Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

So impressed with my friends' hosting for NYE 2025 - they made sure most of the stuff they served was completely #vegan (food AND drink inc cocktail ingredients!), and put a lot of thought into making us feel as looked after as possible! Bonus points for their adorable Penguin Bao & dim sum display!
Sainsbury's Ice Ice Bao-by Penguins Steamed buns filled with mixed vegetables and decorated with coloured dough pieces, filled with sweet and savoury char siu flavoured mushrooms and vegetables in handcrafted and decorated soft fluffy bao buns - our coolest Christmas snack!
