El Clasico: Barcelona to celebrate rapper Drake with special shirts against Real Madrid

Is it completely wrong that until i was this on the Football page of BBC i wasn't even aware of Drake ? 50Bn downloads and never even aware he existed.

They're properly going after him now to force him to resign, then they'll go after Truss.
They've flown him in specially for the occasion!

Just a shame they don't have Concorde any more for the job.
And I thought I was joking.

Some u-turn :shock:

From the link:
Some Tory MPs have discussed options to remove Mr Truss as prime minister, laying bare divisions within the party, which has been in power for 12 years.

Well, when he said, 'I'm not going anywhere', I did wonder how to take it....

It's lucky there's a load of buses around Parliament, otherwise she would have had to waited ages to find one to throw him under....

Truss confirms new tax U-turn and insists she will stay as PM

So, what's that in real terms?

Out of office within a fortnight?
