Panel of vampires leave their coffins to support no-deal Brexit

The ERG panel

The European Research Group (ERG) thought it had the numbers to overthrow Theresa May. Despite the fact she’s less popular than a hot dog made of actual dogs right now, it turned out it couldn’t. This forced several ERG members to appear in public.

They probably should have stayed in their coffins.

Sucks to be them

Headed by Jacob Rees-Mogg (a former Doctor Who villain and current MP), ERG members appeared before several journalists. During the briefing, they promised:

No-deal Brexit will be best for the cattle of Great Britain! It will also be good for livestock and fishing.

At this point, a journalist asked:

Who are you referring to when you say ‘cattle’? And forgive me if I’m mistaken, but are you all vampires?

Following some nervous looks between the pale, old men, ERG member Lord Dracula took the microphone and said:

Read on...

No.

He covered his mouth as he spoke, prompting several people to shout, “show us your teeth!” Lord Dracula refused, and accused the gathered “cattle” of being:

Project fear!

Dracula then transmogrified into a bat and bit the faces of several prominent journalists.

Stand up and be counted

Following the ERG conference, people are starting to question if a cabal of decrepit old vampires really does have the best interests of ordinary Britons at heart.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support

The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.

The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.

So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
