DEAR DEIDRE: THOUGH my girlfriend and I have a good sex life, I’m obsessed with taking things further by having a threesome with her best friend. What my girlfriend doesn’t know is that her friend works part-time at a lap dancing club — and I’m one of her regulars. I’m 28 and my girlfriend is 25. Her friend is 24. I love my girlfriend and can see a future together. But I am starting to get tired of the same positions and the same routines in bed. I also have a very high sex drive which, if I’m honest, none of my partners has ever been able to completely satisfy. The idea of a threesome has always appealed. I fantasise about it. A few weeks ago I went on a stag do, which ended up at a local lap dancing club. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of...

Konstantin Kisin has until this week been best known as a libertarian, pro-free speech independent podcaster, and for a viral appearance at the Oxford Union arguing that “woke culture has gone too far”. His profile has suddenly risen, however, after hosting the Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, on his podcast, and arguing in an episode with Fraser Nelson, the former editor of the Spectator, that Rishi Sunak was not English owing to his “brown Hindu” background – triggering criticism on social media. Kisin has rounded off the week by giving a keynote speech at the hard-right Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (Arc) conference where he delivered one of his often-repeated jokes: “I love this country and I say so publicly, which is how you know I still haven’t integrated into British culture.” In a speech covering anti-woke themes, he argued “identity politics and multiculturalism … are two failed experiments” and railed against...

Trump administration can move forward with mass firings of federal works, judge rules The Trump administration’s mass firings of federal workers can continue while the lawsuit moves forward, a federal judge ruled today. US district judge Christopher Cooper found the five unions suing the administration on behalf of thousands of federal workers must bring their case under federal employment law, and not in district court. While the unions argued the president’s mass layoffs challenge Congress’ power to shape federal agencies through the purse strings, attorneys for the Trump administration said the unions failed to show the layoffs justified an emergency restraining order. Since taking office one month ago, Donald Trump and his advisor, tech billionaire Elon Musk, have overseen the firings of thousands of federal workers across defense, veterans affairs, health, the treasury, the consumer financial protection bureau and other agencies.
