Fenella Racist, the former Conservative Minister for Housing (6-9 October 2021), has sensationally defected to Reform UK.

Racist, 52, who lost her seat to a Labour newcomer with a large face and a briefcase, said the Tories had lost sight of ordinary voters’ priorities, which is a code they use.

This is the most 90s-ass game ad I have seen since commercial breaks between Dragonball Z.

If you were writing a comedy film about a guy who has spent billions in investor cash on building AI, this is what you would have him do about two-thirds of the way through.

This is my version of the Tom Holland lip sync video.

I want a new version where Mike Teavee is an iPad kid who pitches a fit when an Oompa Loompa tries to take it from him for safekeeping during the tour, and then walks right into the river or something because he's distracted by watching Mr. Beast at top volume.

A door wedge with the name “Hodor” engraved into it.

The whole panel will be the team twiddling their thumbs and occasionally glancing at their watches.

A collection of little toy soldiers sit in a cardboard box which sits on a slab of concrete. The inside of the box is coated with old paint. A white spray paint can sits nearby.

IT'S PRIME DAY! Let me offer you some tips on how you can get the most out of it.
