Orange Juice? Keir Starmer is on the Kool-Aid | Stewart Lee

Instead of standing up to Trump, the PM is encouraging people who want to destroy our values to come and do it in our country at reduced tax rates

On 1 April, the TV comedian John Richardsons, who you will have seen on many panel shows, announced he was becoming a teacher, having already completed the training in secret. I was humbled by Richardsons's decision to do something genuinely worthwhile and by his foolhardy bravery. How would he control a class of teenagers pre-armed with clips of him clowning around with Russell Brand on The Great Celebrity Bake Off?

But it turned out Richardsons's story was merely an April fool prank. D'oh! The fact that the inspiring tale wasn't true left me deeply saddened, like the time I wept when my mum finally told me Father Christmas hadn't been eating the mince pies I'd made for him. I was 28 years old.
