As the usual nonsense flowed in from around the world to congratulate Sir Keir Starmer on his resounding victory in the UK election, some party poopers were not so jubilant.

Trump - ever the contrarian - decided to congratulate Nigel Farage instead:

Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success. Nigel is a man who truly loves his Country! DJT.

Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov cautioned:

You know the saying about the pudding? You understand that this is a pudding when you eat it?

Wise words. A yummy rum baba or austere buckwheat kasha, let's wait and see.

Sir Cliff Richard added:

We're all goin' on a summer holiday
No more workin' for a week or two
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday
No more worries for me or you
For a week or two

More wise words.
