Club’s classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: “If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club.”
This is the worst re-sloganing of all time

So in terms of the actual intel, seems a case of "what a cock-up - thankfully the info passed this time was shit, good job the law's wording has now changed".
But the embassy issue, China relations, and Farage's ability to sling mud at both Lab and Tories now big headaches.
Can anyone point me towards a good explainer about all the Chinese spying stuff - perhaps with big, bright pictures and simple, plonker-friendly words?
Because this post resonates with me greatly; I don't understand what's going on.
Yes please, love it

The words 'THE CITADEL' from the Hollow Knight: Silksong map.
I finally reached The Citadel in Silksong today, and I am as pleased as punch. What a hard but rewarding game.

Bravo.

What a mad world. 93% of the US stock market is owned by just 10% of the population. And they’re not just collecting wealth beyond the dreams of avarice - they’re collecting power, owning media, social media, buying politicians and policy.

Switching this concept around, but US press secretary Karoline Leavitt was born 11 days after South Park first aired.
Her husband was 32.
It's not a ban-worthy opinion, it just makes you sound rather pompous.

• ordering that cartoons for unaccompanied asylum seeker's children be painted over
• taking £75k from a shady firm in the British Virgin Islands

Watched it for the first time in a long while the other day and found it quite a sad experience. The tired format, H&M going through the motions, the painful scripted jokes.
Felt way past bedtime for the show.
