The Cave of Westminster
By Feniks / July 23, 2025
Fiscal Fiasco
Oh, Westminster, you bloated beast of blunder,
Labour’s first year split fast apart, no wonder!
The Chancellor swings a fierce taxman’s whip,
Forty billion seized—our wallets take a hit!
The pound now quakes, markets twist and sway,
Westminster’s curse, oh what a farce today!
Border Chaos
The Channel’s boats glide free, no guards in sight,
Leaders sip tea while borders fall apart.
Policies falter, the people curse and groan,
“Who keeps us safe?” we cry from town to home.
No answers rise, just spin that’s cold and sparse,
Oh what a farce is Westminster’s curse!
Censored Voices
Harsh laws bind our voices, bold and free,
Censors haunt where X debates used to be.
Once words flew fast, untamed, from heart to screen,
Now rules choke thoughts in a bureaucratic sheen.
“Safety,” they claim, but truth’s left in the hearse,
Oh what a farce is Westminster’s curse!
Faded Victory
Labour’s triumph faded, a landslide turned to dust,
Voters scorn, “Where’s the good we thought we’d trust?”
Inflation stings, high streets sink to gloom,
Shops fade away, no jobs to break the doom.
Debt climbs high, a weight we can’t reverse,
Oh what a farce is Westminster’s curse!
Public Fury
The public roars, “This government’s a jest!”
On X, our rants blaze fierce, no time for rest.
From pubs to posts, we vent with fiery might,
“Your plans collapse, your promises take flight!”
No hope in view, just lies that cut and scar,
Westminster’s curse, oh what a farce today!
Satirical Salute
So raise your glass to Westminster’s flawed crew,
Your schemes a mess, your wisdom far from true!
Each tax, each gag, sparks laughter and our jeer,
We mock your chaos, bold for all to hear.
Here’s to your flops, we sing with stinging verse,
Westminster’s curse, oh what a farce today!
Why It Matters: UK Politics in 2025
This poem isn’t just satire—it’s a snapshot of UK politics in 2025. Labour’s missteps hit hard:

- Censorship: New laws spark #FreeSpeech debates on X, with users calling them a gag on expression [2].
- Borders: Channel crossings continue despite Labour’s promises, fueling voter anger [3].
- Economy: Inflation above 3% and a weak economy turn high streets into ghost towns, with jobs and shops vanishing.
