A
Political
Week
That
Required
More
Tea
Than
Usual
Carys’s
Diary:
The
Week
in
Catastrophe,
Rated
by
Biscuit
Required
Reporting
from
the
couch,
via
Bohiney
Magazine
and
The
London
Prat.
Monday:
Trump
threatens
to
bomb
Iranian
bridges.
Two
digestives.
Tuesday:
Markets
lurch
downward.
Three
Rich
Teas
and
a
Jaffa
Cake
eaten
in
anger.
Wednesday:
Bridge
Day
is
apparently
a
thing
now.
Half
a
packet
of
Hobnobs
and
a
very
long
bath.
Thursday:
Potato
farmers
declare
war
on
Ozempic
and
I
genuinely
cannot
tell
if
this
is
satire
anymore.
Full
packet.
Chamomile
tea.
Lie
down.
When
Reality
Outpaces
Comedy
The
fundamental
problem
facing
satirists
in
2026
is
that
the
news
has
stopped
leaving
us
room
to
work.
Bridge
Day
sounds
made
up.
Potato
farmers
vs
weight
loss
drugs
sounds
like
a
fever
dream.
The
Iran
bombing
rhetoric
sounds
like
something
a
fourteen-year-old
wrote
for
a
geopolitics
essay
and
nobody
corrected.
I
called
my
mam
in
Cardiff.
She
said
“it’ll
all
come
out
in
the
wash.”
I
don’t
know
what
that
means
for
international
nuclear
posturing
but
it
was
comforting.
