Very sad to hear this. As a long-term supporter it's a blow but Origin Story remains the best story telling around so I will continue to enjoy your dry wit alongside Ian's cursing

very good point,

I wonder how this kind of nonsense gets passed an editor. I suppose because it's Gove, but this is just a string of sentences that have no basis in reality or even in theory. They so random and confected. Does an editor not say... Go back and do it again properly this time?

sadly this is the reason we can't easily rejoin the EU. Right wing press and other parties will always deploy this betrayal narrative. Yes Starmer would gain considerable support for closer EU ties from many people, but the EU cannot rely on a trusted partnership when this opposition remains

brilliant telling of the story. How you managed to pull off a little humour into what is largely a horrific tragedy is testament to you both as great presenters.

agreed 👍

It doesn't even make sense in it's own terms. It suggests two of the most untrustworthy actors in modern history as some kind of strategic geniuses when we know they are utter narcissistic chancers. Nonsense and typical of this boring idiot

Whole series has been fascinating, for the reframing of UK events in the context of Russian influence and relationships over the last decade. Funny how media organisations are far more interested in a politicians linked-in errors than a genuine political scandal underpinning everything

It is an atrocious article and embarrassing that this is all they could find. It's trivial, insignificant and says far more about the people writing the article than anything about her

Look forward to seeing the tattoo... brilliantly written Marie. Maybe there is a chinese character version of it that takes up less space

agreed, a brilliant successful political business model.

You would think they have to wouldn't they. Given the circumstances. I hope they do and perhaps one of the better previous contestants. They are many interesting women who have gone on to great things afterwards and this would give them a perfect platform to showcase women chefs

Again, this idea that somehow these people are victims of something, whilst on the TV in thousand pound togs, preaching to people that they too are victims

thanks for following
