Welcome to the pilot of a new post series, Saturday Night Live. Ever since Mock the Week returned to our screens, I've been dipping my feet in the pool of political satire; however, I wasn't planning to post on here, as I worried that it didn't fit.
Long story short, I've decided to take the dive and see how it goes down! Disclaimer: this isn't a real reflection of my political views, so please read with a pinch of salt, pepper and caviar... if you're feeling really Westminster.
Ft. Brangelixt, Lord Blairdemort and bendy-banana cakes, the world is my satirical oyster...

“We need a new strategy,” Bill Clinton announces. “We need
something that people like and something that people trust.” He pauses in
contemplation; he hasn’t been this lost for words since Hilliary found Monica's bra in the Oval. That was one lacy secret Victoria couldn't keep…
“So we need people to trust Hlliary?” asks Campaign manager Stephanie. “That might be tricky,
given the email…”
“…Well they seem to trust Trump”, interrupts Clinton, “and apparently
trust is a big deal to some people…”
On this note, he recalls with bitterness the ‘trust management’ course he and Hillary
attended in 1998, following the Lewinsky Scandal. The Public lapped it
up at the time, but one round of Kar-Monic debt was enough.
“Your daughter and
granddaughter.” Stephanie exasperates.
“You know, public evidence that Hilliary is actually Human?”
“Trump has been ferrying out his wife and grandkids," Stephanie revealed, “So we could follow suit?” Given your MILF – Monica ‘Intern’ Lewinsky Fail – I’m not sure we can wheel you out. We could see if Chelsea and Charlotte is available?”
“Chelsea? Charlotte?” Bill’s forehead furrows.
“Oh yeah,” the ex-President recalls. “I forget it myself
sometimes.”

Back in the UK, Tiny Tim prepares to speak at the Lib Dem
Conference. He had been worried that the venue is too big, but turnout exceeds all expectations; with 2 guests more than the number of seats, the
#LibDemFightBack has never looked stronger.
“…Don’t you mean the LEFT way, Tiny Tim?” one member asks.
“Yes, we’re all those things too.” Tiny Tim splutters. “We
are the party of inclusion; the party that will stop Brexit. The party that will tell our European friends, ‘God bless us,
everyone!"

The 13th page of The Daily Mail reports on “CLEXIT”. It’s the most coverage the LibDems have had
since the election; sadly, in other news, no one cares. There’s bigger fish to fry.
“Brangelexit means Brangelexit.” Ms May barks. “I’ve made my
views on this topic quite clear!”
“Well, maybe he not think Russia so bad after all.”
Boris Johnson is also asked to comment, but he's otherwise engaged with Donald Trump. They've bonded over the revelation that they share the same hair stylist.

Hilliary has summoned her team.
Bill and Stephanie pitch their “Humans of Hilliary” idea, expecting a firm rebuttal. They are shocked with the response.
“I LOVE it!” Hilliary proclaims. “Humans of Hilliary, so it’s still all about Hilliary!”
"So we’ll show her shopping at Bloomingdales, where the ordinary people shop. Talking to other humans, like ordinary people do. As well as juggling the demands of a working Mother… We've asked to keep the 6 nannies off-camera.”
“I LOVE it!” Hilliary proclaims. “What should we call it?”
“How about Made in Chelsea?” Suggests Bill.
“HELLO!” screeched Hilliary, “are we forgetting it’s all about ME? I vote for Made in Hilliary, after me. VOTE HILLIARY!”
At least she can count on one.

It's one day until the Labour leadership results and it's not looking good for Owen Smith. Corbyn has officially become the most searched for Jeremy on
Google, beating superstars Clarkson and Kyle to the top spot.
Controversial Mr Swede made headlines this summer, following his appearance on Channel 5 documentary “Owen Smith and Friends”. Despite being introduced as a "longtime comrade" of the Labour hopeful, Swede condemned the EU's discrimination of bendy bananas and Smith's own bendy policies.
"He couldn't give a straight answer if his soggy bottom depended on it," Swede ranted. "His policies are as inedible as a straight-banana cake". The greengrocer is rumoured to be replacing Paul Hollywood on Bake Off.
Smith was, understandably, disappointed by Swede's comments and wider reactions to Owen Smith and Friends. The Daily Fail declared "a Welsh Chris Evans,", while the The Hard Times nicknamed the show "Flop Gear".
Nevertheless, Smith is undeterred. He's in talks with Love Me! Productions to film a second series, which would cost broadcasters a whopping £7. In the last hour, the BBC confirmed that they cannot afford this. Channel 4 subsequently confirmed that they don't give a Smith.

"But I had JK Rowling supporting me!" Smith sobs to his wife. "How could I lose?"
"The trouble is Owen," she reasons, "JK Rowling isn't actually magic, "what's more, you probably lost it as soon as you mentioned Tony Blair He Who Must Not Be Named."
To try and console himself, Smith phones the one politician whose downfall was was more tragic than his. To his shock, it goes straight to Voicemail.
“Hello, this is glitterBalls! Please call back on my new number, the Strictly voting line.”
“He’ll be hosting bloody Bake-off next,” Smith grumbles.
On that note, he goes to check on his straight-banana cake, a star bake that could be following his political hopes to the dustbin. God knows what a bendy banana cake would taste like, but that’s one risk Smith wouldn't be taking.
Some unions aren’t meant to be. g
