Byrne after reading.
Liam Byrne has spoken of his remorse at the ‘sorry, there’s no money left’ note, which he left behind for Chancellor George Osborne.
In hindsight, Byrne admitted it was a crass thing to do, and vowed that in future, he would just leave clingfilm on the toilet.
“It wasn’t a very good joke, but no-one mentions the cress seeds I left in his carpet”, said Byrne. “That was a much better wheeze.”
“Or the 58 subscriptions to Readers Digest, or the 3 aircraft carriers with no aircraft to go on them”, he rued. “Classic.”
Byrne pointed out that it’s been 5 long years since the Tories arrived, and they still haven’t spotted their best joke. “We gave that one the codename ‘HS2’.”
Meanwhile, George Osborne arrived at work yesterday to find a note left by the previous chancellor. It read simply ‘Sorry, there’s no compassion left’.
“That is hilarious”, said Osborne. “I wonder who wrote that? Although…the handwriting does look a bit familiar.”
