Another day with plenty of aircraft activity - so obvious with such a glorious blue cloudless sky. I know our #RAF are keeping us safe, patrolling our waters & skies. I feel safe but know truly we are at war.

Great work, Trump voters. We've got a guy representing us on the world stage that can't string together a single coherent sentence, randomly threatens war crimes, doesn't understand the most basic concepts of science, and yet thinks he's in line for a Nobel Prize. We are a laughingstock.

Critics say conditions should’ve been attached to Palestinian statehood. If so, perhaps we should also attach conditions to our recognition of Israel? Perhaps we shd de-recognize Israel until it stops killing, allows in aid, and itself accepts 2 state solution. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
Israeli politicians react bitterly to international recognitions of Palestinian state

Gary Lineker if he could have any input into Match of the Day explaining why the women's FA final wasn't included on last night's programne would be appreciated.

As ever I'm grateful to John Crace for ensuring I don't need to suffer this Wednesday HoC interlude, she is a painful watch at best.

Strikes me if Trump is making the trip to Italy for the late Pontiff's funeral he ought to visit Kiev & see for himself what war is doing to Ukrainians.

Anyone catch today's Select Committee with BBC's top blokes? I've always been a huge supporter of BBC but if ever an organization needs overhauling starting at the top its the BBC & while they are at it a few overpaid journalists can go too!

Strikes me BBC has lost the plot. Sending a programme reminder re Bermuda Triangle which was first shown 21 years ago! I recall watching it at the time but surely there's been an update?!

Sincere thanks to

From a cursory glimpse at today's list of proposed new peerages I note there will be strong competition as to who will be the worst dressed amongst the Tory women!

An interesting article re the Musk/Reform scenario. I was under the impression Reform are a limited company not a political party & I'm perplexed as to why they are being treated as if they were a political party? Can you shed light please?
