I love this story. This is when things are special for the UK and US.
OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

Look. I'm not very bright, and I'm not very clever at politics. While this is good news I'm sure I remember MPs being suspended for voting against the Govt on keeping it earlier this year.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has confirmed the two-child benefit cap will be lifted.
She told the Commons: “We on this side of the House do not believe that the solution to a broken welfare system is to punish the most vulnerable children” 👏

I love a bit of Ivor Cutler. You need to get hip to his jive, frankly.
"My first introduction to Ivor Cutler was his 1975 album, Velvet Donkey. It sounded like I’d stumbled upon some ancient relic; a pre-historic recording that only a select few had ever been granted the golden opportunity to hear"

To be fair, that's a good gag.
Reeves says the government is “freezing Russian assets”.
But she does not mean Nigel Farage, she says.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.
Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.
Like if you want Mone on trial.
