Yesterday's papers also carry the story of Natalie Elphicke's defection from the Conservatives to Labour.
Papers call it "shameless" and suggests it shows Sir Kier Starmer "lacks principles"; her admission has "split" Labour showing them to have embraced "an unprincipled opportunist who has trashed them for years and whose views change like the weather".
The Times, Tom Peck describes Natalie Elphicke's appearance on the Labour benches at PMQs on Wednesday as a "fireworks display"
Quentin Letts of the dail mail notes that he saw only three Labour MPs shake Ms Elphicke's hand, but that she "soaked up the sunrays of everyone's attention", before leaving the chamber, shoulder-to-shoulder with Labour's leader, as they shared an awkward silence.
This is a political meltdown of Westminster🙄

So, the winner of the 68th Eurovision is Switzerland. The stage this year, hosted in Sweden, was built in an upside down cross, where each nation's contestant, performed on.
Switzerland's winning contestant, during his initial performance, was wearing a short, pink skirt, spinning on a disc, bending HIS knees so the audience could see up his skirt. 🤦🏻♀
The UK was not even a close contender (as usual), which is quite surprising considering their similar theme. 🙈

However, the 53-year-old, who is from America, is understood to have told the congregation, roughly 100 Catholic residents, that blood would have rushed to the lower body of Jesus as a result of the violent execution method of crucifixion.
'He told people Jesus died with an erection. The church was shocked. There were young families there.' OMG.
