He’s been shot, stabbed, flogged, bitten and beaten. He’s been cornered, surrounded and lost beyond enemy lines. But against the odds, he’s cheated death, and defied fate at every turn… Happy Birthday to Major Richard Sharpe!

1813. When you’re facing an impossible mission, you need someone who knows how to fight dirty, think fast, and survive the impossible. Oh, and someone who knows how to ruin a Frenchman’s day. You need Richard Sharpe… Pre-order Sharpe’s Storm: amzn.to/40wyvDm

Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it. She worked hard In showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person --…

Possibly the most depressing #PMQs I’ve watched in a long time. Pathetic and obsequious questions. Starmer has the personality of a tea spoon and clearly struggles when speaking in front of people.

One was paid £5m a year to beat teams like Slovakia in Extra Time, but ultimately fail. The other has put his body on the line to raise over £11m in honour of his friend and the MND community who are in desperate need of treatments. Guess which one has been given a Knighthood ?
