For over a decade, successive UK governments have promised to fix how we pay for social care, and every attempt has stalled. ➡️ Watch Page 94, the Private Eye podcast: youtu.be/KaNDIIdJk-s

I think the weirdest thing about Trump’s lot is their conviction that they are the jocks and the cool kids, when they are so not the jocks and the cool kids.

I like the caption “the final five”, as if the toys had to fight it out in some dystopian Hunger Games scenario and Hamble was horribly slaughtered.

Police believe the thieves were actually after copies of HOBBE’S FOLLY, the sensational and hotly-anticipated ghost story to be released in just a few week’s time. “Oh well, this one will do for loo paper and keeping the table legs steady while we wait”, a gang member told me exclusively.

This is in the next Tommy Wildeblood book - the practice was cited as *fact* by the senior police officer in charge of the investigation into the brutal murders of several gay men in the late 1980s.

Adding to the 1066 discourse by pointing out that in your actual Hastings, Norman Road is the one with the chi-chi restaurants, galleries and arts cinema on it, and Saxon Street is the one where they took away the phone box because of the guy selling heroin from it.

I quite like them being called "London's Metropolitan Police". It makes them sound like they're a bit well-groomed and louche, doused in Tom Ford, wear their uniforms better than those grunts in the other forces.

Please please please can we have a moratorium on the phrase "breaks his silence"? It's been five days, two of which he was in custody for. He's hardly June and Jennifer Gibbons.
