Rating: PG-13 (for political satire and mild suspenseful thrills)Synopsis:In the fog-drenched streets of a Britain teetering on the edge of chaos, The Misleaders unfolds as a riotous comedy-mystery with a heart-pounding suspense twist. When a mysterious £22 billion vanishes from the public coffers—reported by the Office for National Statistics on August 30, 2025—four bumbling political figures find themselves at the center of a scandal that could topple the government… or send them into hiding.

• Ex'Starmer'Nator (Keir Starmer), played by a hapless Hugh Grant type, is the ex-prime minister-in-hiding, a once-charismatic leader now reduced to muttering apologies in a bunker. His "terminator" persona has backfired, and he’s dodging pitchfork-wielding protesters with a comically ineffective security detail. But is he hiding a secret ledger that could explain the missing billions?
• Mr. 'Net Zero' (Ed Miliband), portrayed by a flustered John Cleese, is the eco-obsessed energy czar whose net-zero schemes have sparked an energy crisis—think rolling blackouts and a 10% bill hike per the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. His quirky obsession with wind turbines leads him to stumble upon a cryptic clue: a map with X’s marking hidden offshore accounts. Is he a villain or just hilariously clueless?
• Madam Cooper (Yvette Cooper), brought to life by a deadpan Olivia Colman, is the steely Home Secretary whose immigration crackdown—suspending the family reunion scheme per The Guardian, September 1, 2025—has unleashed a wave of asylum hotel protests. Her icy demeanor hides a nervous tic: she keeps losing her top-secret visa files, sparking a madcap chase across London. Could she be framing someone to cover her tracks?
• Angela Drainer (Angela Rayner), played by a cheeky Rebel Wilson, is the Deputy PM with a knack for financial fiascos. Accused by the Daily Mail (August 31, 2025) of dodging taxes with a £650,000 home deal, she’s the wildcard—prone to hilarious gaffes but oddly resourceful. Her latest scheme? A trust fund “disguise” that accidentally uncovers a money-laundering ring tied to the missing cash.

As riots erupt and the public demands answers, the quartet stumbles into a labyrinthine mystery. A shadowy figure—codename “The Pollster”—lurks in the wings, manipulating polls (à la The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer) to keep the Misleaders in power. With each clue—lost files, offshore maps, and a suspiciously timed inheritance tax hike—they bicker their way toward the truth, only to realize the money might fund a secret bunker party… or a global conspiracy!
The comedy peaks with a slapstick chase through Parliament, where Angela trips over a wind turbine model, Madam Cooper misplaces her handcuffs, and Ex'Starmer'Nator accidentally livestreams their blunders. The suspense builds as The Pollster’s identity teeters on revelation—could it be a rogue advisor or a foreign agent?—leading to a nail-biting climax aboard a sinking yacht off Brighton, where the Misleaders must decide: confess or swim.
Packed with laugh-out-loud one-liners, red herrings, and a twist that leaves audiences guessing, The Misleaders is a satirical romp that asks: can Britain’s leaders outwit their own incompetence—or will the truth sink them all? Stay tuned for the mid-credits scene, where a new poll hints at an even wilder sequel!
