Independent Republican Mike Graham. On your marks. Get set. Let's start the show.

Now, it's another day of recoiling for members of the royal family.

It's an Australian actress Rebel Wilson has claimed a person in the firm invited her to a drug-fueled orgy at the home of a US tech billionaire in 2014.
