dear media, Jim Ratcliffe’s far-right language does not mean it’s a green light for a phone-in asking ‘is he right?’ it’s the moment to call out his use of far-right language

It would be great if Ratcliffe could do for INEOS sales what Muskkk did for Tesla sales. Sadly, they don’t seem to make any consumer products apart from a knock off of a 50 year old Land Rover that no one in their right mind would buy anyway.

Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.

Does anyone here have experience of the eye massagers that are heavily advertised on TikTok etc? They claim to treat sinus congestion, something I have experienced for years.

I saw the trailer for 'They Will Kill You' and the premise looks very familiar. I'm sure it's based on a film or TV episode I've seen before but can't place it.

When lived in north Wales I walked along the towpath of the world's highest canal aqueduct several times. Fabulous view & quite something to see how thin the iron is holding back all that water. One nutter of my acquaintance did a BASE jump off it.

It seems to be well hidden, but I stumbled on ‘Clarice’ on Amazon Prime, a promising series based on the character from ‘Silence of the Lambs’. Watched 2 episodes so far. Promising.

The potato bed: is this the ultimate sleep solution?
It requires copious pillows and duvets, and has gone viral on social media. Will this elaborate new sleeping set-up give you a cosy night’s rest – or just exacerbate your back pain?

I just watched the last episode of ‘Steal’ on Amazon Prime. I almost didn’t bother with it ‘cos I didn’t expect much from yet another heist. Turned out to be very good indeed. Recommended.
