Having Energy sold at cost would save the UK £1,000 per household and be a massive boon to the economy.

Instead you pay £30bn extra which goes almost entirely to people who don't live, pay tax or spend money in the UK.

Joel,

I was watching Cunk on Earth last night and the line about The Titan 1 C becoming the world's first single-use submarine nearly made me wet myself. Incredible stuff. I'd like to see A.I. try to get me to the point of urinal incontinence.

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

For the uninitiated, this is an allusion to the brilliant Tony Hancock in "Twelve Angry Men" written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.

Such a pity that the Washington reporter did not reply "A brave Hungarian peasant girl" in answer to Trump's "Who?".

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

In 1879, ‘Punch’ predicted video calls: In this cartoon, parents ‘set up an electric camera obscura over their bedroom mantel-piece, and gladden their eyes with the sight of their Children at the Antipodes, and converse gaily with them through the wire’.
