#ChatGPT If women had controlled government spending from the beginning of the national debt in Britain and America, and behaved like the stereotypical wife who tells her husband, "No, we're not spending that much!", how much national debt would both countries have today?

The British wife's verdict: "You've fought half the world, lost an empire, and still owe £3 trillion!" The American wife's verdict: "You've only been independent for 250 years. HOW have you spent $40 trillion?!"

Has #GreenWing been recomission for another season like scrubs with Sue White being played by @bbclaurak I'm a serious note. I can't believe any minister would do that. It's disgusting and more than uncomfortable Laura.

🚨 NEW: Laura Kuenssberg has revealed a Government Minister may have wanted a threesome with her after she arrived for an interview in his hotel room to find him on the bed shirtless with his partner waiting "It was very uncomfortable"

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

The original description from Kuenssberg's book, as reported in The Times, states she found the minister with "his shirt undone several buttons too many," not shirtless. Multiple outlets quote the same wording. thetimes.com/culture/books/… telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/… mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

I'm confused. Why would they vote for self-confessed traitor when they could go after another one and keep him as a known traitor? #TraitorsUK #Traitors

Turns out my confusion is founded upon the lack of transparency of the program makers. I'm sure James A is ok, just a shame the program makers who had plenty of warning this might happen, couldn't have edited in the break with a notice.

So I can't see the difference between James Acaster confessing and Richard E Grant confessing #TraitorsUK #Traitors

It's like they already knew who the other two were in the murder in plain site room so go for more questioning #TraitorsUK #Traitors Plus with the known traitor and one more Unknown traitor left in that would've created chaos between them when they chose the next murder

Could you have a discussion on #Newsnight about the succession of Putin, would you have any panellists that would know about what Russia would do and what scenarios might happen?
