It is a shame that the #Strictly judging is so often diluted by one judge who’s not and has never been a ballroom dancer or judge but there you go - it adds tension to the proceedings, I suppose.

Britain has set a new wind generation record.
"At 7:30pm on 11 November wind turbines...provided enough clean electricity to power more than 22 million homes"
"Wind was delivering 43.6% of all power on the system which means three quarters of Britain’s homes were effectively running on wind alone"

As everyone has said, an excellent call. It also makes me think Starmer should appoint Rylan Clark or Danny Dyer as UK ambassador to the US.
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

Train companies spend millions of pounds a year in arbitration fighting each other over who pays delay repay? Of course they do.
My water company has lied about dumping waste but the regulator isn't fining them? Of course not.

Karoline Leavitt lies about what the Democrats said in the video at the White House press briefing.
When Kaitlan Collin’s tells Leavitt “that’s not what they said’, Leavitt literally runs out of the room.

Serial liar Karoline Leavitt deliberately changed the words “unlawful orders”, which Democratic senators used, to “lawful orders”, thereby entirely changing it to the opposite of the truth.
They should sue her for billions of $, just as Trump has sued media outlets.

President Donald Trump has yet again suggested that his political opponents deserve to be executed. And yet again, he’s basing this argument on a rather novel legal theory and a dubious interpretation...
