We are sorry to say that the launch of Britain's latest and most exciting political party Deform UK has been scrubbed. Our leader Major Tristum Briggs-Stratton rtd. was due to address the nation on this platform, flanked and framed by 6 Union flags – 2 more than Reform and 4 more than Labour. However, his good lady, Serafin Briggs-Stratton, whilst acting with all good faith, accidently mixed the flags in the washing machine on a hot wash with a dog basket blanket from one of their golden retrievers (Monty). As a result all the Union flags have become purple, white and purple. We attempted to purchase replacements on Amazon for a next day delivery but for some inexplicable reason there has been a run on Union flags of late. Mrs Butterworth, our head of DOGE, said we should make a bulk purchase of 100 Union flags on the Ching web site, which would be a saving in the long run, as Union flags would always be needed. Unfortunately, after ordering we found out that Ching don't do 24 hour delivery and that our consignment of flags will be 2 months in coming via the Eastern seaboard of America and the Panama canal. This delay, whilst frustrating, gives us the opportunity to elect a new Party treasurer, following the the sudden dissapearance of his predecessor in mysterious circumstances. We shall also be employing a new web designer to bring you a new exciting layout to this page, as it turns out that the man we employed on Gumtree wrote all his own 6 star reviews.
