I'm perfectly aware this is by far not the worst thing he's done, but Trump's constant presence - day after day after day - in the lives and headspaces of hundreds of millions of people (billions?), in the US and outside, is so taxing. Every morning, we wake up and have to think about this asshole.

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.

So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying

You can rightly deplore the venal charlatans who sold us this economic suicide, but I also now blame everyone in our political class, including those in government, who continue to bury their heads in the sand and insist we cannot reverse this most catastrophically stupid error. Shame on them all.

Now the greedy conclusion of the Captain Tom story has been exposed, the media is conveniently forgetting its role in building up an impression of sainthood.

A disparity of 12 Caramel Swirls (14.3%) to 4 Green Triangles (4.8%). Delve deeper and the picture is bleak. Weighing in at just 8.2g each, their 32.8g contribution to the tin represents an even more paltry 4.1% of the overall 800g tin - Hang your heads in shame, Quality Street.
