Live from the Oval Office

I look forward to a Trump-Putin meeting when Trump and Vance push back on the Russian dictator.

You don’t understand, somebody called JD Vance a hillbilly and looked down on him in middle school so now Ukrainians have to be slaughtered by Russia

You do start to appreciate why the Catholic Church’s stance for most of history was “you idiots are NOT allowed to form your own opinions”

Kyle Clifford has just been found guilty of raping his ex girlfriend before brutally murdering her and her sister with a crossbow, and stabbing her mother to death. Less than 24 hours before his attack he had been listening to an Andrew Tate podcast.

A pretty good investment by the UK!

•Sir Jim Ratcliffe coming up with the new old Trafford design•

Number one podcast episode in the country. Yes.

Coming soon: Jacob Hawley commentates on a game show for sexy people looking for love set on an Island
