Enjoyed chatting to Ben McDermott about his switch to being a freelance franchise cricketer.

He hasn’t played for Australia for 2 years but a recent call up to their T20 squad vs India has revived his hopes.

He is set to bat 4-5 for ‘Canes in the BBL

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Team captains Victoria Pendleton and Andy Zaltzman lead a team of celebrities each week in a series of ice based challenges and all face off at the end of the night in the BBC Bonspiel with the winners taking home the Golden Broom.

"There is no Labour Liz Truss"

Oh great, Richard Burgon is crying now, well done
The top analysis of today's Labour news from Liz Truss. She believes that the "Labour Illuminati" & "the British deep state" will control post-Starmer Labour and crown first Rayner & then Streeting. And signs off with the observation: "There is no Labour Liz Truss."
