This is just next level insanity.

In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate.

There was just one rather significant problem.

She had sadly died in July 2024.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

Good news! The temporary pause on #HbA1c testing at Broomfield Hospital has been lifted, and testing has resumed at Mid #Essex blood testing centres. New lab equipment ensures more accurate results. If you need a repeat test, your GP will contact you soon.

Why are so few people talking about this?

Either they don’t know, or they’re pretending not to know

…and I don’t know which is worse.

The suit exchange should go down in history showing how brilliantly sharp and funny Zelensky is and how he put Vance down (all in his second language).

Vance: Why don’t you wear a suit? You never wear a suit.

Zelensky: When the war is over I’ll wear one. Maybe one like yours or maybe a better one.

An Attorney General prioritising fidelity to law and principle, instead of chasing cheap headlines with bogus and exploitative legal applications, is a welcome change.
