Quick, get to the UK. They'll give us Β£40k to leave!

What could go wrong?

What happens to Noem now?

Does she get deflated and put in the back of a wardrobe somewhere?

It can't.

Where? Where did it land? And who was "The Eagle"?

Actually. Hold that.

I don't want to know.

I'm not buying it unless I can get a copy with no. 4 emblazoned across the front.

Money isn't everything.

I mean, sure, it'll cost Spurs to go down, but imagine the laugh that'll give the rest of us.

No auto-correct.

It's not "Pushy Willow"

Not proper cricket.

Too soon?

This should apply in the UK as well.

Excellent news. Ed is a hero, whoever he's friends with.

Which, now you mention it, is s bit of an odd thing to write.

Do men at the Spectator not know any women?

There’s a joke going round business and diplomatic circles in the Gulf at the moment.

Q: What’s the difference between Trump and Netanyahu?

A: One is the President of the USA. The other is married to Melania.

Is it too early for "Well. It's not proper cricket"?

Same here. Since 2003.

But, I am finding it tempting to go a little further afield, especially if next winter is as miserable as this one.

I still won't enjoy it.

Before then, we've got 5 European holidays booked for the next 2 years, all by car or train.

Not one single country has aligned itself with US and Israel.

Thats 193 to 2

193 countries on the right side of history.

Why do the media support this war/Trump/Netanyahu?

We paid an ex-Tory MP to lobby for our fake Chinese firm - and authorities did nothing Investigation finds no rules were broken. It just goes to show how few rules there are.

Last week, UK lobbying regulator closed investigation into ex Tory MP Ben Howlett

We offered Howlett money to work for a fake Chinese investor. He introduced us to a dozen Labour MPs

Regulator didn't even speak to us. Our system is broken

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won't be able to do anything else at all

Shabana Mahmood

Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don't want extremes - they want a system that is managed and fair

Shabana Mahmood is the UK home secretary

This is a hot mess of outright lies and misinformation from the Home Secretary, designed to try and persuade people that a government which is implementing some of the most hostile anti-immigration/asylum policies, in practice, for decades is progressive. 1/

Thanks Ceri.

We have a simple maxim regarding our show. Want to come? Buy a ticket. Don’t want to come? Don’t.

Our volunteers and audiences keep this theatre alive. Katie Hopkins has performed a stand-up show at the theatre for three years and delivers a fully sold out theatre. Stamford Corn Exchange supports an individual’s freedom to choose.

I've been threatened with legal action. My email was just to the venue (Stamford Corn Exchange), but they want my address to pass to their legal department.

Odd wording on the event webpage:

β€œPlease note – the Stamford Corn Exchange is proud to lend its stage to a wide variety of performers.
