This working class man from Blackpool says better than I can what people are feeling. Music often does that. It will make you laugh but make you bloody angry at the shower of shits in power Arise Sir Steve Canavan - the line about the bladder is genius

Needs to work on her presenting technique.
I’m not going to lie. Our final newsday was a bit short of students due to festive winding down. But the show must go on. All new recruits for the sofa were welcome. She starts full time in September 2036.
