The latest cover of The New Yorker ahead of Inauguration Day.
My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.
‘We call it grooming gangs when it’s brown men and paedophile rings when it’s white men…. It’s dangerous because the message we give British girls is ‘beware of the brown man’ when they’re actually 40 times more likely to be abused by a white man’. Nasir Afzal on @lbc.co.uk just now’s
To sue for defamation, Liz Truss has to show "serious harm" (section 1 of the Defamation Act). The more you retweet this the easier it will be for her to show serious harm leaving her nowhere to hide when she doesn't.
You know what to do!
In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.
Ronald Reagan had them removed.
We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.
Parallel reality in this morning's Russian papers.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1638 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now. The headline reads 'Masterchef Crisis Grips Britain.' The cover is divided into four panels featuring Gregg Wallace in different roles. Panel 1: 'Celebrity Star' shows him flipping a pancake with speech bubbles saying, 'What a tosser!' and 'Time for just desserts.' Panel 2: 'National Treasure' shows him with Princess Anne, with the caption, 'Another woman of a certain age trying to pin something on me.' Panel 3: 'Top Grocer' features him with fruits and vegetables, saying, 'No one’s grosser than me' and 'It’s Wallace and Vomit!' Panel 4: 'Christmas Favourite' shows him with Santa, stating, 'I’m not naughty, I’m nice,' and Santa responds, 'No one believes in you,' followed by another bubble saying, 'Give him the sack, Santa!'

I think we have to be prepared for the same election interference he ran in the US to be run in the UK and Elon wants Farage in number 10. Don’t ignore this now because it’s coming.
Keir Starmer has been PM four times as long as Liz Truss.
Both!
'Weird' is still the appropriate word. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Photo of Times front page today. Headline “UK economy takes a hit after Labour tax increases” Picture of a laughing Jeremy Clarkson also.
A right wing paper that has *never* had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind.
What did you expect, Times?
You helped grenade the place.

And Now for the Weather Today is set to be agreeably alliterative across an assortment of areas although the occasional metaphor may cause some faces to cloud. Idioms will be coming down like stair rods in northern regions, while the south may experience the odd outbreak of similes, like an unexpected shower of arrows. In coastal, littoral, and seaside areas, synonyms remain likely. Further inland, sudden gusts of hyperbole look set to take your breath away and a series of scattered euphemisms will have you reaching for your wellies. If you’re driving, please be aware that tautologies of frozen ice are still affecting some roads, after a heavy and prolonged flurry of oxymorons. And finally – from tomorrow evening – expect to see the return of some light litotes, making next week’s outlook hardly the best. Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘And Now for the Weather’.
We've heard stuff like this before. Is it really different this time?
