This is the brutal Fairytale of New York parody that captures the mood of the nation in December 2025. While Whitehall enjoys the champagne and "free gear," the rest of the UK is living through a nightmare.
They can ignore the voters, but they can't silence the music. Listen to the track that exposes the hypocrisy of the Winter Fuel cuts, the Lord Alli scandal, and the reality on our streets.
Dawn Neesom speaks with Robert Thomas of Remarkable Pubs as Jeremy Clarkson announces he has banned all Labour MPs from attending his pub, over Labour's changes to business rates, which have hit farmers.
Jeremy Clarkson has certainly carved out a remarkable path as one of Britain’s most successful and recognisable broadcasters, primarily celebrated for taking the motoring programme Top Gear and, alongside his co-presenters, transforming it into a colossal, hilarious global entertainment powerhouse. His distinctive, often controversial but always witty style of presenting has always managed to resonate with a massive audience, turning him into a genuine cultural touchstone, not just for car enthusiasts but for general viewers too. It’s a career that shows real range, moving effortlessly from high-octane journalism to being the sharp host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Most surprisingly and recently, he’s found a whole new level of popularity as the star of the hugely successful Clarkson's Farm. That show has really revealed a dedicated, unexpectedly thoughtful side, cementing his legacy as a journalist and an entertainer who can make just about any topic utterly compelling viewing.
Paul Joseph Watson is a British YouTuber and radio host from Sheffield who built a sizeable online following through his sharp, confident style and interest in cultural and political subjects. Born on 24 May 1982, he first made his mark while working with InfoWars as editor at large in the early two thousands, then launched his own YouTube channel in 2011, where his direct delivery and clear focus helped him stand out. Over the years he has grown into a recognisable voice who knows how to spark discussion and keep an audience engaged.
A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck off the coast of northern Japan on 8 December 2025 and set off an immediate tsunami warning that stretched across Aomori, Iwate and parts of Hokkaido. The epicentre sat roughly eighty kilometres off Aomori at a depth of about fifty kilometres, which was deep enough to spread a long, heavy tremor through towns along the shoreline. Rail services paused while checks were carried out, thousands of homes lost power for a time, and coastal residents were told to move to higher ground as a precaution.
The initial alert warned that waves could reach up to three metres. In the end, the first measured waves were far smaller. Some ports reported heights of around forty centimetres, which is roughly sixteen inches. Even so, officials reminded people to remain in safe zones because later waves sometimes grow in strength. That warning is based on long experience. The Sanriku offshore quake in December 1994 reached magnitude 7.7 and produced a modest but noticeable tsunami, and the huge Kamchatka earthquake in July 2025 sent waves across the region that showed how distant shocks can still affect Japanese shores.
The government has set up an emergency task force to assess the situation and support affected communities. Engineers have begun inspecting structures, and seismologists are watching for aftershocks. People in low lying areas have been asked to wait for the official all clear before returning home. Japan’s coastal regions have lived through many seismic scares, and that collective memory is one reason evacuation drills and safety rules are taken so seriously.
Immediate Family is a captivating 2022 documentary that shines a spotlight on four session musicians who quietly shaped the sound of the 1970s. Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel and Waddy Wachtel, later joined by Steve Postell, played behind some of the era’s biggest stars, from Carole King to James Taylor and Stevie Nicks. The film blends interviews, archival footage and music to reveal the skill, creativity and camaraderie that made them indispensable in the studio, yet largely invisible to the public. By celebrating their artistry and influence, Immediate Family offers a fascinating glimpse into the unsung heroes whose work defined a generation of popular music.
Stars: Phil Collins, Lyle Lovett, Keith Richards, James Taylor. Stevie Nicks, Carole king

An elderly beekeeper in Citrus County has been left fighting to rebuild his life after twenty active hives vanished from a plot he owns. Eighty four year old Richard Marquette has worked with bees since childhood and relies on honey sales to get by, especially after being placed on medical leave from his job. He discovered the hives had gone in late July when he found a contractor clearing trees around fifty feet inside his property line. When he asked about the bees, he was told the landowner had ordered them moved, yet Richard is the landowner and had authorised no such thing. A deputy later determined that the neighbour, Joseph Denicke, had admitted asking a friend to remove the hives and had even advertised them on Facebook for anyone willing to collect them. More than ninety days later the hives have not been returned, the case has been closed by the sheriff’s department and Richard says he has been left with nothing.
The missing colonies represent up to two million bees along with boxes marked with his state issued registration number. Each hive can produce between twenty and forty quarts of honey and, in Florida, some can deliver three crops in a year, so Richard estimates that thousands of dollars in income have been wiped out. His lawyer, Andy Lyons, has sent a formal demand giving Denicke a short window to make things right. Lyons says the loss has destroyed a full year of earning potential and damaged the wider ecosystem that depends on those bees. Richard still has a few jars of Palmetto honey left, which he proudly describes as close to perfect, and he hopes to recover his bees and equipment in time for next season. If that does not happen, he plans to sue. Authorities have urged anyone who knows the whereabouts of the hives to contact the state’s bee inspection programme.
Swedish treasure hunter Dennis Asberg believes he has uncovered something extraordinary on the Baltic seafloor. He and his Ocean X team have spent fifteen years studying a circular structure roughly sixty metres wide that sits ninety metres down. Their instruments have picked up GPS dropouts, strange electromagnetic effects and sharply defined right angles. A fresh 2025 sub-bottom scan hints that the object might not even be fixed to the seabed, which makes the whole thing feel even stranger. The team has also collected biological traces, scorched fragments and pieces of basalt from an area where that type of rock should not appear. They even logged temperatures close to zero right above the structure.
Asberg is no stranger to unusual finds. His career includes Tsarist era submarines, seventeenth century cognac and a long list of major wrecks. Even with that background, he says nothing he has encountered comes close to the oddity resting out in the Baltic.
