			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gordon Brown&#8217;s troubled premiership last night suffered another blow with the news that a Chocolate Teapot was distancing itself from the Prime Minister &#8220;for the sake of its reputation&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sources close to the cacao-based container said it was &#8220;deeply concerned&#8221; about its standing within British politics if it continued to be associated with the Brown regime. </p>
<p>This shock defection follows a slew of similar movs by key figures, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>One Legged Man at an Arse-kicking Competition</li>
<li>Inflatable Dartboard</li>
<li>Spare Prick at a Wedding</li>
</ul>
<p>Friends of the PM moved to play down the split, saying: &#8220;I, uh, I mean the Primer Minister sees this as an opportunity to promote thrusting, new talent such as a Catflap in a Submarine and Fart in a Wind Tunnel.&#8221;</p>
<p>The row overshadowed an attempt by Mr Brown to defy his critics by organising a piss-up in a brewery &#8211; an event which featured a range of beverages supplied by the Temperance Society.</p>
<p>An earlier attempt to find his own arse with both hands and a map floundered due to a compass error.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Lord Foulkes has demonstrated how out of touch politicians are with public feeling by attacking BBC journalists for criticising MPs&#8217; expenses. Sure, there are newsreaders who get paid more than most of us think they should. But they are not clearly on the fiddle, unlike some of George&#8217;s former colleagues in the Lower House.
