His mum was a former nun. So some on Twitter clearly expected him to show a bit more Christian forgiveness towards the parent unable to stifle the cries of their baby which interrupted his Edinburgh fringe . Forde got a roasting when he tweeted: “Someone brought their baby to my show last night. Sadly it derailed large parts of it because they wouldn’t do the decent thing and just leave when it started crying. I get that it must be tough as a new parent but please, don’t bring babies to adult shows. It’s always a problem.” “Sarah” spoke for a fair few when she tweeted in response: “Good grief.

Eric Trump has said that the GOP is the party of his father, following Representative Liz Cheney 's resounding primary defeat in Wyoming. Analyzing the aftermath of Cheney's defeat to Harriet Hageman, Eric Trump touted the influence that his father had on the GOP.

The Simpsons is not the only show that is able to predict the future to a scarily accurate degree, as The Undeclared War has been able to do exactly that. Peacock's new drama is set in 2024 and follows Saara Parvin (Hannah Khalique-Brown), a university student who joins Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) for an apprenticeship as an analyst with Danny Patrick (Simon Pegg). There, Saara is quickly drawn into an intense conflict between the U.K. and Russia when the latter hacks the other country's electoral system that GCHQ need to retaliate to, leading to a series of cyber attacks that are at risk of creating a full-scale war. Pegg and show creator Peter Kosminsky spoke to Newsweek about the way in which the show was able to foresee events, and how "terrifying" it was to dive into the dark realities of cyber warfare.
