Update : three minutes after publishing, it was reported that the prime minister has adopted an African chimpanzee named Bojo. Boris does not know why this name is amusing journalists.
Update : five minutes after publishing, a violent altercation was heard within 10 Downing Street.
Update : six minutes after publishing, Boris was heard threatening the chimp with a gun.
Update : 7 minutes after publishing, the chimp now has the gun.
Update : 8 minutes after publishing, No. 10 has announced Bojo is now the Secretary of Agriculture and their first policy is to convert the Eden Project to a banana plantation. The editor would like to go to bed now.
