Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Today I am also launching #GladdersPresents My annual fundraising for local animal charities. Please help a charity near you by donating food, toys, beds, treats or cat litter. Over the years, many charities have benefitted and I will share some photos today of donations from previous appeals.

The irony is rich.
Wouldn’t it be great if the BBC went after the rich flouting the rules in the same way that they go after “illegal” immigrants?

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

As temperatures drop, our phone lines light up with community members worried about stray and community cats. While it is wonderful that people care, rescues & shelters everywhere are at capacity. However, there are simple ways you can help outdoor cats stay safe and warm this winter.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.
