Why name check World Machine when this - as the title suggests - comes from Running in the Family? Powell is such a dick. #TOTP

This song is all about that day in Year 8 when Billie, dissatisfied with her quarter of Kola Kubes, began to covet the sweets bought by that girl in her maths class.

They've let themselves down, they've let the country down, and most importantly, they've let #TOTP down.

Well done to Sky for correcting this bit of ignorance.

As shown extensively in the Epstein files there's plenty of proof that being rich doesn't mean you have any great insights into the world.

Honestly, 'Fletch' and Ally gushing over an 'astonishing finish', whereas we all know if you'd scored that on a park pitch you'd immediately be labelled a right spawny git. #WHUMUN

My first act as leader would be to reinstate the β€˜tonight’s line-up on BBC1’ trailers and have individual episode trailers, rather than trailers for an entire series.

Council worker here. If you want a pothole, blocked drain, graffiti or anything bad quickly resolved, moan about it to a local newspaper with photos. It gets sorted as soon as possible and everyone is happy. Works like a charm everytime.

Happy 95th anniversary of the birth of Les Dawson to all who celebrate (and if you don’t, you should be asking yourself some serious questions)
