It has come to my attention that our former Prime Minister, Liz Truss, is two sandwiches short of a picnic.

And, given the opportunity, Fagash would have sent them all back. Which just goes to show how little we've progressed in 75 years.

At least that Dud had real talent. Unlike our dud PM.

The situation is perfectly clear: Trump is innocent of all allegations made against him. He's simply refusing to release the Epstein files because he wants to protect those whose reputation might otherwise suffer irreparable damage. People like...*checks notes*...Bill Clinton. πŸ€”

Perhaps if you phrased your question without the use of the perjorative term 'hobo' you might receive a more measured sample and response.

So, according to the BBC, some polls suggest that Starmer is 'the most unpopular PM in British history'. More unpopular than The Lettuce? More unpopular than Lord North, Chamberlain and Eden? Really? People need to get a grip.

Prime Minister will fight any attempt to replace him, friends say Allies of the prime minister are worried his job might be under immediate threat.

Even though, at the time, we were neighbours of Bristol Airport, their ever vigilant customs officials pulled us aside on our return from a trip to an Amsterdam Christmas fair to spend 10 minutes delving with ungloved hands into a pack of innocuous brandy soaked raisins. Reader, we binned them.

Of course, as Davie and Turness have resigned over accusations of left-wing bias, it's quite likely that the BBC Board will appoint Fagash as the new DG.

What's needed now at the Beeb is the replacement of Mason, Kuenssberg and Bruce. Until that happens, the bias will continue.

Astonishing. Davie resigns over a Trump speech, when it should be because of the BBC's endless platforming of Fagash and Co.

To illustrate Musk's obscene Tesla pay packet: counting one dollar a second, it would take you (roughly) 32,000 years to count $1 trillion. That's 400 lifetimes.

Imagine a world without Trump, Musk and Farage. It wouldn't be perfect – the world never is – but it would be a damn sight better than the one we currently have.

Teaching empathy? In Denmark, they’re learning it in school Denmark is one of happiest countries in the world. Teaching empathy was mandatory in Denmark is a factor that contributes to the happiness of the country.

'In Danish schools an hour a week is dedicated to the β€œKlassens tid”, an empathy lesson for students aged 6 to 16 years.'

If we did the same here in the UK, maybe we could become one of 'the happiest countries in world' too.
