Sir Merv King sounds sensible in the interview deep in here. Except he avoids making the fair equity in national success point.

It’s sandwiched between some big bank advert about risking our home on the borrowing our kids will need to buy themselves a first house.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.

This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

Maxwell is getting special treatment in prison, such as, unlimited toilet paper and private meetings in chapel.

Maxwell has received additional privileges like having guests visit with computers, and warden has been personally helping Maxwell send documents and emails.

Some of the rules that apply to Ghislaine Maxwell’s fellow inmates at Bryan simply do not appear to apply to the late-Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous right-hand woman.

It looks to me, like all those US federal employees now going to receive backpay and resume work, will bring this back to the Congress and Senate well before food stamps etc expire during the festive shutdown.

Is the art of the deal about claiming credit for hot air and band aids?

It appears to be the first anniversary of me making serious use of where the Sky is Blue.

What a year it has been.

Highlight has to be today’s release of emails confirming Trump knew exactly what predators Ghislane and Jeff were (she still is, but that he killed himself to avoid victims testimony)

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

It’s apologising season. The audience for BBC output in the US is just over 40 million, not 77 million as I said. That’s the figure for the Americas as a whole. But the BBC is indeed the second most trusted news source in the US.- later.

Trump and Putin want to milk the BBC.

For all it has been manipulated by the last UK government, it’s worth defending.

In the fight or fold scenario of Trump’s letter, how did #BBCPanorama hit the spot and make Trump likely to lose yet again?
