A joke about being fired from a Job Centre was named the funniest at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe

I have seen better jokes come out of a Xmas cracker.

Leave with a deal
30% and falling the way it seems to be going.

Stay in the EU
??% how much via the back door hard to tell. It will probably will only come to light six months to a year.

The Dead prop up the Tories more than the living!

Bequests to Tories twice as large as income from members

The Conservatives received twice as much money last year from the wills of deceased supporters than it did from living members, new figures reveal.

Legacy payments totalled £1.69m while membership fees contributed £835,000, according to the party's 2017 accounts.

Among the bequests the party received was £582,358 from German-born Gerda Winder, who died aged 86 last year.
