Love theatre, #LFC, music, plus ranting randomly may happen along with slow running particularly in recovery from surgery (#wattbikeproton - coming soon) Words purely my own. Reskeet not necessarily endorsement.

Klaus Kinski Fitzcarraldo

Klaus Kinski Fitzcarraldo

This is what I thought when heard Kinski in goal. Except spelling is different. Shocking to take a keeper off after 17 minutes. The Tudor period is surely over. #Spurs

After the Trump onslaught, quite extraordinary that Charles and Camilla are off next month to USA on a state visit. #c4news

Been listening to all those commentators saying how brilliant she is. And she already thinks that. So here we are.

My mum's exactly the same. But then she will only refer to Johnson as the Twat so maybe no surprise.

β€œWe cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

β€œMassive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

My latest: "Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

This is going to be an early challenge for the Board of Peace to deal with.

Definitely Operation Epic Fury? Not Eric Fury? Both stupid and misconceived.

A Green win must mean that "left behind" voters forgotten by Westminster want open borders and legalised class A drugs. That's how it works right?

What strikes me about that result is just how far ahead the Greens were compared to Reform. Again an anti-Reform coalition manifests and it's not actually close

I mean I know we all thought the McSweeney strategy was boneheaded but now we have actual scientific proof of its lunacy

Well the "Farridge is right about everything, vote for us" strategy continues to work as well as it ever was going to. Starmer goes in May now?

Agree with Jonn on this - it is a monumentally stupid strategy which will only enrage those who find the Greens appealing, most likely increasing losses and making it harder to win back those who have switched.
