The saying “beauty is only skin deep” seems fitting
Brigitte Bardot's 30 years of sympathy for the far right
"Convicted five times for racist remarks, the actress – whose foundation announced her death on Sunday, December 28 – remained one of the only French celebrities to openly embrace far-right views."

This is hilarious...remember when this story would have been The Sun's headline "Barmy Brussels Bureaucrats demand we stop calling Penguin bars 'chocolate'"

Penguin and Club bars can no longer be described as chocolate
The rising cost of cocoa has led to the manufacturers changing their recipe.

✨ On this day 68 years ago (4 October), the Soviet Union launched #Sputnik 1: the world’s first artificial satellite. Orbiting Earth approx. every 98 minutes, it marked a pivotal moment in the Space Race and a defining chapter in the history of Jodrell Bank.

This is an important point. Welfare spending is only marginally up on 2010 levels and almost entirely down to the pensions triple lock. Make sure you rebut any claims you see that welfare spend is out of control.
Welfare spending is 10.8% as a proportion of GDP and was 10% in 2001. (And the increase is nearly all pensions). Apparently it's now out of control. It's just absolutely bog standard right wing paper talking points.
