Trying to find best (slightly late) Thanksgiving offering for a Sunday lunch on 30th November, central or west London. Any recommendations much appreciated.

Why would a Jamaican speak “broken English”?

Zohran Kwame Mamdani's Game Over Greed initiative: "The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard, and the vast majority of New Yorkers won’t be able to see it. The FIFA World Cup is coming to New York City next year. It’s an incredible opportunity for economic growth and community spirit in our city — but only if working-class New Yorkers can actually attend the matches. "This year, for the first time, FIFA is using dynamic pricing for ticket sales. They can raise prices in real time, depending on how much profit they think they can make off of us. Those tickets can then be resold on an official FIFA platform with NO price cap—yet another method of gatekeeping the game. And to make matters worse, unlike for the past three World Cups, there are no seats set aside for residents."

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has called on FIFA to scrap dynamic ticket pricing at the World Cup, place a cap on resale prices, and make 15% of tickets available to local residents at a discounted rate, through a "Game Over Greed" initiative.

I’m also gonna faint with hunger because I can’t decide what I want to eat… 😢 🤪😂

Feel like World politics is damaging my brain. Can’t focus, trying to process anything more than one task at a time is totally overwhelming. Struggling to start or complete minor logistical tasks…

Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican'

Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping.

Here, he tells us his story.

Hello to any Handbrake Off listeners, please send any questions in for the show tomorrow, be they football, film (ha!), music (although I am not sure that Adrian is on to field them) or anything. But football might be the preferred option.

Cheers! x

"It's not a humanitarian disaster in the Middle East. It is a genocide. It is a genocide supported by this govt"

Tony Kearns at the TUC conference on another delegate calling what's happening in Gaza 'a humanitarian disaster'. Spot on Tony.

Why do clubs always sack their manager right before we play them?

Had to phone ticket office

I never got one

Imagine having the Statue of Liberty on your bio and not knowing what’s written on the pedestal…

We’ve gone Eurostar - lunch in Paris - SNCF to Biarritz - beachdrinks - sleep - coach to Bilbao.

No cabins left. Would have to sleep two nights in a seat…

Just an hour an eight minutes so far…

Did you read the email? Supposed to click and fill out details. I didn’t. Been on hold for ages…

Faintly repressed sexual tension…

Don’t buy the Sun

Could one argue the opposite? Looking at how Ox, Nketiah, Balogun, Willock and Smith-Rowe performed we got really good prices for them…

3. Refusing to introduce Proportional Representation. Under our First Past The Post system, a party with a minority of the vote can achieve a huge majority (as Starmer did with 34%). There is no way Farage could become Prime Minister under a PR system. Only under FPTP.

Find this weirdly narcissistic. At no point does it say strive to be more of a two beers + puppy weekend person yourself. If you know you’re a puppysitter - make a change, try and have a beer. If you’re a boozehound, maybe offer to sit an actual one.

Yoov stil failed in yer bio stated aims. Butt garantee de reeson evrywon h8s yoo isnae aboot wevver u r positiv or not. Itz becuz yoo ar a pathetik twatt.

Typical cowardly anonymous racist. Parochial muppet who doesn’t even have the courage of their own convictions. Grim.

Important reminder before asking if this is good advice

Nigel Farage, who uses a private company to deliberately reduce his tax bill on non-parliamentary income from 40% to 25%, says Angela Rayner mistakenly paying less tax "screams entitlement".

“Hoping to be more positive”

It’s not that your negative per se...
It’s more that you’re a whiny twat.

Farage Haw-Hawing it up in the USA thinks he can attack Britain as much as he likes. With “our” PM Keith Starmzy literally and metaphorically on his knees at crotch height in front of Mango Mussolini, 0Nige is very probably right.
