I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale when I got shot…”

Massive sympathy for Angela Rayner here.
Media/public pressure is interminable, debilitating, and often disproportionate… with ‘accountability’ and ‘the public interest’ used as an extenuating factor.
Please, think before joining the pile-on.

Donald Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize.
Why?
Because no-one deserves one more (according to him).
And because Obama got one.
In this video, I look at the the American president's obsession with gaining the attention and approval of five Norwegians.

I’ll be honest… it actually SCARES me that this is how a U.S. president talks about other Americans.
And I struggle to see how the country can get through another three and a half years of it.

Hard to forget sitting on a #London bus 20 years ago today, heading for Tavistock Square.
Not the ill-fated No.30, but not far behind.
Next thing, a phone call from a loved-one… “get off the bus, there are bombs going off all over the city”.
Thinking of the 52 souls and 100s more affected 🇬🇧
