Most do it because it’s a chance to work with the very best in the business. And if you’ve worked for the aroyal Household you can go anywhere in private service or FOH. There’s also quite strong camaraderie if you fit in.

Wait - your Dangly Dan aren’t you? Yeah, she told someone.

Don’t be silly. She’ll use some of the Β£47bn of β€˜savings’ they’ll make. Y’know - the ones they couldn’t find in the 14 fucking years they were in power. That Β£47bn.

And what are these numpties yakking on about instead of building reactors? 50,000 fit young people eager to work but without the right paperwork.

That’s not an empty forest. That’s the main hall of the story party conference. Unfortunately, even though there was no one to hear it, the cameras were running…

He knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s dog whistling so loudly we can all hear it.

Give me written words every time. Mainly because X and Bluesky force you to at least attempt to be succinct. But everyone yaks on unnecessarily on video and I definitely haven’t got time for that

As a gay man I’d get exactly this request from girl friends. I have always regarded it as a badge of the greatest honour.

Supposedly Berlin number plates on English cars - Austin and Wolseley mainly

Not uncommon. In Italy many (I’d say most but I don’t have actual numbers) luxury cars were RHD. Lancia especially. It started as a chauffeur thing, but became a fashion thing. In Japan, lhd is popular on luxury imports for exactly the same reason.

Precisely. I hope he comes to Beaconsfield, Altrincham, Harrogate, Bruton, Etc etc and starts complaining about a lack of integration. Otherwise people might start thinking he’s just a racist dog-whistler

What Jenrick says about wanting integrated, mixed communities would be true if he spent a month visiting Beaconsfield, Altrincham, Carmarthen, Inverness and Lavenham and complained that β€œall he sees are white faces and that this is wrong.” But he won’t, so it isn’t.

My favourite bit is the β€œfeedback loop” that isn’t. It’s been created by someone who half-understands AI and can’t be arsed to proof anything.

My Mum had all those early books. I used to secretly read them whenever I was home for the holidays. I still have her copy of Prudence and read it whenever I need cheering up. It reminds me of my Mum and always makes me laugh out loud.

I hated the naff cheesy title of his BBC programme (Sideways - wince) so much that I refused to listen to it. The odd occasions I’ve heard him speak have reinforced my belief that he’s a self-absorbed windbag who thinks he’s ten times cleverer than he really is.

I just don’t understand it. He looked so *nice*…

I know. It’s hardly worth watching the rest of the series now…

Well I’m scared. If they are emboldened enough to do this, next time it’ll be something more confrontational. And then…

We should all be scared, frankly.

Nope - everyone else is grateful to you for reminding them…

Get it checked - please. If the red area was a bit like a β€œbullseye” or halo shape it could be a tick bite that has carried Lyme’s disease. Easy enough to treat early but very nasty indeed if left…

A black woman actually saying out loud β€œThey should go back to where they came from” - a phrase familiar to anyone who lived through 1970s National Front propaganda - is a thing I never thought I’d hear.

Just as Trump is working overtime to trash America’s reputation in the world, so the Netanyahu regime is tirelessly destroying Israel’s reputation as a decent civilised country. They must not be allowed to succeed…

Jesus fucking Christ. Surely this must be fake? Please tell me this is fake??

Christ. I hadn’t realised she was *that* bad… a Lord Glasman endorsement is one up from an Iron Cross…

Mine would probably read something like β€œβ­οΈ Did a terrible fart in Formal Menswear and just smiled to himself. And he only bought a Β£2.50 birthday card after a 2-hour visit”. What would your review say?

Nothing about the membership of the House of Lords makes any sense at all - and that might be why it’s survived: it’s so bonkers no one knows where to begin replacing it…

He’s a strange cove, that Glasman. He seems to hate everything that the Labour a party stands for, and yet can’t bring himself to leave and join his fellow Reformers …

I love it too. But it’s yet another β€œfast car” with a gopping ugly front end. Gaping air vents, squinty lights, fussy detailing, blocky proportions. I can’t remember the last time I saw a new performance car with a well-styled front end.
