X Jake Traylor @jake__traylor 15m Trump just now on if he will support Maria Corina Machado to take over in Venezuela: "We're going to have to look at it. Right now they have a vice president as you know. I mean I don't know what kind of election that was."

A realistic-looking fixed penalty notice printed on white paper with perforated edges. The header features the Birmingham City Council logo in blue. Text details: * Header: BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL – FIXED PENALTY NOTICE * Notice Details: * FPN No: WINT-XMAS-2023-001 * Location: Victoria Square, Birmingham * Contravention Code: 412 (Use of Prohibited Term) * Description: Using the word 'Christmas' in a public space, contrary to the 'Winterval Inclusive Language Directive (WILD) 1998'. * Details of Offence: The individual was overheard uttering the phrase 'Merry Christmas' instead of the approved and inclusive term 'Winterval Greetings' or 'Happy Seasonal Holiday'. This archaic terminology is deemed exclusionary and disruptive to the secular winter festivities. * Penalty Amount: £100.00 (Reduced to £50.00 if paid within 14 days). Bottom text (Small print): FACT CHECK: This document is a work of satire and does not represent real council policy. Birmingham City Council did not ban or rename Christmas. 'Winterval' was a marketing initiative used in 1997 and 1998 to promote a season of public events and festivities occurring between November and January, which included Christmas celebrations. The term has not been used by the council since, but the myth that Christmas was cancelled persists.

TripAdvisor review for Birmingham fish market saying: I find my self bored whilst on tour as an international celebrity and like to use this time to develop contagious rumours . I was surprised and delighted to find the fish market. Woo, I was handed an experience I'll never forget. It was like a fishy hazing ceremony, a right of passage to becoming a true Brummie bab. Sadly, I forgot to follow the eminent Dr Dog's medical advice from his bestseller children's book. Picking my bum and sucking my thumb resulted in getting the trots. Hint: Blame the local authority if this happens to you and you'll be guaranteed headlines in the newspaper.
