This is really sad, Uriah was referee when I was mascot for #wafc in 1997 (I think) a lovely bloke. Made a big fuss of me at the time. RIP Uriah.

That's the stuff. Bloody marvellous.

They do a beautiful sausage paste in Mallorca, not unlike Nduja, you should get some of that.

Reform clowncar disintegrating.

Rats fighting in a sack. I've maintained that Reform will burn out in the next 18 months. I sincerely hope for all of our sakes I'm correct.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

🚨 Reform UK is in crisis. Again.

Just hours after a row over a proposed burqa ban, party chairman Zia Yusuf has quit. He says it’s no longer worth trying to get Reform elected.

But it was the truth.

Maybe the leopard is full. Maybe it's craving something other than faces. Has anyone even asked it?.

Gary Oldman blocked from reprising Tinker Tailor role by John le Carré’s sons Goldman led the 2011 film adaptation of le Carré’s novel as a veteran agent tasked with uncovering the identity of a Soviet spy in the British secret service

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.

He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.

The job was helping people with disabilities.
