LadBaby said: “Rox and I have had a great day surprising fans in Birmingham! Taking over the Drive-Thru was a blast, we loved surprising people with free Rewards points and some amazing merch! As people may know, Rox and I love to get involved in charity work where we can, so being able to visit Ronald McDonald House Birmingham was a real highlight – it’s great to see the work they’re doing for families with the launch of MyMcDonald’s Rewards. People can use their points to donate money to Ronald McDonald House Charities as well as McDonald’s other brilliant charity partners.” Earlier this week he put a call out to companies in a bid to produce a more affordable range of shirts with slogans such as Come on England and It's Coming Home. Mark, 34, said: "We know from that how 14 million people are living below the poverty line. I might be able to afford it but a lot of people in this country can't." At least Johnson is doing better than Rishi Sunak, the actual prime minister, who can be found only as one of several images on a coaster set and matching framed print. Even Keir Starmer appears on his own flip-flops (get it?), and on a satirical Christmas card reading: “All I want for Christmas is EU”. And given only a third of Britons now think Brexit was the right decision, they may well sell lots of that one.

It refuses to submit to the cancel culture mentality of a moaning minority. I, personally, wish to thank everyone involved in organising and staging our spectacular Christmas display. The time, energy and effort involved is rarely recognised or valued. I feel very proud that our Christmas lights put March on the map and help to spread joy to so many.” Lydia Bolton, the slow fashion designer who created the three Lidl jumpers, said: “Designing and producing these jumpers inspired by Christmas icons from secondhand textiles has been super fun and creative, but knowing they are going to be rented and reworn also supports my mission of valuing and reusing textiles.”Every penny spent equates to 1 point, and there are some amazing rewards available for customers to treat themselves to.

There is also an option to donate the cash equivalent of their points to BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities, to support the company’s commitment to funding and supporting youth work, alongside reducing food poverty and waste in the UK. Dean Chapman, McDonald’s Franchisee manager said: “I am pleased MyMcDonald’s Rewards has launched in Birmingham and I know our customers will love earning and enjoying rewards on some of their favourite menu items. It was great to have LadBaby and LadBaby Mum here to help us with the launch at my Bristol Road restaurant in Birmingham. Dozens of people debated the wonky tree when a photo appeared on a Facebook group, with some calling it “embarrassing” and others praising the work of volunteers from the March Christmas lights committee.She conceded the tree was “a little bit wonky. But it is a beautiful tree that will be decorated this weekend and, let’s face it, Pisa’s famous leaning tower is celebrated and adored the world over. It’s taken its time, but it’s clear that the public are growing weary of LadBaby – when it comes to Christmas number one, we’ve BEEN over it. Why? Because despite the fact LadBaby has positioned this number one endeavour that has seen him beat The Beatles’ record for most Christmas number one singles as a noble act for charity, it has been entirely self serving and profile building. Because despite LadBaby’s apparently noble efforts, we are yet to see the end of foodbanks in this country. Perhaps LadBaby should have angled their campaigns more towards criticism of the government who caused the astronomical rise for a need for foodbanks rather than trying to convince the general public to buy their single. As part of the tour, McDonald’s has given away a massive 5 million Rewards points to customers, crew and their charity partners including BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities. At every location, customers were delighted by the Rewards Squad with points that they can add to their MyMcDonald’s Rewards account on the McDonald’s App and redeem against their favourite menu items or convert to a cash equivalent charity donation. One resident, Kimberly Williams, told the BBC: “The Italians have got the leaning tower of Pisa; March has now got the leaning tree of Christmas.” Why not enjoy our ever so slightly leaning tree and express some gratitude and festive cheer? For many years, a dedicated team of volunteers has worked incredibly hard to deliver what is, arguably, one of the finest Christmas lights displays in Cambridgeshire.”

She told Cambridgeshire Live: “It is very disappointing that each year sees a small (but very vocal) minority surface, which seems hellbent on spreading negativity, finding fault, levelling criticism, and generally trying to kill the spirit of Christmas.” They fell out of popularity in the 1990s – largely regarded as “gag gits”. In Bridget Jones’s Diary, they epitomised embarrassment.The town clerk at March town council, Sarah Lemmon, launched an excoriating takedown of the wonky tree’s detractors, criticising “the cancel culture mentality of a moaning minority” who, she argued, were “trying to kill the spirit of Christmas”.
