Daily when I look at YouTube shorts I get sponsored ads asking me to take a test for ADHD. I block them, but they always come back in some new form. For me it seems some form of indoctrination, but that is only my opinion.

Another new Prime minister. :roll:

But, Starmer being replaced by Burnham is like being a kid in hospital in the 1970's
and being told that the Jimmy Savile visit has been cancelled, but then you hear
the sound of a didgeridoo coming down the corridor.

It’s not even £1, it’s around 86p on average 😂

You can’t even buy anything in Poundland for a pound now.

Today's appointment sees Angela Rayner handed the housing brief. Which is rather like appointing a seagull to supervise the chip shop.

Critics have been quick to point out the awkward optics. The minister now responsible for housing policy has herself faced years of scrutiny over property tax issues.

Putin sends a message to new PM Andy Burnham.

The 130-metre-long Neustrashimy, from the Russian Navy’s Baltic Fleet, was being tracked by a Royal Navy warship as it sailed close to the UK.

The Neustrashimy informed HMS Tyne of its intention to test-fire its guns and requested that the patrol vessel move to a safer distance, which it did.

The live-firing then took place in international waters, where warships are allowed to conduct drills, lasting half an hour.

A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesperson said the Navy monitored the exercise “throughout” its duration and “continues to track the vessel’s activity closely”.

Booked travel to England that has me arriving in London at 7:00 a.m. on the first of January and I'll be taking the early train to Leeds on the second to get there in time for the Everton game.

Question for those of you with experience there: Would it be worth my while to go to the Millwall game on the first (v Wolves)?
