Looking forward to the year, maybe 47 years in the future, when the first person voted out of I'm A Celeb isn't a black woman.

Fun fact! Last year the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund, which you already have to leap through fiery hoops to access, was cut from £5,000 to £3,000 per child.

Liverpool's policy of spending the GDP of Belgium on several players who play in positions that don't exist in their formation will play dividends in the end. Keep the faith.

As everyone has said, an excellent call. It also makes me think Starmer should appoint Rylan Clark or Danny Dyer as UK ambassador to the US.
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

At the current rate of progress, Shabana Mahmood will be announcing the reintroduction of chattel slavery by March next year. Labour will be polling at about 10%, leading the Government to question whether the new measures go far enough.

I've a feeling that one of the main themes of the 2026 World Cup might be that CONCACAF had too many qualifying places.

In what appears to be a terrorist attack on me, personally, some bastard has combined Scrabble and Balatro for a game I can download to my phone. (Letterlike, if you're interested).

I wonder if Labour's polling results will go up as a result of boastfully adopting ludicrously hard right and inexcusably cruel immigration policies in an attempt to appease some of the worst people alive?

This is wise. The best way forward is to spend another couple of weeks with a different mooted tax rise/ perk cut on the front pages every day, pissing off another 10-20% of the electorate on a daily basis.

Do keep up, David. Criticising how Epstein wrote emails is ableist.

We're a few hours away from a searingly hot take along the lines of "actually, the way Jeffrey Epstein writes emails is normal, and you are all out of touch".

This reads an awful lot like Epstein trying to work out which of his clients turned informant.

Possibly heretical take, but the thing Morgan McSweeney gets most credit for - organising a winning general election campaign - he did terribly. Labour got 33.7% of the vote against a despised, knackered Government, a share much lower than earlier polls had indicated.
