At the Autumn Budget, this government decided to approve new private finance in our NHS.
MPs need to have the facts: private finance is a danger to patients and a rip-off for taxpayers.

THIS is what Trump had to say about how drug pricing negotiations happened.
He is laughing at the UK and so many other countries who accepted huge price hikes. How utterly humiliating for Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting.

PERONI:
Hello there
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Hello Peroni

PERONI:
So nice to have someone new on the lineup!
And you are…?
3
CHRISTMAS BEER:
You know who I am, Peroni.
4
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I am Brown Christmas Liquid.
I come back each year.
5
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Every time with a new name, and a new horrible ingredient.
Last year I was Reindeer Stomper. This year I am... Cheeky Elf.
6
PERONI:
Oh god
You were on the bar for two months and…
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Three pints sold, aye.
7
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I’m a seasonal blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg and this year, for reasons of late-capitalist sadism, vanilla.
8
CHRISTMAS BEER:
My name is Cheeky Elf,
I taste of jam,
and I want to d*e.
9
PERONI:
Well somebody’s trying you
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Poor bastard

![[Scene is a JOB INTERVIEW. The bosses taking the interview are FATHER and MOTHER CHRISTMAS. In the chair across the desk from is the interviewee: RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER, sitting legs crossed. Rudolph is effusive and expressive with his hands / hooves.]
RUDOLPH:
...and in addition to my sleigh-pulling experience, l just genuinely love working with other reindeer. I mean I'm a real 'reindeer reindeer' you know? Haha!
FATHER CHRISTMAS [Looking delighted]:
Wonderful! Well, I think we've found our candidate...
So, uh...
Rudolph with your nose so bright...
...won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
[A chilly pause. We focus on Rudolph, who folds his arms, looks away in silent fury, his nose casting light about the room as he does so. He drags his eyes back to Father Christmas, his expression now of pure, cold contempt.]
RUDOLPH:
So this is about my nose.
FATHER CHRISTMAS:
One of my bulbs has gone.
RUDOLPH:
Go to Halfords!
FATHER CHRISTMAS:
It's closed till Tuesday.
RUDOLPH:
No, right, OK... I get it... this is like a narrative thing for you, isn't it?
[Rolling his eyes, gesticulating, getting more angry as he begins to rant]:
Like...powerful white male saves the shunned outsider by making a gimmick of their difference?
[We see Father and Mother Christmas looking awkward, a bit scared, askance at each other]
RUDOLPH:
So in your head, what, like, the other reindeer who've bullied me my whole life will suddenly start respecting Mr Fog Lamp up front?
[Rudolph is waving his hooves now]
I mean, I notice you haven't interviewed my AUNTY for this job. Rita the Red-Arsed Reindeer? She applied!
Her nose is even brighter than mine, but because the disease has spread to her ARSE she's not the right KIND of diversity mascot...
[Finally Rudolph stands up, knocking his chair backwards. Father Christmas looks shocked, Mother Christmas looks terrified.]
RUDOLPH:
This is BULLSHIT!
FATHER CHRISTMAS:
SECURITY...!
[A little Elf enters to tackle Rudolph]

The Art of Christmas Party Conversation - by ANGEL.
[Scene is a SILENT, STARRY HILLSIDE in Biblical times. Three shepherds are having a quiet chat as their sheep calmly chew the grass. This scene repeats unchanged apart from the gentle movements of the Shepherds chatting, for several panels. Then suddenly a MASSIVE, CHEESY, WHITE-TOOTHED ANGEL appears above them saying "HELLLOOOO"]
ANGEL:
HELLLOOOO
SHEPHERS:
ARGH
ANGEL [Talking 'to camera]:
Christmas is such a social time - here's some top tips for making sparkling conversation!
1.
Use body language to convey approachability.
[The giant angel, hovering in the air, cheerfully flaps his massive wings at the terrified shepherds]
FLAP FLAP FLAP
2.
Start with a gentle icebreaker to put people at ease
[The giant angel looms over the terrified shepherds bellowing]:
DO NOT BE AFRAAAAAID
3.
Avoid 'Angelsplaining': Always introduce topics of conversation by asking interested, open questions.
[The Angel shoves his massive, cheery face into the terrified Shepherds' personal space and bellows]:
SEEN ANY GOOD BABIES LATELY?
4.
If there's a lull in the conversation, try summoning the Company of the Heavenly Host.
[The bAngel summons thousands more angels, filling the sky with sublime, terrifying fire as they all sing]:
GLOOOOORY TO GOD
[The Heavenly Host all disappear. There is an awkward silent pause, the Shepherds now cowering on the floor, quietly weeping.]
ANGEL:
So do you like sheep?
SHEPHERDS:
*sob*
