Convincing to the EU?

It would also need to be a cross party request.

In the last week, Donald Trump has insisted that there are no more stores left in war-ravaged Portland, asserted that Joe Biden was president during the January 6th insurrection, hosted conspiracy theorists for an "Antifa" summit, and said he'd consider pardoning his good friend the sex trafficker.

Threads is hard to beat for wall-to-wall silliness. There’s still not enough of that here.

Shame not everyone did. Looks like the merry go round is off again.

If they could be sure that the most fractious and EU suspicious country in Western Europe wouldn’t just flounce off again following a change of government.

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Don’t blame the BBC. At least they are reporting it.

Telegraph, Mail, Sun? You know, the ones that really do the tough investigative hounding out of wrongdoers …?

And then you’re done. We’re thinking of a winter weekend somewhere for the same reason.

I’m quite pleased to hear that all chocolate is equally ‘forbidden’. So it should be. It’s too delicious to be anything else .

1. This is hilarious and brilliant, bravo
2. The original meaning of "decimated" hasn't stuck because that meaning just isn't particularly useful anymore
3. The emotional horror of 1/10th of the people you work with being murdered makes the modern usage seem metaphorically valid to me

They need to get their ducks in a row. As I’ve said, it needs to be a cross-party decision. Even the last referendum wasn’t run on party political lines (though it’s easy to forget this considering what came after)

How do you see that working at the moment?

Just noticed this very nice new mural on the outside of the Broadway centre in Bradford, elegantly touching on the city’s past associations with the wool industry

The mural shows brightly coloured threads forming a weave, merging with grey industrial chimneys and their smoke

Would vegetarian tampons be ok?
Or do they need to be British beef or nothing?
