Dress Sense

While the plebs linger on picket lines and nurses luxuriate among their handouts from the food banks, spare a thought, if you will, for hard-working families such as that of Pigsticker Dave. The former prime minister's consort, the delightful Samantha, has a little sideline in the clothing trade which has just recorded losses to the value of over a thousand garden sheds. It remains as yet unclear whether the greater share of responsibilty for this deplorable decline in living standards belongs with the pandemic or with political prejudice among those leftist ideologues who might formerly have been in the market for a £300 corporate gladrag. Certainly no blame can be laid at the Conservatives' handling of the economy, since Samantha's alliance with the Prince of Puce has reaped dividends in the form of at least one seven-figure subsidy from a Party donor.
