On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, six geese-a-laying, FIVE GOLD RINGS, four colly birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Goose, colly bird, hen, turtle dove, partridge and pear omelette. Yum.

Asked by Sky News whether his fellow Reform MP previously being jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend, and then subsequently lying to voters about it, should be grounds for his expulsion from the party, Nigel Farage replies that "I've got a million followers on TikTok" and storms off

Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

I asked my dad why he has such a high chilly tolerance & he told me when he was a kid they used to make him eat a chilly as punishment if he used bad words & at some point he realized he really liked chillies & so would look up bad words so he'd get more and this is why children cannot be defeated
