Netanyahu on Britain: You might call Britain the "Islamic Republic of Britain." Someone said that the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain. We’re making sure there won’t be another one—you know, in Iran.

Farage wanted this by-election to draw a line under the controversy. Instead, the stench of sleaze is sticking to him and Reform UK. Recent political history tells us that once a party gains that reputation, it can be extremely difficult to shake. Our latest polling showed 60% of voters think he is sleazy and just 29% don't. Out of over 10,000 people polled, Farage scored worse than every other leader tested. Winning comfortably in his own political stronghold doesn’t make the questions disappear and now he’s heading back to Westminster, where the investigation can resume.

A man with a bin on his head got over 26% of the vote against Nigel Farage. No wonder he was a no show at the count - avoiding a supposed ‘plot’ to disrupt the event. Clacton makes nothing better for Farage. Still lots of questions on financial sleaze to answer.

The Face of Egypt’s Greatest Pharaoh Has Finally Been Revealed… After 3,000 Years For more than three thousand years, the real face of Pharaoh Ramesses II remained hidden behind layers of linen, dust, and mystery. The ruler who once commanded armies, built colossal temples, and declared himself chosen by the gods slowly became nothing more than a silent mummy resting in darkness. His skin dried by time, his body frozen in eternity… yet his legend never died. But now, modern forensic science has done something almost unbelievable. Using advanced reconstruction technology, experts have brought the face of the mighty king back to life. And what they uncovered is haunting. The recreated face shows an elderly man marked by power and experience — sharp eyes, strong features, and the expression of someone who witnessed both glory and war. This was the man who stood behind the gigantic temples of Abu Simbel and led Egypt during the legendary Battle of Kadesh. For the first time in centuries, people can look directly into the face of the Pharaoh once feared across the ancient world. What makes this even more chilling is the feeling it leaves behind. Looking at the reconstruction no longer feels like studying history. It feels like staring into the eyes of someone who once truly lived… someone who breathed, ruled, and believed he would become immortal. And perhaps, in a strange way, he did.

Mud: Rocket (1974). '74 really was the Year of Mud; two No.1s in the UK (Tiger Feet and Lonely This Christmas bookending the year), a No.2 with The Cat Crept In, and this slightly forgotten one. Rocket was written by the powerhouse duo of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman (sometimes referred to as Chinnichap) as a fun and cheesy rock 'n' roll / glam mashup, with Les Gray in full Elvis impersonator mode. It only made it to No. 6, but it's a solid foot stomper and a real reminder how the early '70s rock and roll revival was having an impact on a range of acts.
