standard) has
enthusiastically announced a christmas appeal to 'feed London's hungry
children'. The public are simultaneously appealing for answers into who is
directly responsible for the hungry children of London. Answers to be sent to
the Evening Standard (FAO George Osborne).
Fortunately for the government, a well-timed royal engagement
will distract much of the public, and continuous updates on the wedding by the mainstream media will
provide ample opportunity for the government to bury bad news over the next six
months. When asked whether the UK will get a bank holiday to celebrate the big day, Theresa May replied that 'seeing two young people in love will be more
than enough to cheer people up'. Some people maybe...
