Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said he was “disappointed” that nobody had noticed him sitting naked at Prime Minister’s Questions last week. Despite breaking house protocol by wearing absolutely nothing, the youthful MP was allowed into the chamber, sat for 30 minutes, and even asked two questions.

“I have to admit”, he admitted, “I was a little bit surprised that nobody said anything. They didn’t even seem uncomfortable about having me sit naked among them. At one point, I got really close to this snotty Tory fella and he didn’t even stir. Even when I got up to ask questions, it was as if I wasn’t there.”

Fellow MPs, when told that Nick Clegg was stark nackers naked during PMQs said that they “were astonished”. MP for Shytte South Brianna Zoology-Degree said that it was “revolting”, and asked for television footage so that she could have a proper look.

Lib Dem MP for Cackwater North, Alan Bypass-Smith, said that he fully supported Nick Clegg’s nakedness, and encouraged other Liberal Democrat MPs to follow suit by ditching their two-party system suits and going nuddy in the House of Commons.

“I didn’t notice it at all until Nick came up to me in the tea room afterwards and asked me what I thought of his performance. I said the usual platitudes, you know – great questions, well done, back slapping, all that – and then he asked me what I thought of his cock. I was taken aback. So when I got home, I looked on YouTube, and there he was – starkers! He was probably starkers when he was talking to me afterwards, too. I just don’t remember.”

Clegg himself said that he would continue to try and get someone’s attention, and is rumoured to be thinking of emulating the late Lib Dem MP Martin McWretched whose virtuoso 30-minute display of auto-erotic asphyxiation, which went horribly wrong and almost resulted in his death during a debate on the NHS was completely and utterly ignored by the entire house, and was only discovered by cleaners a week later.

“I might give that a go,” mused Clegg. “And next week, I think I’ll go wearing the wife’s clothes. Not that I’m trying to get attention, they’re just comfortable and I know nobody will see me.”
