Holy Smokes, the Marsh Family has put out this parody song about J.D. Vance and not only is it catchy but it hits the nail on the head… “Anti Trump a few years ago,  Called him out as a ‘Hitler’ show.  Now you’re playing his sidekick,   Kissing Donald’s ring” I watched it 70 times.  @MarshSongs

JUST BEEN LEAKED NOTE BY HEAD OF TORY CAMPAIGN (the one standing in for the one on leave of absence courtesy of William Hill) MEMO ALL CANDIDATES … THE REALITY. 1. We cannot campaign on our record because nothing has improved since we took office. 2. The biggest change we made last Parliament was Brexit and we can’t campaign on that because the people who hated it hate it more and the people who liked it know we have ballsed it up. 3. We can’t campaign on our leaders because we have had five in eight years which suggests none of them were very good. 4. We can’t campaign on Labour being a risk to security and the economy because nobody can do worse than we have and anyway people seem to think @Keir_Starmer is pretty decent and he is for sure not Corbyn. 5. So LADS, all we have left is this … behave like we have lost, it’s all over bar the shouting, towel thrown in, and hope to God millions of people don’t bother to vote us out because they think somebody else will do it. I know it’s desperate and a bit anti-democratic but needs must. We’re shit and we know we are and so this is it!!! Fuck everything up. Crash the car. Make ourselves look even more unelectable and useless at campaigns. Willie Whitelaw used to talk about travelling the country stirring up apathy. That is all we have left. Do it. Talk up supermajority. I know it is meaningless but it is the only way to stop the superdefeat we all know we deserve. Cheers. Btw we’re having Sunday drinks 1pm. BYOB 🍾 🥂 ps new slogan. STAY AT HOME. DON’T VOTE. KEEP THE TORIES haha!!

A little reminder that the final chapter of The Last Kingdom drops on Netflix today. After 5 fabulous seasons, this show is the 14th most streamed show in US History. A brutal, funny, moving romp through medieval England. If you never did, jump back to the top and enjoy the lot

This is so interesting. And just shows the absurd inconsistencies. Just read final sentence in this adjudication, and ask is audience not able to do same with Gary Lineker?
Lineker is Freelance but here's the BBC reply to a complaint about Chris Packham, also Freelance

This appears to have caused a lot of outrage, but I will make this absolutely clear: I will NOT retract my Scotch egg comment. I stand by it 100%.
“Seriously I can just come out and say it? Call him a liar?” asks @JonathanPieNews, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed by comedian Tom Walker, in a satirical video about Britain’s Prime Minister. “God bless America.” nyti.ms/3306M3q

Word of the day is ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect unwanted attention from one thing by making a big deal of another.
