Good morning.

Seconded.
guess what his great insight was? Ask it a stupid question and you'll get a stupid answer, ask it a smart question and you'll get a smarter answer.

This is for sky, if they're looking in.
Mr gilsey spent his formative years in Berwick and I found a 1958 tourist brochure among his junk in the loft, thought sky might find the cover amusing.

Good morning.


Someone's crunched the numbers and unsurprisingly confirms that we're right, Labour's strategists are idiots.

Nowhere near as embarrassing as Johnson.

Johnson wrote on X:

The murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy, and a sign of the utter desperation and cowardice of those who could not defeat him in argument.

Grimsby’s Kieran Green has a chat:

We went 2-0 up and everyone was probably a bit surprised to be in that situation. I know they’ve come back but we’d have took 2-2 going into the death. Them getting the equaliser at the end, we’re the team winning at that point because we’d have took that. Before ...
