If you asked me to name the very last three people in Britain I wanted to give a lifelong seat in Parliament to I’d have got pretty close to the Tory nomination list. Uncannily, predictably terrible.
Lib Dems announce 5 peers including ex-MP Sarah Teather, Tories announce 3 including Olympic swimmer/ women's rights activist Sharon Davies, historian Simon Heffer and former cabinet minister John Redwood. Reform UK don't get any.

The creativity of the UK press’s multi-millionaire budget sob stories really is something.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

I have some thoughts on Asma al-Assad returning to London.
1. She can fuck off.
2. She can fuck off some more.
3. And I’ve given this one a great deal of thought, she could fuck right off into the sun.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
