This hilarious fake appeal for struggling MPs really tugs on the heartstrings
We’re sorry to have to tug on your heartstrings after everything you’ve been through, but it’s important that you hear this appeal on behalf of struggling MPs.
Forget the hungry school children – more important people are in need.#eatnowttohelpout pic.twitter.com/UnxIl3lbhr

“Donate as little as £100,000 today, and you’ll receive this fountain pen …and a multi-million pound PPE contract as a welcome gift.“
It gets to you doesn’t it? Right in the feels.
Here's an appeal with a difference. https://t.co/qNw3hXgQt4

On Sunday, with all the attention being given to those genuinely in need, hungry children in particular, Larry and Paul decided to give the “appeal” a boost with a hashtag.

It worked – and #MPsAppeal trended for hours. The unfortunate honourable members must have been so touched.
Please spare a thought for these MPs living on the breadline. #MPsAppeal https://t.co/Ni1ihyopnE

This is tragic. I have not been so moved in years. So much so that I am going to donate a month’s celery to the #MPsAppeal https://t.co/N4su10q0Kt

If you feel like you really want to give your hard-earned cash to the poor desperate souls of Westminster, don’t worry – you probably already are.
You can also watch the appeal on YouTube, along with Larry and Paul’s other satirical masterpieces.
