In 13 months, I've had heart attacks, a bypass op, published a memoir, earnt an NTA, Attitude award, and honorary degree, closed countless gigs and kept Chasing while living with Parkinson's.

Once walked into a roughish pub in Halifax. Someone loudly shouted "who ordered a taxi?". I ignored him as I was desperate for a piss. When I returned and ordered a drink, he'd been thrown out by an angry and apologetic landlord. This was pre chase. GB News continues to shame.
Channel 4 should visit any British pub and they’d hear much worse. What a joke of an “investigation”. They report off the cuff private jokes like “oh we spent double that” (referring to the campaign spending limit). And the pride progress flag is degenerate and the police
