In past years #Theapprentice wasn't the main course, it was just the appetiser for You're Fired, which they replaced with this Unfinished Business shit. They've fucked it.

Assuming it's seven letters then the answer is CAPSTAN. CAP (short for "capability" plus STAN (song by Eminem). Put them together to get cigarette brand.

It's a tu quoque fallacy, though. Yeah, he's wrong, but being a massive hypocrite is a separate issue.

Didn't Corbyn get pilloried for using that pronunciation of Epstein? #bbcaq

The requested Pritster surround was a square not a circle, Al Johnson presumably knowing the basics of Napoleonic era anti-cavalry defence. @LBC @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Going to be Ian Duncan Smith, isn't it? That'll give me a window to get my bin back in after collection day. #C4News

I suspect those familiar with a certain video treatment of In Dulci Jubilo will have substituted the words "I'm a Council Gritter" during the first paragraph.

If you provide ChatGPT with feedback advising that following its instructions caused your ballsack to explode it'll reply with "Would you me to show you how to make your pubes burn off too? Just say the word."

I am in total agreement with that last caller in as much that Kings Cross is indeed next to St Pancras. It is a hill that I will die on. #bbcaq

Was Sandra advocating the deportation of British citizens there? Because that went out in the 1830s. #bbcaq

Chris Philp should really not be let loose to talk untruths in the chamber without Mick Lynch present in the public gallery to do his Statler and/or Waldorf act.

It's hardly new: The Friday Night Armistice gang filmed themselves in comedy clubs telling unattributed MPs' jokes prior to the 1997 election.

I've got "Knees up Mother Brown" as an earworm now, so thanks for that.

So "telling people what they don't want to hear" means "talking bollocks", then.... #bbcaq

Was after he fell in the sea but well before he shouted "Well ALL RIGHT!", accompanied by a fist pump, in Sheffield, which happened at a fate-tempting "victory" rally the weekend before the 1992 GE.

I'm old enough to remember the 1985 local elections appearing to presage a Neil Kinnock win in the next GE. Fast forward to 1987....

The episode where they get a psychiatrist in to cure Ding Dong's proclivity for raping horses is a comedic masterpiece.

Lol. My old cat was also an asteroid destroyer courtesy of a) only ever jumping on men's laps and b) ensuring that her not-inconsiderable heft landed plumb on the tender parts when she so jumped.

Likely because it is, to paraphrase the wording on X-bigots' profiles, an 'Adult Feline Female'.

Er … no, Mary, you wear a mask to prevent your own lurgy spreading to others. Why didn’t the chair put her right? #bbcaq

I posit that blanket coverage by the national broadcaster, with particular reference to the previous host of this show, has not a little to do with Reform's popularity. #bbcaq

It worked too: Long buckled under and started agreeing with Badenoch. #C4News

Badenoch employs the rightwing manoeuvre of playing the victim when challenged. #C4News

Narrator: The press conference today was *entirely* about politics and the Conservative Party. #C4News
