Donald Trump stole $500m of oil from Venezuela and then put the money in his own personal Bank Account in Qatar.
Nixon got impeached for nothing compared to this blatant fraud.

My pension is showing as pending in my bank account but should have been paid in today. Is this a bank issue or is there another reason for the delay?

I know I'm nit picking but headlines and newsreaders say '...was killed in a fire'; shouldn't it be they died in a fire? Awful whichever way you say it but I don't think the fire set out to kill a person. @LBC @LBCNews

Sadiq Khan's playground claim that 'our fireworks are better than yours' (best in world) reminded me of Gavin Williamson's 'we’re a much better country than every single one of them.' 😆

I think I'm right in saying that the TV licence fee is not a matter of whether you watch BBC or not. It is a licence to watch anything that is broadcast live! I'm not in favour of it but it's misunderstood @LBC
