They’ve spent nearly two billion since Ferguson retired and they look further away than ever. It’s amazing.

RIP Stephen Luscombe. I saw Blancmange in 1983 and they were fabulous. One of the great singles bands driven by Stephen's keyboard wizardry. This remains one of my favourite TOTP performances.

At basins in airport toilet.
From one cubicle comes a battery of explosive bottom noises.
Child next to me gets fit of giggles and says to his dad, ‘Someone’s having an accident.’
Giggling infected everyone.

Inheritance tax was paid on just over 4% of estates last year.
I won’t have to pay it on my estate.
Odds are the overwhelming majority of people reading this won’t pay it.
I tell you who will though.

What an astonishing own goal by Badenoch. Especially after her own shadow Defence Secretary has called the comments "deeply disrespectful". Even Farage had to condemn them.
