Welcome to The FY Times

We are your antidote to the stale, predictable, and often disingenuous news cycle. While other outlets are busy churning out 800-word puff pieces on “corporate resilience” as your energy bills soar, we’re in the trenches, calling a spade a spade, a grifter a grifter, and a crisis-redefining press release exactly what it is: weapons-grade nonsense. Our mission is to deliver sharp, satirical commentary that cuts through the noise. We don’t just report the news; we dissect it, roast it, and serve it back to you with a side of unapologetic truth. Scroll down for fresh satire, community wins that actually matter, and the occasional, much-needed public shaming.

We don’t do “both-sides” here. One side is usually lying through its expensively-capped teeth while the other side is holding the receipts. Our job is to hand you the receipts, set them on fire, and roast whatever’s left.

Expect zero reverence for people who think “public service” is a clever way to spell “personal enrichment”. If your MP is suddenly very into crypto regulation the same week his cousin launches a coin, we’re already writing the obituary for his career.

The BBC will give you 900 words on “resilience”. Sky will interview the resilience. We’ll just tell you the resilience is being paid for by a consultancy that donated to the minister last month. Same story, shorter path to the punchline.

Today’s Certified Grift Watchlist™

Somewhere right now a politician is rebranding a tax rise as a “community wealth-building levy”.
Somewhere else a think-tank that gets 40% of its funding from a tobacco firm just released a report on “lung health innovation”.
We track this nonsense so you don’t have to pretend it’s normal.

Tired of reading about problems with no punchline?

Good. The Solutions section is where we stop laughing for five seconds and hand you actual templates, loopholes, and petty-revenge tactics that work.
Because sometimes the only way to beat the circus is to become the guy who saws the trapeze in half while nobody’s looking.
