It is the most played Christmas song in the UK this century but has never reached number one in the British charts. Now, Fairytale of New York is a contender to be top of the pops for the first time after Shane MacGowan, the hellraising frontman of the Pogues, died aged 65.

Nigel Farage:

“The point about [Brexit] is we can make a mess of it ourselves if we choose to.”

The rules, set under the EU–UK Brexit deal, place minimum restrictions on all battery parts and some battery raw materials to ensure they’re locally sourced within the EU or UK. These requirements hike up from 2024.

Failure to comply will result in a 10% tariff which if fully passed on would raise the average cost of UK-built battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by £3,600 in Europe, while EU-made BEVs sold in the UK would see an average £3,400 price hike, as revealed in the SMMT’s report last week.

Henry Kissinger was 15 years old when he and his family fled Nazi Germany and moved to New York in 1938.

After serving in the US Army and becoming a respected academic, Kissinger entered the White House as President Richard Nixon's right hand man on foreign policy in 1969.

In 1973, he was also appointed to the role of secretary of state, giving him unprecedented influence over how the US conducted itself around the world during the Cold War.

Kissinger played a key role on US relations with Soviet Russia and China. He will also be remembered for his influence over the Vietnam War.

He continued to be a vocal contributor on international matters into old age, even meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in July aged 100.

RIP

People across parts of the UK had their coldest November night since 2010 on Wednesday - and have three more days of snow and ice warnings ahead of them.

On Aonach Mor in the Scottish Highlands, it was a bitter -8C (18F).

In lower-lying Prestwick, in Ayrshire, the overnight temperature fell to -5.5C (22F) and dropped to a chilly -6.1C (21F) in the Cumbrian town of Keswick.

Snow has fallen across Scotland and east England, as far south as Norfolk. It will stay cold for a few more days.

At records highs since leaving the bloc, EU workers simply replaced by people with more pronounced religious and cultural differences exacerbating the likelihood of social tensions.

CEY has a knowable chat board especially MR Tibbles.

I held for several years but sold after a mine wall was in danger of collapse.

It was sorted but gold target was reduced by 100k. Now back to 500k/yr.

Good steady share but only one mine (in Egypt).

HUM up 17%

as they need a high price just to break even.

If you factor in recent high inflation then the real $POG is way lower.

Sorry to be party pooper.

I HOLD

(but nowhere near 4.5m)
