Its true, I am one of millions of women who don't want to have children with Steven Bartlett.
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.
Two top podcasters have identified a global decline. The problem, they say, is women

Always fascinating when you take off your tinfoil hat, examine it, and see that it is actually just a perfectly normal hat full of evidence for the things you long suspected. You know, like hats usually are.

How is it that a church warden behind an interior design firm originally incorporated in the BVIs & tied to a Kazakh billionaire can make a £200,000 donation to Reform UK?

Source of funds not disclosed.

Farage has questions to answer.

The Electoral Commission must investigate.
Churchwarden linked to foreign-born billionaire is behind £200k Reform gift
The man whose firm made the donations will not discuss where the money came from, nor his ties to wealthy Farage allies who may not hold citizenship

Never mind the jobs you've had or the classes you took, tell me 5 things you can eat until you explode. #FoodSky

I once ate jamon serrano until my mouth literally bled.

I would do it again.
Never mind the jobs you've had or the classes you took, tell me 5 things you can eat until you explode.

Vegetable tempura
Sashimi
Roast potatoes
Flaked chocolate truffles
Malteasers

Not together though, that would be weird.
