Diverted call

Downing Street Diverted call 

 



Number 10 Cabinet Office phone rings

Chief Cabinet Secretary: Hello (muted conversation follows)

CCS: (rings PM’s hot line) Hello … PM I’ve got Chief Whip on the blower.   

PM: (tetchily) What is it, lapadoodle?

Chief Whip: PM have you got a minute?
PM: Sod off I’m still writing Sue Gray’s report.

CW: Sorry sir but this is mildly important.  Some back bench traitor has found a tape which appears to suggest that you advised me to threaten rebellious MP’s with disfunding if they didn’t support you.

PM: Mmmm is this fag one of us?

CW: Well he’s a blue back bencher... 

……….  line goes dead

CW: Are you there PM?

Pause …electronic clicking and whirring 

CW: hangs up

PM: CCS put me through to MI5

…more electronic clicking

PM: McCallum?  This is the PM

KMc: (sounding vaguely foreign) Ah my droog, er ah I mean PM, what can MI5 do for you today?

PM: That is you Ken isn’t it, you sound different …  ?? … I need a secure line for some snooping and casual rule breaking, eh what?

KMc: In a moment I’ll have that sorted for you. 

Beeping and whistling down the line …

Background music sounding suspiciously like rossiya svyashchennaya nasha derzhava

PM: Yikes what the hell was that ?

KMc: Don’t worry it’s our sophisticated encryption...

PM: Mmmmm I could have sworn that was the ruskies...

KMc: Nyet, no, er, no, this line is secure...

PM; Right, there’s a tape I would like you to capture and destroy. 

KmC: Do you have its location?

PM: That’s your job to find and destroy.  All I can tell you is that a Tory bastard back bencher has it.

KMc: Leave it with us here at the KB. ..er ..MI5 

PM: Now let me get back to writing my report investigating me.

KMc: I’ll keep you posted. Do we keep on with spreading rumours about Tory rebels? 

PM: Er yes off record natch and ping me when it’s done.

KMc: MI5 will always go the extra mile for our great Commander in Chief my Borzoi-iski ..haha 

Line goes dead…….

PM: (agitated) What in hell did you say …Ken are you there….??
