How is Farage able to have all these side gigs? I assumed UK MPs had similar constraints as our MPs.

In practice, MPs are allowed 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc jobs as long as they don’t conflict with their duties.

Since Farage isn’t in Govt, and the people who elected him in Clacton don’t seem to want to recall him, he continues his grifting ways unabated.

The reality for a guy like Farage, is that its much more lucrative to remain out of Govt but in the media spotlight. If he was in Govt his outside activities would be curtailed.

They should let this group board first. “Any family needing to smuggle a dead relative on to a plane, you are first to board” then prosecute them along the jetbridge before they ever make it onto the plane.

i read this more of a Happy Thoughts entry, not the WTF thread. Such kindness!

German embassy has a sense of humour over this incident.

The German embassy in London couldn’t resist a pun-filled post about the fluffy new mascots. “50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning,” it posted on X. “After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20mins milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.”

Runaway sheep?

Sounds like they were on the lamb.

I shared the story with my kids on WhatsApp. The puns were plentiful but generally baaaad.

Wether or not due to the latest advertising, they flocked to the store. They were disappointed, feeling that the wool had been pulled over their eyes and that the sales weren’t much chop (although some racked up a few deals). They left in disgust, muttoning loudly to themselves.
