I am expecting Parkrun to be very quiet this weekend.

I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years.

When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history.

Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵

[Fred Sirieix @fredsirieix1]

I spoke at length and extensively with Nigel Farage for 3 weeks while in the jungle. I wanted to make my own mind up about him and his views. Conclusion is simple. He was very good at washing the dishes in the river but when it comes to politics he has no plan and no substance

Can Mr Muscle Drain Foamer be used in to clear the pipes of a kitchen dishwasher? @SCJohnson 🫧

Not once has Harry said "faithfuls". He only says "Fatefuls" and I think he thinks that's what they're called.

Searched Mr Q, hoping they'd sell snooker and pool cues. Alas, more gambling. Sigh. #TheMasters

[James @JRBatch]

Not much better in sport than watching a 147 in the snooker. Superb. #masterssnooker

[James @JRBatch]

@jamesmountford0 Seeing off (walking there) now. Definitely going ahead?!

On my way to this whilst listening to @RadioX wondering when @Johnnyvaughan & @WoodmanGav will do a similar live event?! Time to cash in team! Great shows all round #thekickabout

[The Beatles @thebeatles]

The official music video for ‘Now And Then’ is live on YouTube directed by Peter Jackson.
https://t.co/sNQz6t4n32

He describes finding “a collection of unseen outtakes in the vault, where the Beatles are relaxed, funny and rather candid. We wove humour into some footage shot in 2023. The result is pretty nutty and provided the video with much needed balance between the sad and the funny.

I realised we needed the imagination of every viewer to create their own personal moment of farewell to The Beatles"

Jackson concludes by saying he has “genuine pride” in the finished piece, his first ever music video “and I’ll cherish that for years to come”.
