Olly Murs on BBC Saturday Kitchen. Has he just got married?
I thought he would have told us.
He only mentioned it about 99 times.

Have you noticed how all the right wing commentators were saying, it’s disgusting that Labour are proposing to raise income tax.
These same commentators are now saying it’s disgusting that Labour are NOT proposing to raise income tax.

@BBCNews, as you are so concerned about the wrongful release of prisoners, can we have a full report on prisoners released under the Tories.
Which ones are still free?
Have any reoffended?
What were their crimes, what is their ethnicity?
Are any related to Tory MPs?

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

A big congratulations to the American fans at the Ryder Cup! Just as more and more foreign tourists were voicing their concerns about travelling to the US because it was becoming more unwelcoming, more unfriendly, and even downright nasty to foreigners, you have gone and proved them right.
