Bedtime Stories with a Boris Johnson Twist

A playful parent entertains their kids with nightly tales featuring various “fat useless” characters, such as a butterfly, slug, dragon, or worm. Each story humorously concludes with the character growing up to be Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is a well-known political figure often subject to satire and parody.

The joke lies in the exaggerated and repetitive portrayal of these characters, humorously linking their traits to Johnson. According to The Guardian, political satire is a longstanding tradition that uses humor to critique and entertain, making these bedtime stories a unique way for the parent to blend imagination with contemporary humor.
