David Sullivan looks like a Naples mob boss who has ordered a bowl of fresh raw peas and ricotta before being garrotted in 1970, doesn’t he?

@KnutCrosswords @BayesGaussusw I’ve spent the past couple of months trying to finally learn how to do crosswords and anagrams are the things my brain least agrees with, but that is beautiful. Bravo!

Lovely uncle @darrenpjones policy brainstorm. Ministry for Amazing Bedtime Stories. The outlawing of vegetarian-related arguments at dinner parties. All British trains to have a single designated no headphones carriage. A legally enforceable be nice to everybody day once a month.

@HarrySword I am still laughing out loud at this.

Here John Travolta looks like an Albanian chef who has become successful via Instagram/TikTok due to a thin layered lamb flatbread concoction - taken to ludicrous grotesque extremity - and involving, in the final instance, a silver jug of ‘foaming’ goat butter poured from on high

@BrokenBennett I love all your car bits and bobs that pop up here amidst all the global doom and gloom!

In this photograph Nigel Farage and his partner look like leisure centre area managers arriving for an ‘unexpected spot check’ in a 1995 episode of The Brittas Empire, dropping Gordon right in the shit.

I’m not a devout Starmerite (tho I did think his haircut was a welcome addition to Westminster back in 2015) but this leadership challenge says more about low attention span politics than it does about his character. That said, I would love to have @darrenpjones as PM…

A shame to hear of the end of Gentleman’s Relish.

I wrote about it many moons ago for Vice: https://t.co/LKMcPIftfw

"I said opening up the Strait of Hormuz would be highly beneficial and would help facilitate a de-escalation of this conflict so that further negotiations can take place. What did I say, Roy?"
"You said 'Open the fuckin' strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell'."

Isabel Oakeshott stares out of her window in Dubai wishing she was back in the UK shouting at jars of marmalade in Waitrose.
