Argh. I just made the same joke. Sorry. Great minds and that.

Keir Starmer says he's shocked - shocked - that Bitey, a dog with a long history of biting people, bit him on the arse.
That last paragraph...

WHERE IS MY JAM WINDOW
Obviously I've emailed to complain
They should all look like this...
They forgot to cut the hole out of my jammy dodger
