Friday Jan 21, 2022
It’s the week in which Boris Johnson watched a Tory defect to Labour, was accused of presiding over party which tries to ‘blackmail’ MPs into line, and heard every party tell him to resign.

Special edition: 🎄The Stooshie Christmas Quiz 2021

Friday Dec 17, 2021
It’s nearly the end of term, and the headmaster has let everyone bring in games. We pitch Courier Editor David Clegg against political reporter Rachel Amery in our year-end quiz, with questions from chair Paul Malik and the rest of the Stooshie team. Whoever wins, the truth wins. Which is just as well, because the points are not flowing as freely as the Christmas sherry…

Friday Dec 10, 2021
Friday Dec 10, 2021
It’s the week in which Boris Johnson continued to shock and amaze a disbelieving public with denials about parties at No 10 Downing St. We watched leaders line up to call for his resignation and the prime minister say he’s going nowhere. Meanwhile, Scotland was given some free advice on tackling a shocking drugs-death crisis and the SNP Government set out its spending plans, including how councils may have to push up taxes to plug gaps.
