Brilliant stuff
Riding motorbikes is meant to be fun, and racing them should be fun squared
Something I wrote when I heard we were losing the last Brazilian Grand Prix - Rio de Janeiro - in 2004. Seems relevant for more reasons than that 🇧🇷😎

You should see them up close!
Pitch an unnecessary sequel:
Star Reparations
There’s something sublimely Badenoch about raging at a new design for banknotes when the war that she does/does not support is about to make banknotes worth a lot less
So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.
I thought I'd spotted a typo in our HR system the other week but, no, it turns out that (a) that is the correct year of birth for one member of my team and (b) 2006 wasn't 3 or 4 years ago, as I'd assumed.
I almost missed that in a video where the former Chancellor of the Exchequer talks about "Institutional Credibility", the video misspells the word "credibility", which kind of sums this whole thing up
This is really very good indeed
As John O'Farrell wrote in the opening paragraph of "The Best a Man Can Get":
"Being my own boss was great. Being my own employee was a disaster"

America was late to the last two world wars so decided to show up early this time.
Putin gets:
High oil prices,
Loosening of sanctions,
An EU that's weaker politically and economically,
An Iranian client state that's even more dependent on him,
A US military rapidly depleting its smart munitions,
A global surge in anti-Americanism.
Quite a haul. Even Israel can't match it.
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
She’s got a spreadsheet

Seriously America you put these idiots in charge and won’t remove them even though they are doing this. We got Liz truss out quicker than a lettuce can wilt a tiny bit . Muppets

Well, this is all rather depressing

A series of Donald Trump tweets from 2011-2013 claiming Obama would start war with Iran for his own political protection—much like Trump is actually doing now.
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to the disaster just getting started in Iran.
The U.S. is attacking Iran,
And with nary a concept of plan.
As the carnival barker
Takes turns ever darker,
He’s spinning as fast as he can.
Interestingly similar wording here...
Don't like The Wire!?
You're dead to me
These are Olena Udovichenko and her son Hordii.
A Russian missile killed them today.
Olena was a teacher in a Kharkiv school, Hordii was a second-grader there.
Last night, Russia killed 11 people in Kharkiv, including Olena and Hordii.
RIP.
I'll have you know I was a mamil waaay before 2012!
