Time is flying as it's already week three of the JOE Politics Quiz.
Just when you thought we couldn't top last week's quiz, we only went and did it.
Headlines this week were understandably dominated by everyone acting surprised that Argentina went and whipped out a "Falklands are Argentinian" banner after their World Cup win over England.
This caused Keir Starmer to hit back at the Argentinian players saying in the aftermath, Keir Starmer has hit back at the players for the banner as his spokesperson released a statement.
They said: "The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falklands definitely are.
"Our position is unchanged, and our commitment to the Falklanders is unwavering."
The spokesperson also said that Starmer backs business secretary Peter Kyle's calls for an investigation from FIFA.
They added: "The PM wishes both teams well for the final - especially Spain."
Cheeky.
Also in the news, Keir Starmer issued his full list of peerages given out by the outgoing prime minister.
The list was comprised of 26 names to be nominated by Starmer for a peerage and a seat in the House of Lords as the King has already signed off on the nominations.
As is tradition, the prime minister submits a list of people he wants to receive a peerage when they are leaving Downing Street.
There were nominations from the Labour Party, Lib Dems and Conservatives.
However, there were none for Reform which clearly irked their leader Nigel Farage who bitterly posted on X: "The House of Lords appointments are the uniparty writ large.
"Once again there is nothing for Reform and we get an even more unrepresentative upper house."
This remains just the tip of the iceberg in politics this weeks, with questions on Liz Truss, the Clacton by-election and Ukraine all coming up.
So, without further ado, let's quiz.
