25 funny things we’ve seen to set the weekend up nicely

So, the weekend is almost here, and aren’t we glad of it. Donald Trump told us that Hurricane Florence is tremendously wet, the two Russian suspects in the Skripal poisoning case told us that Salisbury Cathedral has a spire measuring 123m, and we were told by David Davis that they’ve solved the Irish Border problem. It’s a lot to take in, which is why we also need some light relief.

These 25 jokes and pictures are the perfect antidote to the news.
