Lucy Powell, Labour's Shadow Commons Leader, stumbled into the chaos box. Every week she takes on Penny Mordaunt. It's like watching a goat trot into a minefield. Ms Powell is just another one of banalities' nefarious peddlers. Every apology must be 'grovelling,' according to any dossier'dodgy.' Spell-checking programs are available on computers. Why has no one invented a similar device to remove hackneyed phrases from the Commons speeches of division-two duds? The little goat trotted past the DANGER warnings and neck-bell tinkling, as they do every week. And then, as always, a terrible kaboom and shards of goat meat were released in the air. Poor Ms Powell was obliterated by Ms Mordaunt.

However, comedy will eventually lose him completely, as he says here: In this book, his followers will gobble up: 'Comedy is such a minefield, with political correctness changing it all the time.' "Sometimes for the greater good, but not so often."

I ordered a brand new Apple iPhone 14+ from Amazon, but there were two candles inside and no sign of the phone when it arrived. At first, I was befuddled, but now I'm erupting as Amazon refuses to reimburse me for the device.

In a study, injections of a protein used to treat kidney cancer can reduce MND's dissemination and increase survival chances by 75%.

They may lead to significant changes in patient care for this life-threatening disease.'

When Celtic and Rangers mix it with the ruthless killers of European football, they take a tumble from a second-floor window. The novelty wears off for players and managers who spend weeks raving over the prospect of competing with the best players on the planet.

In Keeping Up Appearance (the pair on left) and as Miss Davenport in the Last of the Summer Wine, BBC viewers will fondly recall the 'comedy great' from childhood to now, but Tewson's career spanned 1950s to today. After graduating from RADA in 1952, the 'wonderful' actress appeared on David Frost on Sunday with comedy legends Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker (bottom right) and appeared in the sitcom Shelley in the 70s and 80s.

Debbie Arnold, a former EastEnders actress, expressed sorrow for her loss: "We're so sad we lost two amazing people, firstly Bruce Montague and then two days later - Josephine Tewson.' Judy Buxton and I had the pleasure of visiting the world and the United Kingdom with these comedy legends ending up in the West End. We had a blast. I adored Jo.'

Dickens lived in Kentish town between 1837 and 1859, penned portions of David Copperfield and Nicholas Nickleby. '[He] may not have predicted the fascination with his ties to the seaside area,' writes Tom Chesshyre, who explains that the town is home to The Old Curiosity Shop tea rooms, a Charles Dickens pub, and Bill Sykes Cottage. But it isn't all literary Victoriana in Broadstairs, writes Tom, who advises visitors not to miss the town's surfing schools, the spectacular Palace Cinema, or Morelli's Gelato. Dickens' description of Broadstairs as "one of the world's youngest and freest little cities" holds true today.
