Downing Street today announced that Deputy Dawg John 'Twiggy' Prescott is starving.
Journalists were shocked, as they interviewed him, as he'd visibly shrunk to 22 stones almost overnight, and was only a shadow of his former blue whale self.

He only had eight fish suppers and a sherry trifle for lunch, washed down with twelve pints of bitter. Something has to be done.'
A spokespig for Mr. Prescott admitted he was in trouble: 'Aye, 'e's in reet bad shape, down to 'is last seven thousand black poodins, ah 'ope he won't fade away with 'is problem.' And another spokesman, for the Icelandic Whaling Company, said: 'Thaar he blows!!!!'
