"We advise people to turn off their lights" Winston Churchill said. "I'm asking people to take personal responsibility for stopping the Luftwaffe"

He added that he might make the blackout mandatory in certain situations in future, but that it wasn't the right time to do it now.

Meanwhile, in an article in the Times, Iain Duncan Smith warned against making the blackout mandatory.

"Our parents didn't need a blackout in the Boer War" He said. "They just got on with things."

"We just need to learn to live with Hitler." He continued. "For the Economy."

The PM's request for people to maybe turn their lights off to make the Luftwaffe's job a bit harder went down badly on his backbenches.

"I know everyone in this house." Said Steve Baker. "None of them would help the Luftwaffe. My light stays on."

"Except Rees-Mogg." He admitted

Rees-Mogg denied that he would help the Luftwaffe.

"I find the notion ridiculous." He said, while fixing a large searchlight to his roof. "We need to learn to live with the presence of the Luftwaffe."

"I will not bow to woke pressure." He said, beaming a Union Jack into the sky

Elsewhere, Rishi denied that his "Torch out, help out" campaign was playing a part in the Luftwaffe's extensive redecoration of London.

"The scheme was vital support for our torch industry" He said, while scrawling his signature on some clip art. "Besides, hindsight is 20/20."

Outside of the Blitz, supply issues caused by Britain's separation from the continent continue.

"All countries are experiencing rationing due to U-Boats in the Atlantic." Said Kwasi Kwarteng.

"Don't panic. The German car industry will do something about Hitler eventually."

Speaking from Berlin on his regular GB News talkshow, Nigel Farrage also warned people not to buy into "woke Blitz nonsense."

"Don't listen to the elites." He yah wolled while chugging looted champagne. "They WANT you to turn your lights off so they can cancel you."

Elsewhere, Dominic Raab confirmed that the government would push forward with its plans to allow ministers to overrule legal judgements.

Asked if this wasn't exactly what Hitler was up to in Germany, the former foreign secretary replied:

"Who? Sorry. I've been on holiday."

Finally a YouGov poll shows that a late 1941 election would se the PM net about 45% of the vote.

"I think that shows the general public think we're doing a great job." The PM commented.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to fuck off to America before the Wehrmacht show up."

"'es a right card" Laughs Barry, a gig economy worker from Hackney. "Love the PM on the radio. He stands up to the woke switch-clickers who want us to turn lights off."

"There's no evidence that works." He said. "My neighbour got bombed when his lights were off and mine were on"

Like this? Want do something nice rather than weeping uncontrollably? Then...
