Starmer Accidentally Invites Only People Named Sam to Anti-Semitism Summit After Misreading Memo

LONDON - In what Downing Street is calling a "minor administrative hiccup," Prime Minister Keir Starmer accidentally invited dozens of people named Sam to Tuesday's crucial antisemitism summit after apparently misreading his briefing notes.
The mix-up became apparent when confused attendees began arriving at Number 10, including Sam from accounting at a Birmingham plumbing firm, retired librarian Samantha Jenkins, and professional dart player "Big Sam" Thompson, all wondering why they'd received official government invitations.
"I thought it was brilliant that the PM finally wanted to tackle anti-Sam sentiment in this country," said Samuel Peterson, a postal worker from Leeds who took the day off work to attend. "I've been saying for years that people discriminate against us Sams. Always assuming we're short for Samuel or Samantha - some of us are just Sam, you know?"
Downing Street staff reportedly spent the morning frantically trying to explain to bewildered Sams that there had been a "clerical error," while simultaneously attempting to reach actual religious and community leaders who never received invitations.
"The Prime Minister takes both antisemitism and literacy very seriously," said a flustered spokesperson while ushering out Sam the window cleaner. "We're looking into getting him those reading glasses he's been putting off."
The real summit has been rescheduled for Thursday, with staff triple-checking all correspondence and briefly considering changing the meeting topic to "supporting the Sam community" just to avoid waste.
