A sketch I wrote, which was recorded for the BBC Radio 4 Extra show "Newsjack", but was edited out before broadcast.

FX: KNOCK ON DOOR

FX: DOOR OPEN

TERESA MAY: Ah Boris.

BORIS JOHNSON: Ah-ha Madam Prime minister you asked to see me.

TERESA MAY: No, I didn’t.

BORIS JOHNSON: No, you didn’t. But I decided you needed to see me so I told everyone you wanted to see me. And now I’m here.

TERESA MAY: Well, you better come into my office then.

BORIS JOHNSON: Please, after you.

TERESA MAY: Thank you, bor—

BORIS JOHNSON: --ME FIRST!

FX: BORIS WRESTLING HIS WAY THOUGH THE DOOR.

TERESA MAY: Boris, Boris, stop that.

BORIS JOHNSON: AH-HA I WIN.

TERESA MAY: I thought you we’re holding the door open for me.

BORIS JOHNSON: That’s what I thought initially. Then I weighed up the options and thought. I could win this. BANG. I was right. Ya me.

TERESA MAY: Is this really the time for this? I’m a busy woman.

BORIS: I’m sorry, Prime Minister.

FX: PACKET RUSTLING

BORIS JOHNSON: Would you like a biscuit?

TERESA MAY: Oh, go on then.

FX: BORIS QUICKLY EATING ALL THE BISCUITS Á LA COOKIE MONSTER.

BORIS JOHNSON: Oh sorry, there seems to be none left. I WIN THE BISCUITS.

TERESA MAY: Look, I have a lot of meetings today. Will you please just take a seat and tell me what you want?

BORIS JOHNSON: Okay. Where are you sitting?

TERESA MAY: Where I always sit--

FX: BORIS RUNS AND JUMPS INTO A SEAT

BORIS JOHNSON: Not if I get there first. Who wins?

TERESA MAY: Who wins what?

BORIS JOHNSON: Who wins the chairs?

TERESA MAY: Is it you?

BORIS JOHNSON: I win the chairs!

TERESA MAY: (SIGH) Tell me, why did you ask yourself here?

BORIS JOHNSON: You wanted to talk to me Prime Minister.

TERESA MAY: That seems a little farfetched, but carry on, why did I want to talk to you?

BORIS JOHNSON: Because I want to be party leader.

TERESA MAY: I think that’s a wonderful idea.

BORIS JOHNSON: You do?

TERESA MAY: I do.

BORIS JOHNSON: Well, I’m not going to do it. I don’t care how much you beg. You must stay in power.

TERESA MAY: Really?

BORIS JOHNSON: Really! This country is heading towards disaster unless you remain as prime minister.

TERESA MAY: Boris?

BORIS JOHNSON: Yes, Prime Minister?

TERESA MAY: Stay right here.

BORIS JOHNSON: Ohh, is that the time? Must go.

FX: BORIS LEAVING

TERESA MAY: I win.

I had some material recorded for Radio 4 extras Newsjack last night. Sadly I just got an e-mail saying my sketch was edited out before broadcast.

I shouldn’t feel bad, considering how many times I haven’t got anything even close to broadcast before. This, in theory at least, is just another one of those times. In practise “nearly” is sometimes worse than “not at all”.

Anyway, the news is still happening so I am still writing

This is my gag from BBC radio 4 extra’s Newsjack 22-10-2020

Finally some good news: I have got some material on BBC radio 4 extras topical news show Newsjack. It’s on at 10:30 tonight. No idea what material they have used. Probably whatever pun makes you groan the most. But at least I can start calling myself a writer again.

Here is the page from my note book where I wrote the now legendary Jeremy Corbyn gag used on episode 3 series 16 of Newsjack. This was scribbled down in a petrol station straight after hearing about it on the radio.
