Trump's a fucking demented moron.

Ant appear to have forgotten that he's a criminal as well. Not sure how considering he spent four months behind bars.

IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake Β£345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays.

The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published - but our reporting at the time sets it out…

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: β€˜We earn Β£345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Couldn't agree more!

My complaint got rolled into yours as the lead complainant by IPSO. Section 16 just made my brain hurt. IPSO seem relatively toothless.

Dirty Business review – if this doesn’t incite righteous anger over our filthy water then nothing will Based on the true story of amateur sleuths appalled at the dumping of sewage in our rivers, this drama starring David Thewlis is a blast of controlled fury – and could become the next Mr Bates vs the ...

Renationalise the water industry. Labour have had 18 months to get a handle on this and it's nowhere near.

What the fuck is going on at the BBC? Since when were they in the business of actively trying to overthrow a democratically elected government where they have a 160+ majority, MPs are behind the PM and there's over three years until a general election.

It's bonkers.

Trump said they destoyed Iran's nuclear capability after the last strike.

So he's either lying and/or it's the latest attempt at a distraction from not releasing the Epstein files as required.

Gorton and Denton are nowhere near Salford. Opposite side of Greater Manchester.

To a certain extent those are priced in anyway as there has to be a by-election. Quitting as mayor to run for MP adds an additional unnecessary election across all of Greater Manchester. Not just one constituency seat.

I can see the logic. They've cancelled Local Government elections in places that are due to get reorganised as it would be a waste of taxpayers money.

Same applies to a Mayoral election in Manchester. It'd cause a day shutdown in local government, schools to close as they'd be polling stations etc.
