Palmerston served for four years as chief mouser to the foreign office, from 2016 to 2020, lasting despite multiple public spats with chief mouser to the Cabinet, Larry.

He retired in 2020, but as a selfless public servant agreed to rejoin the service for a final posting in Bermuda in 2025. 🫑

A billboard advert that says "Men, why are you" and a tube train covering the rest of the words. 

The advert is for testosterone supplements for men, though that isn't clear in the photo but would be familiar to anyone who uses the tube at the moment.

Good question, little billboard

I had a pistachio soufflΓ© and a big glass of rose. I looked at the news and I’m glad I did. Cheers.

This image, viewed millions of times on Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the image is AI-generated and was first posted on instagram by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

David Walliams dropped from Waterstones Children's Book Festival Author has strongly denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour which emerged last week.

While it's a good thing that the dominos are dropping, it's rage-inducing that we had to wait so long for that first one to go before the rest fell in line. This has all been known for so long. Nothing has actually changed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah that's a nice worst kept secret in publishing you have there, sure would be a shame if it was revealed just before Christmas

It is, to be fair. The investigation has been going on for a very long time

Exclusive: David Walliams dropped by publisher over inappropriate behaviour towards women Telegraph investigation into best-selling children’s author uncovers claims that he β€˜harassed’ junior female employees at Harper Collins

Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence
