I tried the popular chicken takeaway which has a run in with Elon Musk
A popular takeaway restaurant which specialises in chicken has launched tongue-tingling new menu items ahead of summer.
Colorado's chicken, which is located on Derby Street and opened earlier this year, unveiled its brand new 'peri range' which will be available at both the Bolton and Bury locations.

Our sister paper The Bury Times previously reported on owner Amanj Ali, who had wanted to call his new shop 'Tesla Chicken & Pizza', was hit with a £12,000 bill after losing a trademark battle with Elon Musk's car giant, Tesla.

Speaking to The Bolton News Amanj said: 'The restaurant in Bolton opened around five weeks ago on the first week of April.

'Since then, the response from customers has been extremely positive, the brand is well known in the area and people have travelled from Manchester to come and visit us.
'At the moment our most well-received menu item is the spicy burger. We hope to continue to serve delicious food to Bolton's wonderful community.
"Anyone looking to franchise the restaurant in the UK would be greatly welcomed."
A Lamborghini supercar and fire dancers were also present at the promotional event.
The event was organised by Bolton-based events manager Suraiya Haque.

For spice lovers, the new range at Colorado's is a must-try. I decided to opt for the full spice dip, which gave a tantalising spicy kick with every mouthful.

A range of milkshakes are also on offer for customers, including Oreo, strawberry, Biscoff, KitKat, Snickers and more.

I tried the creamy strawberry milkshake, which was the dreamiest dessert to accompany the sunny weather. If you're looking for some tasty chicken, a spicy kick or looking to try a new lunch spot to visit with friends – Colorado's is definitely worth a try.

Despite Feud, Trump Says He'll Stick With Starlink at White House
Donald Trump and Elon Musk still are not speaking, but the breakup does not appear like it will bring an end to the free advertising that Musk got for himself in the White House. In a press conference on Monday, Trump told reporters that he is going to keep the Starlink internet connection that was installed at the presidential residence earlier this year, calling it 'a good service.' Trump also threw some cold water on the idea that he was going to sell his Tesla that he bought earlier this year as a favor to Musk while Tesla was the subject of protests and the company's stock was tanking. 'I may move the Tesla around a little bit,' he said, but he didn't say he intended to sell it. When asked what 'moving it around' means, Trump just said, 'I have a lot of locations.' Okay! The Tesla is currently at the White House, where it's available for staffers to use. While Trump intends to keep Starlink connected at the White House, security experts sure wish he wouldn't. The service, which was reportedly installed by DOGE earlier this year, per the Washington Post, went up without the approval of the people who manage White House communications systems. They were unable to monitor activity on the network, which was only protected by a prompt asking users to provide a password. By comparison, the White House's primary WiFi network requires people to create a username and password in order to connect, and those accounts expire after one week. So, that's not ideal. Trump could use the security concerns as a way to ditch Musk, but he's really doing his best to remain cordial about the whole situation—a shock for a guy who is not exactly known to be above petty potshots and insults. He went so far as to say on Monday, 'I wish him well. We had a good relationship and I just wish him well, very well actually.' So while the two still aren't talking, Trump isn't fanning the flames. And while Trump may not be ditching his Musk-related equipment, the rest of the government may not be so loyal. The Washington Post reported this weekend that officials at both NASA and the Pentagon started pushing SpaceX competitors to step up and offer alternatives to the services provided by the Musk-backed venture. The reason isn't petty or vindictive, but rather safety-related: Musk threatened to decommission its Dragon spacecraft, which is essential for transporting astronauts to the International Space Station. The agencies simply can't rely on a guy who could just one day declare he's not going to complete an essential service they are counting on and contracted out to him.

Morgan Stanley Widens Net to Land $5 Billion Debt for Musk's xAI
Morgan Stanley is reaching out to a broader pool of investors to shore up demand for a $5 billion debt sale for Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI Corp., a deal that offers a window into the fallout from the billionaire's feud with US President Donald Trump. When Morgan Stanley launched the debt offering early last week, it already had more than $3.5 billion in orders. Some investors took that as a sign that the deal would soon be oversubscribed, a goal that has been easily exceeded for other Musk-related offerings. As of Monday, though, demand was only up to around $5 billion, and the bank began reaching out to smaller lenders who had not been given access last week, according to people familiar with the deal.

DOGE Has Work Left to Do
Given Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency, where should DOGE go from here? The Trump administration created the department to reduce government fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement. As a special government employee, Mr. Musk was prevented by law from working more than 130 days a year in that role—but that doesn't mean the effort should end with his exit. Since January, DOGE has conducted a review of a range of government information systems, and the team's work has significantly increased public concern over waste and abuse in the federal government. Building on the work done by the Government Accountability Office and the inspectors general of various agencies, DOGE's efforts have reinforced the need for updated information systems, stronger internal controls and modern management practices.
