Are they still going? I never actually saw them but used to see them advertised at places like The Archer (in Jesmond, as was), where I used to go to play pool with my mates years ago. I always thought the name was great

That’s my night / nightmares sorted out

Not the fella from the erstwhile Tyneside-based tribute act ‘Bon Geordie’?

TV presenter gets some tickets and gives one to his wife Also, I’m assuming Swift paid for the protection?

It’s mental (as mental as she is tbh) that Badenoch is even a member of parliament

I scrolled to about 10 mins in out of curiosity. Not surprised it’s on for over an hour. He makes Fish seem pithy. I don’t know what’s worse tbh, these self appointed ITKs or the people who hang on their every word

You couldn’t make it up

I do agree with you actually. I take issue with false equivalence from the press though. But there’s definitely been some PR own goals that allows for the ‘they’re all the same’ narrative. Which plays into Reform’s hands

The donations were all within the rules. You can argue the rules need changing but that wasn’t the argument being made under the previous government from those in the press. Same people made very little of the contracts awarded to Tory’s mates. The ones that had loads of red flags for corruption and amounted to billions of pounds of public funds

That’s quite the take. He’d have been over the moon, purely due to the implications for us, if Man City hadn’t won that case. He’s fucking odd, even by the standards of that place, though

Third view is she’s telling the truth and she’s stepping down because people like Peston are obsessed with making her the story (to paraphrase). And she’s still working for no. 10 as a special adviser.

At least we’ve got the batsmen who are well equipped to dig in and bat for a draw 👍🏻

Did you know that, in the eponymous nursery rhyme, nowhere does it mention that Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Emails in general for me.

Got very little excuse for not knowing what time it is I suppose
