Writing is 10% inspiration, and 90% extensive research to find out whether Reading phone numbers had five or six digits in 1993 so that you definitely get that right while shifting and changing actual historical events at whim.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1670 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “TRUMP ATTACKS IRAN,” with a subheading “HOW OPERATION EPIC FURY UNFOLDED.” The cover features four photo panels set in the situation-room with US political figures seated around a table. Speech bubbles add dialogue: “Is the Supreme Leader dead?” followed by “No, Trump always looks like this!”; “Mission accomplished!” answered with “Yes, I’ve killed the Epstein story”; “What happens next?” with the reply “Popular revolt and regime change,” and a follow-up, “In America?”; and finally, “Why have you started this war?” answered with “So that I can stop it,” alongside “I’ll ring the Nobel Committee.”

Important question: is that the one that Paul from S Club 7 went to?

When you swipe right, but everyone's swiped left

Fun for younger readers: guess what everyone found out he'd been doing with the pension funds after he fell off his boat exactly a month after that writ?!

Believe me, we've kept the paperwork.

This is grossly unfair. Your father was a tabloid monster LONG before his death, from at least the Board of Trade report in 1971 onwards.

Why was Andrew Mountbatten Windsor named immediately after his arrest?

“There's that squirrel again.”
”I'm phoning it in.”

Spare a thought for the squad of journalists who are under orders to hang around outside Sandringham this February and report anything, ANYTHING.

The solicitor story, if you've not been following it in the pages of the Eye, is a jaw-dropping hum-dinger of a tale.

"... so we would urgently set up OffFuck".

It's on its way!
