Boris Johnson, who continues to be Prime Minister despite logic, sense and reason, has announced plans to abolish the traditional British government departments and replace them with four new Ministries.

The Ministry of Plenty will be the first to get up and running.

“We will need that after Brexit. Its chief concern will be to convince people that there definitely is enough food and medicines, and to remind people that if there are empty shelves in the local Waitrose, then that’s Waitrose’s fault, not Brexit’s, and certainly not mine.”

The Ministry of Truth will be concerned with getting the Government’s message out.

“Now, I know some wags have already dubbed it the Ministries of Lies, but I prefer to say ‘New British Truths’.

“Then there’s the Ministry of Love, my favourite of the Ministries.

“We are aware that some people are critics of both myself and Brexit. This ministry will convince those people that they are incorrect using…techniques.

The Ministry of Peace will be responsible for Northern Ireland.

“Yes, and jolly good luck to them,” laughed Johnson.

“We are aware that some people are critics of both myself and Brexit. This ministry will convince those people that they are incorrect using…techniques.

1. Apparently Steve Barclay MP just noticed something about Brexit

He's a Tory MP, and had a multi-part tweet on Wednesday:

The car industry’s ‘just in time’ supply chains rely on fluid cross-Channel trade routes. >1,100 trucks filled with car parts cross seamlessly from EU into UK each day. We need to start talks now on how we make sure this flow continues if we leave without a deal.

It's risible at this late date that the Brexit supporters have finally figured out that "no deal" screws the UK in so many and varied ways. "We need to start talks now"! Where the hell have you been for the last several years, nitwit? Britain flouncing off on its own is the equivalent of stepping out the door of the plane in mid-air. Maybe a parachute would be a good idea? Maybe thinking a parachute is a good idea would have been a good idea many months ago? Maybe a bit of discussion about such things before the referendum?

2. Yeah, we know about the Ministry of Truth. Just ask George Orwell.
