While most kids were dressing up as classic monsters or their favourite film character for Halloween – before staying indoors and eating their own sweets because Trick or Treat was banned – one young boy had a very different costume idea.

As you may have noticed, Jacob‘s performance seemed to have been inspired as much by the great Janey Godley as by the First Minister herself.
Here’s an example – the language is not safe for work or 7-year-olds, but it’s very funny.
Janey was impressed.
This is brilliant https://t.co/auFYCufWvS — Janey Godley (@JaneyGodley) October 30, 2020

The announcement of ‘Lockdown 2: The Return of the Banana Bread‘ highlighted an ideological division in the Conservative Party. Some stated that the restrictions are too damaging to business, while others spotted how bad that looks against the coronavirus statistics and kept their mouths shut.
One prominent dissenter is former Tory leader and slasher of benefits, Iain Duncan Smith. His argument against the lockdown was – brace yourself – that it amounts to “giving in to the scientific advisers.”

Lady Gaga appeared at one of Joe Biden‘s final rallies, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, speaking out against Trump’s horrible attitude to women, amongst other things.
Of course, Trump reminded the crowd at his own rally that Gaga, or Stefani Germanotta, is against fracking, which is something he very much supports, as a climate change denier.
He added
“I could tell you plenty of stories – I could tell you stories about Lady Gaga, I know a lot of stories. Lady Gaga.“
The Trump campaign’s Comms Director, Tim Murtagh, followed that up with this tweet.
Nothing exposes Biden’s disdain for the forgotten working men & women of PA like campaigning with anti-fracking activist Lady Gaga. This desperate effort to drum up enthusiasm is actually a sharp stick in the eye for 600,000 Pennsylvanians who work in the fracking industry. pic.twitter.com/p5LqLFl4Dl — Tim Murtaugh (@TimMurtaugh) November 1, 2020

The President of the Catholic Union of Great Britain was understandably unhappy about this development, and shared a letter he’d written to the Prime Minister.

The US election is finally upon us, and the two candidates are in the last throes of their hard-fought campaigns, with Joe Biden planning three rallies on polling day, and Donald Trump six.
Of course, the push for votes hasn’t all taken place in person – some has been via advertising, interviews and via social media.
On Monday, Trump did what he does best – he spouted a pile of lies in a barely coherent rant on Twitter.

With one of the highest coronavirus rates in the UK, and having been the first area to fall under Tier 3 rules, Liverpool has been chosen for a mass-testing programme, which will see all residents offered weekly tests, even those without symptoms.
It’s a mini Operation Moonshot.
2000 members of the armed forces have been drafted in to take the pressure off those staff already carrying out the tests.

Emily Maitlis is brilliant. Relentless, takes no shit from these lying idiots and doesn't bother paying them the courtesy they don't deserve of being polite. Fantastic to watch.#Newsnight — John Featherstone (@johnfeath) November 4, 2020
Emily Maitlis, super hero, utterly bemused by a Trump conspiracy theorist and not pandering to the new BBC missive of recognising all – often cretinous – views. — Daniel Dawkins (@DanDawkins) November 4, 2020
"I DON'T THINK I EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING." Emily Maitlis, interviewing in exactly the same way I shout at my telly when such vacuous idiocy gets unwarranted airtime. Time we had a few more people calling this stuff out. PETER, YOU'VE LOST THE NEWS! https://t.co/1F2VIxJGEQ — Alistair McGown (@AMcGown) November 5, 2020

We have 70 million Americans who think what this woman is saying makes sense. Trump has created his own pandemic of cult fascism fueled by fear-mongering, lies, and disinformation. Biden will need to implement massive deprogramming efforts to help these people back to reality. https://t.co/Ik7Q9cmbUv — Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) November 5, 2020
To conclude …
Emily Maitlis is superb.
Brilliant at holding the arrogant to account.
That is why none of the Johnson govt ever appear on #Newsnight.
