The number of insects splattered by cars has massively declined in Europe, boffins claim

It’s so hard to keep your car clean
When bugs crash into your windscreen
But as the world dies
There are far fewer flies
Now I bet you regret voting Green

Their two in bed become three
Just get the rules straight
Before it’s too late
And real life ruins your fantasy

Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald at the General Election 2020 Count centre in the RDS, Dublin 4 on Sunday 

We’ve now reached that odd moment when
The ballots are counted and then
They’ll feign a long talk
While planning to walk
Right back to the voters again

A Mexican art critic accidentally destroyed this €20k work (top) sparking a debate about what constitutes art

Ballot boxes ready to go to polling stations ahead of voting tomorrow in the Generel Election

Please think hard before you all choose
What to do with your ones and your twos

That a later vote
Won’t decide who will win or who’ll lose

Up to say Trump is good
And he’ll now claim he’s in the clear

House Speaker Nancy Peolosi tears US President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech last night

Now it’s over to Washington where
Tempers have started to flare
And the Speaker has ripped
Up the President’s script
On the grounds that it’s only hot air

Problems with a mobile app appeared to force a delay in reporting the results of the Iowa caucuses for a prospective Democratic nominee for US President

Can any in Iowa say
Which candidate carried the day?
As their voting app
Turned out to be crap
The results are now facing delay

It’s a question that’s bound to perplex:
Are young people having less sex?
All good data show
That the short answer’s “no”
But the long answer‘s rather complex

Union Jack flags hang next to the Winston Churchill statue outside the Houses of Parliament Westminster, London yesterday

One big thing is happening today
Our neighbours are going away
And while Big Ben won’t bong
They may sing a song
As chaos is now here to stay
