Have the Daily Star carved a Rachel Pumpkin to see if it beats the Liz Truss lettuce on longevity?

My current dilemma is: will Rachel Reeves still be Chancellor by the time I do my show? I’ve got at least 3 jokes about her which I’d hate to lose…

Last night I didn't dream I had gone to Manderley.

I didn't dream of San Pedro either.

I dreamt I had forgotten to put the green garden bin out for the last garden waste collection this year & now the triffids were growing in the bin.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."
