@MatthewLumby "What's a weekend?" RIP Maggie.

Oh Dame Maggie. What a woman. And gone just before a weekend…

'This is the civil service pouring a large dose of caution on the way in which they are doing so' The Conservatives claim Labour's plans will put up taxes by £2,000 but chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman told #BBCBreakfast about a letter saying it 'should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service' bbc.co.uk/news/live/worl…

Some of the world's big powers, by government type: USA - presidential republic France - semi-presidential republic Russia - fascist dictatorship China - communist dictatorship Japan - constitutional monarchy Saudi Arabia - absolute monarchy UK - pensioner dictatorship

So with one raised eyebrow I note a Newsnight political journalist on a rival podcast telling a story about me borrowing (newly purchased, never worn before) underwear because of an unexpected overnight stay on the election campaign. I remain grateful. But given we are now in the business of disclosing parts of this story, in return I can reveal they were Y-fronts: and have a picture of them. This is what he had purchased. Remember this image when you next see him on telly.

The moment we stopped watching Bridgerton Let us explain ... Things were going great and we were really getting into Season 3. That is until we watched this scene unfold before our eyes ....

Hearing Labour narrowly on top (by a matter of thousands) and Conservatives asking for a recount….

Judging by the comments, I obviously need to continue this story: 1/15

Tonight we are going out to celebrate one of my best friends—the catch—all 20 of us will be dressed up as an elementary school photo of him. Planned by his wife.

The internet tracked down the writers of a song from a 1998 X Files episode that people have apparently been trying to figure out SINCE 1998 and this is the only thing the internet should ever be used for, because it’s glorious.

Ryan Gosling as geese. A thread.

The nicest thing to happen all year has just happened to me. I am not sure it will be relevant to anyone else. But here it is regardless.

@thecarolemalone You need to brush up on your understanding of the UK's constitutional arrangements before making a fool of yourself again. England has an established Church and he is in the HoL.

How dare the Archbishop of Canterbury yet again try to Interfere with Gov policy. He did it with Brexit. Now he’s trying to tank the Illegal Immigration bill slating it as “ immoral” . The man needs to butt out of politics express.co.uk/comment/expres…

@Mike_Channon Flashdance!

As the King pulls on the Royal welding glove, the significance can't be lost on the congregation ...

If you think not spending £150m on the #coronation    means that money will be spent on your causes, you have not paid attention to this government, which delights in being cruel. The issue is not the lack of money, it's that the government won't spent on those causes.
