					I think the producers of the show have really missed a trick with the evictions.  Instead of booing or cheering when someone is evicted there should be deadly silenced followed by a single gunshot.  I think that would give the rest of the housemates a few sleepless nights.

Fifteen people including former Conservative MP Craig Williams have been charged with betting offences by the Gambling Commission. The investigation was launched last year following bets placed on the timing of the 2024 general election.
The commission said the investigation focused on individuals "suspected of using confidential information - specifically advance knowledge of the proposed election date - to gain an unfair advantage in betting markets".
Before the election was called, Williams was the MP for Montgomeryshire and an aide to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The group of those charged includes Russell George, a Member of the Senedd, who was suspended from the Welsh Conservative group after he was charged. Others charged include Laura Saunders, the former Conservative parliamentary candidate in Bristol North West, and her partner Anthony Lee, a former director of campaigning for the Conservatives; Thomas James, the director of the Welsh Conservatives and Nick Mason, a former chief data officer for the party.

					That's quite a roll call of senior level Welsh Conservatives. Like a bunch of TV Cockney wide boys, I'll have some of that, etc.
Doubtless Reform will be reminding Kipper-Tory voters of this.

A former MP, who was the first to be evicted from the current series of Celebrity Big Brother, has told the BBC he was paid "six figures" for taking part in the show.
[...]
Sir Michael [Fabricant] would not confirm the exact amount he was paid to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, saying he was contractually obliged not to reveal the figure.
He added he hoped that drag performer Danny Beard would win, but that he was "not that friendly" with TV presenter Trisha Goddard or EastEnders actor Patsy Palmer while in the house.

					Robert Jenrick here, running for election in Alabama. What does he want to happen? We wish each other Happy Easter lots of times, or dig up some obscure Christian festivals, just so the greetings outnumber the darky religious days?

					I had two adults wish me 'Happy Easter' yesterday. It isn’t a mini Chrismas with chocolate instead of a Scaletrix set.* Perhaps Jenrick learns his Christian culture from soulless cosmopolitan corporate ad agencies.
congrats to robert jenrick on advancing to “bill o’reilly circa 2006” wingnuttery

					Honest Bob's "Judaeo" bit handily ignores the "no exceptions" expulsion between Edward 1 and Oliver Cromwell.

					He also ignores the reality of the messages, as observed, the fact of a four day bank holiday, the meaning of his bile and division in the context of a supposedly Christian faith, and the fact his example relates, inaccurately, to ONE example of supposed End Of Civilization bla bla bla.
An absolutely cynical, revolting, ungodly specimen.
