By jingo! How Labour should take on Tories

Parish clerk Weaver is a knockout

-

Millions this week watched a clip of a parish council Zoom meeting in which officer Jackie Weaver – called in to act as clerk – sat firm as councillor­s screamed “read the standing orders and understand them” and

“you have no authority”.

They did it with such hilarious rage – if they acted like that in EastEnders, the director would say: “Can you do it less angry please.”

TV channels must buy the rights to Handforth parish council meetings in Cheshire immediatel­y.

Each session should start with a boxing announcer calling: “In the red cornerrrrr, the undisputed, five-times-elected queen of mowing schedules for council-owned grass verges, from the parish she’ll never let perish, as outstandin­g as her orders are standing, the winning hand of Handforth, Jaaackieee Weaaaverrr.”

In general, you can tell who loves the country the most as they’re the ones who shout “I LOVE MY COUNTRY ” the most, even while they’re drinking cider in Trafalgar Square and being sick on Nelson’s Column.

People who love their country are the ones who scream “WHY AREN’T YOU WEARING A POPPY?” and won’t accept excuses such as “I’m in bed and it’s Christmas Day”.

Katie Hopkins wrote: “I called one of my children Poppy so I’ll remember. Will you?” And that’s a good point, which is why I’ve got two kids and called them Trench and Mustard Gas.

And businessme­n who fund the Conservati­ve people love the country, which is why they place billions of pounds into bank accounts in Panama. It’s not to avoid tax to fund the country they love, it’s to keep their money warm, because they can’t stand the thought of the Queen’s head getting chilly.

Now the Labour Party has decided to copy them. A Labour document has revealed the way for Labour to win voters back is to be more patriotic, and “Make more use of the Union Jack”. That should do it.

Keir Starmer can be filmed in a crowd of Millwall fans, waving a Union Jack, screaming: “I wouldn’t have Jurgen Klopp down here, not after the Germans bombed my granny.” Then we’ll hear: “That was a party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party.”

All candidates should travel by Spitfire and knock on doors with three lions on their chest. That doesn’t mean stitched on a shirt, but actual lions they’ve borrowed from Whipsnade Zoo strapped to their bare chest. That way their proposals for a tax system that boosts jobs can’t be seen as anti-British, especially if one of the lions mauls them as they’re handing out a leaflet.

Then Keir can announce: “To promote the country’s economy, it will be compulsory for every house to have at least one statue of Winston Churchill.

“And at schools, instead of English being full of effeminate subjects such as poetry, children will be taught to memorise the commentary of David Beckham’s winning free kick against Greece. And in French, the only phrase children will be taught is: “Nous avons tous les vaccins, ha ha ha.” *

So from now on, Labour and the Conservati­ves will fight to see who loves Britain the most by having the most Union

Jacks.

The Tories will ban all colours that aren’t red, white or blue, and Priti

Patel will explain this in a speech, saying:

“Yellow is basically foreign, it should stay where it belongs on Van

Gogh paintings, so if we see it we will deport it.”

And Labour will respond by moving its head office to the top of

Nelson’s

Column, because that should win back all the voters who deserted the party in Mansfield in

2019.
