Right….. I’m (finally!) going in for surgery around 3pm, so I doubt very much i’ll be aware of/watching the mighty reds later.

Hope the lads do the job! Come on Liverpool!!

Have a great day all.

It's a real headscratcher why Allison Pearson didn't get a single question correct when she appeared on Celebrity University Challenge.

This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

Iran's Foreign Minister says in an exclusive with “Meet the Press” that Russia and Iran have a “very good partnership” and Russia is helping Iran “in many different directions.” NBC News has reported that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East.

Today, The Business and Trade Committee questioned Trade Minister Chris Bryant MP on whether Britain can afford to continue 'straddling the Channel and the Atlantic'. The answer is clear, we have the largest trading bloc in the world on our doorstep: it's time to rejoin the single market.

Thousands of lawyers oppose jury restriction plan Lawyers including top barristers and retired judges urge the government to drop a plan to abolish some jury trials.

Just suppose this was a Tory plan. Or imagine that Margaret Thatcher had come up with the notion at the time of the miner's strike.

But it's now a *Labour* government that proposes to abolish an 800 year old human right.

We mustn't sleepwalk into this...

If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.

Talk is one long parade of presenters saying awful things and narratives that are disconnected from truth and awful people ringing in to agree with them

I dip in to GB News and Talk because it's important to see what they are saying and getting away with.

My impression is that both are pushing the boundaries of "acceptable discourse" well beyond the limits.

Stuff like this has become normal, and it's frightening.

The answer: teams Asnl have had to play to reach the semi-final* stages in both domestic cup competitions this season.

*-subject to them beating Southampton.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, Trump's war with Iran is terrible for Europe and great for Russia.

Fun fact: no Trump fought in any of the major wars of the 20th or 21st century.

That must be some kind of record.

Qatari politician Hamad bin Jassim:

"As soon as we declare war against Iran, America will withdraw from the conflict, sell weapons to both sides, and exploit our resources to defeat both sides to implement Greater Israel project "

Oil prices dip as Trump says Iran war is 'ahead of schedule' and will end 'very soon' After surging above $100 a barrel on Monday, oil is now closer to $90. Trump also says he will hit Iran

Why the heck respected news outlets are still spending their time trying to put a rational interpretation on a speech by a guy who literally doesn't know what he's thinking or saying from minute to minute, goodness only knows.

As I try to point out in my forthcoming piece for the print edition of Byline Times, Trump’s Christian Zionists are actually deeply antisemitic. They want Jews to provoke the Second Coming by fighting Muslims, and then they will be damned in the ‘rapture’ if they don’t convert

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

That sound you are *not* hearing is Donald Trump rebuking his pal Vladimir Putin for providing Iran with specific locations of American troops to kill them.

Instead, Donald is *easing* sanctions on Russia.

He is despicable.
