clap

Caruso — who defeated Bass in the Palisades by wide a margin in the 2022 mayoral election — smiled and waved at her from the front of the room as the audience clapped.

A group of beaming Israelis sang, clapped and jumped in a circle in Hostages Square, which has been the scene of weekly rallies calling for the captives' return.

The machine was collected from North Shields in March 2024 and was welcomed with claps and cheers when it reached Coniston later that day.

But claps were generous for Swift’s closer, which saw the artist sincerely thanking her fans for being her muse.

It’s stiff karaoke that earns a confounded polite clap.
