I preferred Trump's McDonalds stunt.

Didn't Kemi genuinely work in MaccieDs to pay herself through uni?

A summer job as a sixth former. She became working class that way.

Stokes frankly doesn't deserve his place in the side on current form. He remains an excellent captain though. And Atkinson is well worth his place.

Now its fuel.

Next month, food.

By August - water.

And then in September Burnham becomes PM and it will all be fine again...

Sam Bankman-Fried, the one-time giant in cryptocurrencies currently in prison for fraud, has applied for a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Bankman-Fried was given a 25-year sentence after he was convicted of multiple federal charges related to FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange that he founded and led, and its related company Alameda Research.

Just two years into that sentence, the 34-year-old former billionaire has now filed an application for pardon after completion of sentence to the Department of Justice, according to online records.

Should Bankman-Fried ultimately receive a pardon, his crimes would essentially be forgiven under the law.

A case study in why resisting reasonable development entirely can come back to bite you (if the developer ploy here works)? Work in the system to resist where you can, don't just pretend the system doesn't exist because you don't like it.

Council rejects 100 homes.

Developer wins appeal for 75 homes.

Developer then submits another 65 homes on the remaining land.

End result? Residents could get 140 homes instead of the original 100. Now they claim they’re being “picked on”.

I did my shopping there this lunchtime. Must have just missed her ...

p.s. There were no black grapes. Should I register my complaint with her?

It's nice that M and S are back on board with the Tories.
