A disastrous consequence of a culture reserving its greatest rewards for commentators with the most pungently expressed opinions is how hard it becomes for them to climb down. By rights, *everybody* writing or speaking in the national interest should be horrified & outraged by Trump’s attacks on us.

Putin bragged to foreign journalists that his forces had taken the Ukrainian city of Kupiansk. President Zelenskyy showed up instead and showed the world that Russia wasn't even there.

I spotted the first Christmas goods in some shops in August. Everywhere there are Christmas trees, lights, and jumpers. The "Christmas is cancelled" folks are deranged.

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔
So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them.
A masterclass in hypocrisy!

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Trump has never really achieved much. He's only rich because he inherited a fortune.
His Art of the Deal brilliance is a myth, and all the things he's famous for, including that book and The Apprentice were made by other people.
His craving for prizes represents a desperate need for validation.

The *only* way Truss has found to cope with her catastrophic public failure is to seek comfort in the deeply deranged and pernicious myths of the far right. She’s now one of their useful idiots. Which allows her to cling on to her self-regard.
