File under ‘U’ for Uncomfortable
What sort of weirdos want to spend 3 days in an open basket with 2 others whilst flying from Maine to Luxembourg under a hydrogen balloon? One of them was a British woman with an MBE for daring ballooning feats.
She’s the first woman to do the Atlantic crossing trip under a hydrogen balloon rather than a safer helium balloon.

President Thump is reported to be considering buying the Chagos Islands from Mauritius (which has no right to them) to secure the future of the US air base there. Another vote of no confidence in our wonderful Labour government.
Just useless
When it comes to Defence of the Realm, Labour is rather good at ignoring it in favour of buying benefits votes.
It is over a year and counting since a defence review was completed and Smarmer’s Army is allegedly busy wrangling over just part of the funding for it.
Getting even worser
Those with a job will have to work 4 more days before they pay off the taxman and start making money for themself, thanks to having to pay for Labour’s growing army of benefits voters.
Meltdown
We are being threatened with another heat wave this weekend. No doubt the Met Office will be working at pace and making frantic efforts to achieve new world record temperatures.
