'The next British Prime Minister will start by going to see the King, as is the tradition. Afterwards, he will go to meet Zelensky to pledge allegiance to him. Then, he will call Von der Leyen to confirm his vassalage to the EU. Finally, he will dine with hedge fund managers before coming on television to talk to us about the climate.'

Got a side effect from taking GLP1? 💉
Here's the answer - MOAR DRUGS 💉 💉
A new drug called apitegromab could help people on obesity jabs avoid unwanted muscle decline that's been linked to flat bums or "Ozempic butt"
Around a third of the weight loss from GLP-1 obesity jabs can come from muscle rather than fat
But in the trial with 102 adults, those who took apitegromab with their obesity medication maintained more muscle while still losing fat

A girl who was raped by two teenage boys has told the BBC that a judge's decision to spare them jail sentences was like a "rock straight in my face".
The girl, now 16, said: 'What was the point in putting me through that?"
The teenager was 15 when she was raped in an underpass by the River Avon in Fordingbridge, Hants.
The attorney general is to review the sentence given by the judge, who had said on Thursday he wanted to avoid "criminalising" the "very young" boys.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a public health emergency of international concern.
The agency said the outbreak in DR Congo's eastern Ituri province, which has seen around 246 suspected cases and 80 deaths reported, does not meet the criteria of a pandemic emergency.
But it warned it could potentially be "a much larger outbreak" than what is currently being detected and reported.

The Labour/Conservative duopoly has been shaken by this result. Years of awful decisions and lack of planning by both parties has left the country in such a state that the electorate are finally saying 'how much worse could it be' and voting for alternative, less 'mainstream' options
Reform have zero experience and Farage has a reputation as a backstabber
The Greens are, frankly, Gay Race Communists with little left of their old eco-agenda

One person has suffered life-threatening injuries after a car collided with "multiple pedestrians" in a town centre.
A red Vauxhall Astra hit "a number of people" in Market Place, Arnold, at about 01:10 BST on Saturday, Nottinghamshire Police said.
Information already put out that the driver is 'believed to be a white man'
Funny how skin colour is available so quickly if the alleged offender has pale skin, compared to those with a darker complexion 🤔🙄

Parents in Nottingham could face criminal and civil consequences if they fail to control their children amid a major police crackdown on anti-social behaviour in the city centre.
Nottinghamshire Police says children as young as 10 are already known to officers, with some repeatedly linked to disorder, intimidation and damage.
Police say the problems include harassing shop staff and gathering in large groups while wearing balaclavas.

I can't remember what I paid in 2007 😂, my memory says maybe £50 or £60, paying more than twice that this time. Not the best seats but about all I could afford when you take all the fees and taxes on top 😒
Yeah, there will likely be a skewing 'mature' demographic but they tend to indoctrinate their offspring and grandkids so should be a good range in the crowd 😂

yeah the first song on their first album and before Neil Peart was a member
Agree with what you say about Geddy possibly struggling, possibly at least he's not in his old screechy register any more
If I am honest I hadn't discovered Rush in 1981, i was put on to them on Presto, and Roll the Bones was my first album purchase but I love seeing that old ticket!
Hope the concert in Sept is fantastic, will you be seeing them in San Antonio again?

It’s the potholes, stupid. Despite the attempts of national politicians to pretend otherwise, the local elections should have been about potholes. The cause is blatant. Spending on filling potholes plummeted during the austerity decade after 2010. They tried to save money where they hoped it might not show in the short term: just a few more puddles in the road. Austerity would relax and they could catch up.
It did not relax and they could not catch up.
