Reform is just three Tories in a trenchcoat asking ChatGPT to summarise Mein Kampf.

Nigel Farage welcomes the experience Nadhim Zahawi brings to Reform. Zahawi previously made tax payers pay to heat his stables and 'accidentally' paid millions less in tax than he should have. That experience?

My weirdest Christmas: I was 11 and braced for tension. Then I found my parents and step-parents in bed together
It was our first joint family Christmas, and I watched fearfully as my mum walked into the kitchen she had once called hers. The next 48 hours were full of surprises

Those grey misty days between Christmas and New Year. A time when you forget which day is which and the hardest choice is which leftovers to eat. There's no name for it in the UK, though someone described it as Betwixtmas. The Norwegians call it Romjul or Mellomjul apparently. I like that.

Terrifying, not least because the three laboratories that were able to test were all closed down by 2021 for reasons of expense. So either it was Tories cutting at public services or failed private enterprise. Both are unacceptable when the public are at risk. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Black and white photo of a shorthaired tuxedo tabby kitten on a floor next to a black, old fashioned candlestick type telephone. The kitten is sitting up on its haunches with its paws against the mouthpiece, peering into it curiously. Another kitten can be seen a couple feet away, blurry but you can see its sleeping in the upright loaf position.
