Sure there's a gag in here somewhere about a Diss track
Every mainline station between London and Norwich has step-free access – except one. Diss, which serves more than 600,000 people a year.

I think this constant push for immigrants to feel & act ‘grateful’ is so insidious. Let’s change the narrative. Migration is a normal part of human behaviour, not a charity case.

You wait months for an incoherent speech on the economy, and then two come along in the same morning! My SKETCH of Rachel Reeves vs Kemi Badenoch vs Reality.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.
Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

Hodgson, the agent, was allegedly off-duty, intoxicated, and armed with a handgun while at a restaurant in the Shoreline Village in Long Beach. Hodgson allegedly entered the women’s restroom, where he approached a female who observed his handgun and firearm magazine.

I would like to recommend a fantastic way for parents to turn a mid-life crisis into cultural exchange across the generations
The lifetime mixtape (as a spotify playlist)
The rules are
- choose one song per year
- but only one song per artist
- you can phone a friend for the last decade or so
