By The Wasted Onion: Starmer Threatens To Kill Larry The Cat In Effort To Convince MPs He Still Fit To Be Prime Minister
LONDON—In an effort to convince Labour MPs that he should retain his job following mounting calls to resign from his position, such as from Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has threatened to kill Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Larry the cat. "I swear, if you come even an inch closer, I will do it! I don't care how ‘beloved’ this stupid tabby is, I will fight to the bitter end for this job! I know you love Larry, he's the only thing that keeps you sad sacks willing to come into No. 10. So, let me stay as PM, and the cat stays unharmed," threatened the Prime Minister as he brandished a kitchen knife and held it up to Larry's neck. "I know you all think I'm some weak-willed pushover who will do whatever the hell you want. Especially you backbenchers! But make no mistake, I will slit this kitty's throat if you even think of forcing me out the door. Watch as the very fabric of Britain is torn to shreds when they learn the only thing they like about UK politics is snuffed out in an instant with the simple movement of a knife." As MPs and civil servants pleaded with Starmer to let the Chief Mouser go, the 19-year-old feline fought back, using guerrilla tactics like scratching and biting the PM while looking right pissed off. Following the incident which sent Starmer to A&E, Larry gave an exclusive interview to lesser news outlet ITV News while prowling the perimeter of 10 Downing Street, saying that Starmer was a "meow" and a massive "meow meow," leaving press shocked at his crude and vulgar language.

By The Wasted Onion: Emails Reveal Jeffery Epstein Did 9/11
MANHATTAN, NY—In yet another bombshell exposing the influence of the deceased paedophile, new emails released as part of the Epstein files by the Department of Justice Friday revealed that child sex offender and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein co-ordinated and executed the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "Looking to cause some chaos in nyc soon. need some planes and other stuff. - also do you have anyone insane and batshit enough to fly a plane for a fly by view of world trade center?" said an email sent by Epstein months before the 9/11 attacks, with the email having been sent to officials from Israel, Russia, Qatar, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Disneyland and the Holy Roman Empire with "Sent from my iPad" appended to the end as a signature. "look forward to seeing you. I can either come wtih [sic] assistants ( 67 , ) =or alone. Might help with getting the planes for wqhat [sic] i 'm referring to as my trip ; )," read another email from Epstein to a redacted recipient who kept talking about how much they have to work on their "stupid electric cars," according to Epstein in further emails in the thread. As questions began to mount over the new files, a spokesperson for Google claimed it had no knowledge of the emails sent by Epstein with his Gmail address until now, claiming that they only monitor and track the data of people who aren't sex offenders or traffickers. At press time, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel both declined a request for comment regarding Epstein's involvement in planning the 9/11 attacks, forcing The Wasted Onion's hand into just assuming they would likely say something completely and utterly bullshit anyway.

By The Wasted Onion: Epstein Commits Suicide Again
PALM BEACH, FL—Leaving the world shocked at the latest twist in the Epstein case, the FBI announced that financier, convicted child sex offender and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had been found dead from suicide for the second time Thursday. "Earlier this morning, the FBI confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive near his grave and was pronounced dead again shortly thereafter of another apparent suicide," read a statement in part by FBI Director Kash Patel. "I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead again early this morning from another apparent suicide after being laid to rest already years ago. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. Luckily I know my way around a Ouija board," said a statement in part from Attorney General Pam Bondi. Later, the FBI went into further detail regarding the circumstances of Epstein's second suicide at a press briefing, explaining that groundkeepers at the IJ Morris Star of David Cemetery found the child sex offender's decomposed corpse hanging from a tree nearby his unmarked tomb, where he was buried in September 2019 after his first death by suicide. At press time, U.S. President Donald Trump shut down the possibility of an investigation into the second death of Epstein, telling a reporter in the Oval Office that you, the reader wanting to understand what happened regarding Epstein and his clients, should smile more, you miserable bastard.

By The Wasted Onion: Man Who Put Cat In Box With Poison Awarded FIFA Peace Prize
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND—Proudly accepting the second ever award of its kind from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, a man who put a cat in a box with poison has been awarded the FIFA Peace Prize. "Here at FIFA, we believe that ‘Football Unites the World.’ The FIFA Peace Prize is to reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world. That is why I am so happy to announce the winner of the second annual FIFA Peace Prize for their incredible and peacefully fucked up animal treatment is Barry Dinger!" said President of FIFA Gianni Infantino before welcoming Barry Dinger to the stage to accept the award. "Yo man, thanks so much to my peeps at FIFA for this totally cool reward bro. When I put my auntie's cat in that box with a flask of poison and a radioactive source connected to a Geiger counter, I had no idea the ballers at FIFA would think my far out wacky thinking would get me this cool as hell trophy bro," said Mr. Dinger during his acceptance speech. Reaction to the award were mixed, with the RSPCA expressing frustration over whether Dinger's actions constituted animal abuse due to being unable to determine if the cat was dead or alive in the box. Following his win, Mr. Dinger said his next project would involve genetically engineering a cat that changes appearance when nearby nuclear radiation.
