Sir Tim spoke to Robert Peston last night about the topic on his ITV show. When asked if he'd like to have machines in his bars, he said, 'we've got a robot Robert, in our bars.' Peston was briefly intrigued, asking 'which one? 'Before Sir Tim's later reveals that he was talking about his chain's self-service coffee machines,' he said.' Punters wanting a pint were left waiting "for five minutes," according to He, while bar employees served hot beverages. Asked when Britons would see a robot pulling an actual pint, the pub chain boss added: 'We've got a couple of those already, but they are related to me!' Peston, ITV's political editor, had initially questioned the businessman: "Now we're living in the age of artificial intelligence, and I'm curious if you've seen the extraordinary things physical robots can do right now." Could you ever envisage robots in your pubs?'

HARDCASTLE (EPHRAIM): Recovering Kate, who was unable to attend a Guinness toast on St Patrick's Day, ensured her favorite troops were well stocked at her expense on St Patrick's Day. She poured £2,000 behind the regimental bar at Aldershot for a party after the traditional parade, to their delight. According to my bacus, the thirsty troopers were treated to at least 700 pints of the black stuff at no cost. And did she specify that regimental mascot Seamus, the Irish wolfhound, should be treated to a jumbo bone?

SARAH VINE (Pictured: left and right), a trans footballer for the South Yorkshire-based Rossington Main Ladies, who quit her team after rivals were 'terrified' by her physical strength on the field, have refused to participate against her, I read about Francesca Needham (left and right). According to Ms Needham's 'blocking a shot, the crisis was triggered by a player suffering an injured knee when 'blocking a shot.' She is now threatening to sue, arguing that the boycott'represents a violation of a code of conduct regarding diversity and inclusion,' and that she has 'diligently fulfilled every single one of the Football Association's (FA) requirements to play.' I don't doubt that she has. However, the suggestion that this situation has anything to do with discrimination is untrue. Male puberty is irreversible. Well, hormone blockers will work, but you will not undo the fact that exercise, muscle mass, stamina, and speed brought about by the process.

DAN WOOTTON: Why are the left, the BBC and the blob so desperate to depose Suella Braverman?

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 2, 2022
DAN WOOTTON: After successfully deposing two Prime Ministers in a snap succession in a remoaner coup, our brave Home Secretary is next in line of fire for our impoverished political system. The elites have become more concerned about the forthright language used by the new Conservative queen of the right than by the 40,000 who have arrived by small boats on the Channel this year, so out of touch with the public's feelings, they have become more worried about the forthright words used by the new Conservative queen of the right than by the 40,000 who have arrived so far this year alone. Braverman has an uncompromising iron grip on the unlawful migrant issue and knows what is necessary to change, including the need to abandon the European Convention on Human Rights, which she advocated for during her own campaign for Tory leader over the summer, so the controversial yet necessary Rwanda initiative can be initiated. Do I believe for a moment a globalist politician like Sunak shares Braverman's world view? Nope. However, her own political future could be determined by whether she defyvenes against all odds against the left, the BBC, and the blob.

Amber de Botton, ITV's UK mother-of-two news chief, is Rishi Sunak's latest mouthpiece

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 29, 2022
Downing Street announced today that Rishi Sunak had recruited ITV news chief Amber de Botton (pictured right) as his director of communications, a move that may enrage his arch rival Boris Johnson. It comes just months after her team was recognized for their tumultuous string of Partygate news that may have contributed to Mr Johnson's premiership's demise (pictured left at The Drum Awards, from left to right: Paul Brand, Nathan Lee, and Ms De Botton). Also, the deposed PM's staff saw ITV as the primary source for ex-special advisor Dominic Cummings' damaging leaks, and Ms De Botton's colleagues, particularly political editor Robert Peston, were among his harshest critics.

As the new host to make blunder, ITV's Robert Peston names Chancellor 'Jeremy C***'

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 20, 2022
The political editor, 62, made the error while discussing a turbulent Wednesday that saw the Home Secretary resign and accusations of tears and tear in the Commons over fracking. Peston, the host of ITV's Wednesday night politics show, was discussing Jeremy Hunt's proposed cuts to public spending. 'That means the hole in the public budget is wider than it should have been,' Hunt's - cuts will be more painful,' he said. The MP for South West Surrey has previously pleaded with radio operators to 'grow up' and avoid incorrectly mispronouncing his surname as a highly offensive term. Victoria Derbyshire, James Naughtie, Nicky Campbell, and Harriet Harman have all made the mistake. It comes after a Channel 4 News anchor apologised after being caught on camera referring to Tory minister Steve Baker as a 'c**t'.

Truss said outside ten Downing Street that "I cannot fulfill the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party." I have also written to His Majesty, the King, to inform him that I am resigning as the Conservative Party's leader. The Home Secretary resigned and MPs fought and argued in the Commons in 24 hours. Last night, Tom Bradby introduced a new facet on television news. "It has been a night of spectacular scenes at Westminster, with reports of jostling, manhandling, bullying, and even shouting out of parliament lobbies in a ostensible vote of confidence in the government." "It's abject chaos in short."

JAN MOIR: Solemn as a Bible, it was the BBC that had the most up-to-date information

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 8, 2022
JAN MOIR: It was the BBC that caught the moment on tape. The atmosphere on screen was as solemn as a Bible at 6 p.m. There were no fancy Big Ben bongs, no music, and none of the usual titles to announce the evening news show. And despite the Queen's death yet to be announced, Auntie was slipping into full fig funeral mode. Huw Edwards, the newsreader, was already tense, while Witchell, the stickler for detail and protocol, was still in his blue tie. Edwards was speaking very slowly, but with just the right amount of gravelly Welsh gravitas at the time, it was impossible. And then, in the most straightforward and perfectly judged situation after he relayed the sad news, the National Anthem was performed as a unified portrait of the young Queen dominated the screen.
