She's actually being embalmed as she reads this.

Feel so sorry for the many sane Americans who every day have to stomach this diet of hideous cringe, humiliation and embarrassment.

Great idea! I might pass a resolution later that I am 50 pounds lighter than I actually am.

There is literally no Rooney angle BBC Sport will turn down. Currently their most important global sports story is him attending Hatton's funeral. He's the new Romesh Ranganathan of chronic over-exposure.

Radio 4's ship sailed years ago. Today has gone from agenda-setting to unbearable ill-informed gotcha journalism.

Not sure I've ever been more embarrassed of the BBC listening to them talk about Trump not getting a Nobel Prize as if it's Vinicius missing out the Balon D'Or

What a stunning New York Times picture of Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado.

Saying you deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize should be an automatic disqualification.

There really is no need to mention the orange prick. My French bulldog had more chance. You embolden his ludicrous posturing by even mentioning him.

A principled, dedicated woman wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

Not an orange prick in sight. Glorious.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Nick Robinson is paid £400,000 a year, he’s just displayed his complete and utter ignorance of Plaid Cymru a national political party that could well form the next Welsh government…

See #bbcqt have secured former Tufton Street IEA loon, Reeves-loathing, Telegraph frothing halfwit Annabel Denham in the 'independent journalist' seat this week. Why would anyone watch such discredited, compromised horse shit?
