Nasty. Brutish. Short.
The name "The West Wing" of the White House has now formally been changed to "The Wing". Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This summer, the background noise of the evenings in Highbury is no longer hungry seagulls, but the similarly plaintive call of stolen Lime bikes, which go by every minute or so.

Finally, finally, #5 is gone. Both he and club just ran the clock down and he's gone.

Now I'll just bang on about Rwanda until that's off the sleeves, which will just leave the Emirates, I fear that's a bigger job.
Arsenal need to suspend or cancel the contract of Thomas Partey. If not then a sale in January is a must. Whatever it takes, some things are more important than football.

Well done Trump, you've learned the names of some more shithole countries. Good for you. #TravelBan
worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news.

We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Wow, who knew? Turns out rocket science really is tougher than slashing government employees and spreading bullshit on X.
Elon Musk has promised one Starship launch “every three to four weeks” after his vision for sending humans to the moon and Mars suffered a fresh setback with the fiery loss of another mega-rocket prototype high above Earth

A group of Arsenal fans have launched a campaign against the club’s sponsorship deal with Visit Rwanda. Gunners For Peace have unveiled a “Visit Tottenham” satirical billboard outside the Emirates Stadium.

I'm going to get some of these printed up for the state visit
State visit for Trump? Time for us all to go full Janey Godley.

Why doesn't Trump just do the obvious and sign an executive order stating that the USA's official language is American?

What is Trump planning for the Palestinian people in Gaza? Moving them to a beautiful green place, does he mean Florida?

It seems to me Trump is playing 0D chess.

❌ Food banks shouldn't need to exist.

✔️ We should all be able to afford the essentials we need to survive and live with dignity.

A very important moment as candles are lit in remembrance of those lost in the Holocaust. We also light candles to remember subsequent genocides and all those affected by prejudice and hate.

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted.
Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.
