Let’s move to a railway junction of deprivation! This week: Crewe

You’ve probably changed trains here once. Maybe, if there was an hour or more’s delay, you wandered out to find a street of Cash Converters and obviously violent pubs and concluded it was rough near the station. No. It’s all like that.

How to cook the perfect poached egg, with Colin the emotionally unstable chef

Obviously I had to do the questionnaire. Boris said he's never done homework in his life and he’s not starting now

ONE of the maids brought me the questionnaire, crumpled and stained with Merlot. She had this face on her like she was trying to hide her disgust. So she’s fired.

Let's move to Wales's worst shithole! This week: Newport, Gwent

Like a fatberg-clogged sewer at the bottom of the Valleys, Newport is easily Wales’s most dismally shit-flecked city and was voted ‘most likely to be built on top of an open Hellmouth’.

The Archbishop of Canterbury on... Vladimir fucking Putin
