Her exit barney with Bet was iconic, but it's never been the same since someone pointed out that it was probably filmed without Julie and Eva being in the same room!

Eva's wearing massive sunglasses to stop the glare from the government-ordered chemtrails 🤡

Cat treats on salary sacrifice.

Bean counters will be the end of us all. Do they not realise that a degree in, say, German and History is not composed of bespoke modules? The 'cost' of having 8 students on such a degree is negligible compared to the loss of those students' fees.

The seat has form with 'parachuted candidates' (Shaun Woodward), so I'm not sure the local party would necessarily fight against it. Woodward ended up being pretty popular locally, too.

Yes, I'm not arguing that Burnham would definitely win the seat, but he's a popular figure in the urban Liverpool-Manchester belt and a seat like STHSW makes more sense than running off to Norwich, or even trying to win in somewhere like Bolton or Oldham. Arguably, Labour would have won R&H with him

The most obvious route for Burnham would be in the St Helens South and Whiston seat. He was educated in the borough and the incumbent MP is 78 and has a nearly 12,000 majority.
