Tommy: I'm making a sponge but with British ingredients.
N: The sugar's from Brazil, Tommy.
[Tommy glares at the packet, empties the sugar into a bowl, performativly walks outside and lobs it while Kier applauds his right to protest]
Alison: Next we've got leader of the opposition, not you Kemi [Kemi smiles but clearly dead inside] Nigel Farrage!
Nigel: Im going to be making a British classic, triffle, with cigarette cream, ale custard, fish jam, and German Stolen.
A: That doesn't sound very British
N: The fish and bullshit are
First up is the current leader of the Labour party, Kier Starmer.
Noel: So Kier, what are you making for your signature.
Kier: This week im baking my Dissatisfaction Souffle, no flavour, inoffensive, will collapse under pressure.
Noel: That's bold!
Kier: I hope not, don't want to be devisive.
Alison: This week its Soverignty week. That's right, the tastiest of political jargon whipped up into an ahistoric, afactual hot mess. But who can capitalise on over a decade of post brexit resentment and deliver on the goods? Let's see what our our contestants are up to for their signature!

How is this not an insightment to violence...
Since the UK far-right are so concerned that white people will become a minority, surely they'd be invested in protecting the ECHR so they don't get put in concentration camps, or whatever it is they're afraid of.

I got an integer overflow on Slay the Spire, and it totally broke combat until I overflowed it back to a positive number.
Cut out the middleperson. Just drink Absolute Vodka, they've probably got a cabbage flavour.

The fire brigade have early retirement is because the're unionised. Nothing to do with them being a public service...
They cost the UK less than 4 billion last year, ending early retirement is hardly going to save billions you plumb!
Do you don't know how much it costs, or what you be happy to pay for it?
