Babies cried. Citizens fled screaming into the streets in terror. It was not the start to a Labour Party conference that Gordon Brown could have anticipated. The problem lay in the lights. ‘They knew that Gordon doesn’t look good with too much backlighting,’ explained a supporter. ‘It doesn’t do justice to his teeth. That’s why we believe Blair’s lot set him up.’

It was easy to see their point. As the iron chancellor gave his speech to a packed conference, the words ‘Darth Sidius’ were muttered by many watching the large screen above the stage. It was a thought given extra emphasis when Brown explained how he plan to clamp down on the ‘rebel scum’ that blight the land, and promised that only he has the ‘right sort of force to defeat the young padawan called Cameron’.

The only hope for the party lay in the form of a young member of the imperial family, Princess Cherie, who fled from the conference proclaiming her disgust with the lies and deceit being spoken on stage. Who knows where this epic story will lead, but for many attending the conference, it was further proof that Manchester really is on a different planet.
