![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction

Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic

Ministers, Spads, Researchers…

Nurse:
Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely
[Nurse on phone taking a call]
Ok - we’ll be right over

Nurse:
We just have a gentle chat
[Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster
Minister:
I understand your concerns…

Nurse:
Are you OK love?
Minister:
Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

Nurse:
That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian
[Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters]
Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love

Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to
[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

Minister:
YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR
[woman looks baffled]

woman:
I just want a bus service
Minister:
LOOK AT MY FLAG

KEIR STARMER [dressed in 70s suit as old tomorrow's world type presenter]:
Government, government, government. Why's it so *hard*, Rachel?

RACHEL REEVES:
Haha it is Keir, isn’t it? Well, maybe not for long…
4
REEVES:
In the future, a new invention called ‘AI’ might make it sort of not hard in a vague way possibly.
5
REEVES:
AI is named after its inventor, Alan Illintent - who’s joined us to demonstrate his machine

[We see a TECH BRO called Alan Illintent, next to a massive 1970s type computer with a big black screen and two buttons, red and green, for a keyboard. At the back of the machine is a big black cloth]
REEVES:
So Alan's going to climb under this cloth here
[Alan climbs under a black cloth at the back of the machine)

REEVES:
And then you simply speak your wish into the machine.

And now for Tomorrow's Government
Guess Bluesky has reached a critical mass now, as I've now blocked two obvious pornbot placeholder accounts in the last two days.
Well, it's been over a week and my feed is starting to build up nicely and I haven't had to remove any followers for being obvious bot placeholders, unlike that other place
