Take a wild guess as to who is being referred to here. Yeah, you're probably right.

It would be easy to reposition this headline as 'Billionaire author vows to keep interfering with Scottish democracy', which doesn't look too pretty.

This 'The Bear'-esque dining experience puts you in the center of the kitchen chaos

At Speakeasy Society's 'Family Meal,' curse words are thrown, recipes are slandered and it all makes for fun, irresistible drama.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

We watched Goldeneye at the cinema this week and the bad guy was all ‘set off an EMP, erase the economy, erase debts, erase credit ratings’ and we both came out afterwards thinking ‘they should have heard him out, this had legs today’.

Another successful day in the office because 1) went to the shop nearby that sells the dates I like and 2) got a copy of The Stylist on the tube home. #LondonCommuterWins

These people need to leave the Green Party and go to where their views are welcome, like Labour or Reform.

‘Gender critical’ bigots have set themselves up outside the Green Party Conference to harass trans-inclusive people arriving at conference.

They’re presenting themselves as poor put-upon women “being silenced” while aggressively lobbying for trans-exclusion! 🤮

A bunch of ‘gender critical’ transphobes - including Green Party Peer - Jenny Jones, outside Green Party Conference.

The Times finds it "unacceptable" that people who came here legally in 2021 and have been living and working here since should allowed to stay.

The sad decline of a once great newspaper into ignorant xenophobia and casual racism

There is a more pressing issue. Ministers must ensure that the vast numbers of immigrants who arrived in the so-called Boriswave of 2020-21 are not automatically absorbed into the permanent population. They are about to cross the the five-year threshold into ILR, yet Labour continues to dither. Ms Mahmood must freeze the status of this huge cohort while a new residency regime is finalised. A million or more extra permanent residents in these islands, let in on the nod, is simply unacceptable. Finally, the home secretary must acquaint herself, and the public, with an accurate estimate of the actual number of foreign nationals living here, what taxes they pay and what services they consume. Without hard data, all the political parties are fumbling around in the dark.
