Welcome to The FY Times

We’re the only news outlet that treats politicians like the reality-TV contestants they secretly are. We’re not here to bore you with 800-word think-pieces about “resilience” while your energy bill hits four figures. We’re here to call a spade a spade, a grifter a grifter, and a crisis-redefining press release exactly what it is: weapons-grade nonsense. Scroll down for fresh satire, community wins that actually matter, and the occasional 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.
