I'm also still on the fence about how the Constitution only bans an individual serving more than two *consecutive* terms.

There's obviously a part of him that would leave office, have Bardella come in and immediately mess-up, and then Jupiter comes back as the saviour of the Republic.

A grim, ostensibly left-wing political entity but in reality a national chauvinist one, dominated by decaying, heavy industry and run by a cabal of feuding non-entities, Barnsley is a town in South Yorkshire.

I love Nobel Prize for Literature Day when all the culture correspondents for the broadsheets have to be sniffy that it's gone to a hugely successful African author that they've never heard of because they don't know about anything outside the Anglosphere.

However, critics are warning that the planned liberalisation of the alcohol licensing regime in England and Wales will erode local councils’ right to decide on opening hours, hand the drink industry unprecedented power and limit the ability of people affected by late night openings to object.

Rich people who don't really need the money famously pass up any opportunity to nevertheless still get more money.

I do have some respect for Pete Davidson just going "they offered me a shitload of cash and I took it" rather than pious drivel about "changing attitudes".

I have been criticised for being part of the Riyadh comedy festival. This is why I did it | Omid Djalili

The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.

I realise that whilst it is just about socially acceptable to chant “The News” to the bars of the BBC on the hour bulletin it isn’t socially acceptable to haphazardly do it in the launderette and I do apologise for that.

Because they take up a big amount of land next to a train station that's been mooted for redevelopment?

They're interesting enough as cooling towers go but this is one area where I just think the economic hit from keeping them around (and presumably maintaining them) just isn't worth it.

The plan is to turn it into a manufacturing and logistics hub and the towers take up a very significant amount of the space.

One of the reasons I’ve become a convert to “just scrap Grade II” is because of mission creep. What fundamentally is gained from keeping 8 cooling towers around? This isn’t like Bankside/Battersea Power Station where you can get an art gallery or a mall out of it.
