YOU GOT TO CLAP HE’S GOT TO CLAP SHE’S GOT TO CLAP THEY’VE ALL GOT TO CLAP AT 8PM THEY CLAP : As Covid-19 hammers the UK, forcing MPs to work from home like plebs, many are wondering if there’s a subsidised bar in the living room?
And well they might. It’s important to keep life as normal as possible during a crisis, which is why nurses at Northwick Hospital have been using bin bags for PPE.

But it’s not just being careful not to politicise a crisis enflamed by politics that people have to watch against, there’s the all important question of how to keep MPs in milk and honey. The Parliamentary Standards Authority is on the case.
“We don’t want our elected representatives to be worried about keeping receipts of what they do with taxpayers money at a time like this,” an imaginary source inside the PSA told LCD Views, “which is why we’ve lobbed an additional £10K over the wall for anyone who wants it. Business as usual must go on. There’s a country to misgovern.”
But what about people who find the suggestion that support given by the Chancellor to businesses and the public in general will have to be repaid, but MPs can have a small lottery win, no questions asked?
“Would you spend a small lottery win on hookers and coke? And anyway, that’s incredibly ignorant of you. 10K is chicken feed. It’s hard enough living on an MP’s salary and expenses as it is.”
Um. What?
“Precisely. It’s important that life goes on as normal. Now run along to the BBC and find out how “fighting spirit” Boris is bearing up on a day when 1,000 of the herd succumbed to insufficient immunity, and it must be supposed, insufficient pep.”
