This week, there will be no questions regarding Andy Burnham, as he is currently enjoying a summer vacation with his family. However, the Thursday quiz remains unaffected by this absence. A fresh set of fifteen questions is available, covering a range of topics including current events, general knowledge, and popular culture. While no prizes are awarded, participants are encouraged to share their scores in the comments section.

Welcome to the Thursday news quiz, edition No. 259.

If you believe there has been a significant mistake in any of the questions or answers, and you can provide your reasoning while ensuring you are not misinterpreting a joke, feel free to voice your concerns in the comments below. In the meantime, consider watching “Throw Over Your Man” by The Anchoress featuring James Dean Bradfield.
