    🎙️ New Episode Out Now — News at Ten-ish 🎙️

    This week, Polly Tickle delivers the dry, sarcastic news wrap you didn’t know you needed:

    🛂 Labour tightens immigration and tongues — Keir Starmer's "strangers on an island" moment leaves eyebrows raised and care homes wondering who’s left to staff them.

    🏛️ Reform UK take over councils and quickly learn that you can’t fix roads with Facebook posts.

    🗺️ Local government reform returns! (Because what councils really need is a fresh rebrand and another three tiers of meetings.)

    🕊️ Ukraine and Russia edge closer to talking — or at least to booking the same venue.

    ✈️ Donald Trump’s Qatar-funded plane raises questions about ethics, security, and whether it comes in gold-plated MAGA.

    Introducing News at Ten-ish – where the headlines are serious, but we absolutely aren’t. 🎙️

    In our debut episode, Polly Tickle takes you through the week’s biggest stories with her signature dry wit and unfiltered sarcasm. Expect international drama, national nonsense, and local chaos, including:

    🗣️ Trump vs. Zelensky – Diplomacy meets disaster as Donald does what Donald does best: start an argument.

    🇬🇧 Europe Stands with Ukraine – The UK and EU make a very public attempt to clean up the mess.

    ✈️ Blackpool Airport’s Big Plans – Because nothing says ‘bold ambition’ like hoping for flights in five years.

    🚨 Bonny Street Police Station: Demolished – Will it be replaced by something useful?

    💰 Kirkham’s £10 Million Glow-Up – Big money, big promises… and hopefully more than just a new bench.

    AFC Fylde Sack Another Manager – The job security equivalent of a revolving door.

    Blackpool’s Life Expectancy Woes – We officially out-grimmed Glasgow. Achievement unlocked.

    🎙️ New Episode Out Now — News at Ten-ish 🎙️

    Polly Tickle returns with the only show brave enough to ask:

    🗳️ Reform UK: The rise of angry voters — or just the loudest at council meetings?

    🛡️ UK defence plans dusted off — because nothing says "prepared" like ration books and royal bunkers.

    🤖 Trump’s AI Pope pic — when politics, technology and very poor taste collide.

    🎬 Foreign films? Not on Trump’s watch. Tariffs incoming. Subtitles beware.

    From the serious to the seriously ridiculous, News at Ten-ish covers it all... sort of.
