I’m confident that a bewildered face and swearing at ducks is a solid foundation from which I can grow a successful campaign. I look forward to winning your full support. #Taskmaster

What a brilliant opener to the new series of #Taskmaster. Loving the dynamic between the contestants, and there were some wonderful tasks.

This week @hugorifkind.bsky.social joins @aiannucci.bsky.social to chat about religious language in politics. What is Trump's favourite bible passage? Why did the Pope rebuke Hegseth? And we ponder the age-old question—which Easter has been best, militarily?

Three kisses to anyone who can dig out the scene in Veep where Selina talks about the horrors of war to a Marine dressed as the Easter Bunny. It’s out there somewhere.

Great episode, and always good to see Roy Wood Jnr guest hosting.

I understand why you dismissed the idea of replacing the Churchill statue, but hear me out...
