Christ I hadn't thought about that but you're absolutely right. He was obsessed with Zelensky/Ukraine and the fact that they haven't had an election due to the war

As Grimsby doesn't have VAR, I genuinely forget it exists. Then I'll watch a game that includes it and it's just so jarring. And boring.

Completely agree with what you say here

There is no right or wrong, if pumping works for you it works! My best friend was desperate to breastfeed but ended up having to use formula in the end, (not even pump) as she wasn't producing enough milk.

You got this!

My favourite thing about this is that if you combine Tory + Reform votes they still don't beat the Greens.

Just excellent all round.

Oh I love this - thanks for sharing! I miss the Davis turkeys. I had never seen wild turkeys before I moved there, and we ran into them on our first day - mind was blown!

Remember this, our constitutional monarchy does not allow for the arrest of the monarch, they are immune from all criminal prosecution.

Andrew was born second in line to the throne. He was a hair’s breadth from ultimate immunity.

The system cannot hold.

Genuinely didn't mind the royals one way or the other my whole life. In fact, I think I was more pro then anti?

But when she used our money to ensure Andrew didn't have to go to trial? Instantly made me a republican

Worst case for an offense like this is life imprisonment

Not saying that's what he'd get if found guilty, but worst case is definitely not a slap on the wrist. It's a serious crime

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

1 square = 1 year.

"there's an unaired episode where I lost my ---- talking about John Fenty"

... That's funny because my recollection of the podcasts from 10 years ago was that they were always just an hour of you bitching about Fenty & Henry trying to bring it back to the topic on hand 🀣 ... It must have been bad!

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent Β£700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform
