Look at that bling uniform though. If he was still kicking Trump would totally demand his own uniform, but with more gold on it than Galtieri's.
The world is terrible right now so here's a cuddle puddle of ring-tailed lemurs to soothe you.
I took Loki to the vet nurse for his 6 monthly health check today. Nurse: "Are we neutered?" Me: "Well, he is, but it's not really a we thing."
10 in 1? Quick straw poll. What does the 10th ingredient do to you? Wrong answers only.
Is she aware of (a) who tried to take down Stalingrad or (b) what happened to them when they tried?
I'm at the Download Festival. Some of you may recall there was a controversy about toilet facilities last year so here are the updated toilet rules for 2026.
I see my Labour MP is reading the room after the EHRC Code of Practice just dropped.
Oh God this was in a Sky News article about Streeting and now I want to unlearn how to read.
Oh, I had an interaction with her the other day. Apparently the ongoing job losses in higher education are just not a priority for her.
Two weeks to go until the Senedd election. Impressive how even on their own garden boards Propel make themselves look like they're demanding money with menaces.
This is something I wasn't expecting to see in Cardiff today. A car protest calling for the Shah to be reinstalled in Iran.

They were pretty heavily outnumbered by counter-protesters in Cardiff yesterday. Admittedly the GC side grew a bit later on, but only when trains arrived bringing in reinforcements from other areas.
While I don't think Wes Streeting is doing a good job, I also don't think the UK's health secretary would cut off a dead raccoon's penis. We really are two cultures divided by a common language.
