“He is, of course, a serial liar & prone to espousing completely contradictory positions within moments of each other.” It is extraordinary to me that journalists continue to ‘analyse’ Donald Trump without adding this constant caveat. It does readers, listeners & viewers a grave disservice.

I beg to differ!
Happens to us all 🙄
God that's depressing!
A Peaceful Wolds Morning. 10°C and blue skies. Blackthorn in flower.

Morning from Marbury. Thankful for a break in the misty conditions. It’s a new day so we can start again fresh and hopeful. Hope it’s a wonderful day for everyone 😊

Both times, actually.
Were NOT completely obliterated back then.
But there was also no evidence they were building an ICBM now.

Hi Robert, quick question. Why was your leader in Mar-a-Lago, trying desperately to get an audience with the main proponent of the war, if there are “too many problems at home”?
Passages in a tower. Marvelous (and very calm) work by Egbert van der Poel of Delft, who tended more toward catastrophe. He was born on this day in 1621..
Yesterday we went to Salisbury Cathedral and a drive to Stonehenge last night. Visited a Hippy Camp close by for a laugh.
My photo shows a Roman floor mosaic depicting an octopus. The octopus is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) and has eight writhing arms with suckers and narrow curling tips. It is set against a white tesserae background. Octopus detail from a monochrome marine mosaic featuring Triton with a cherub and various sea creatures, including the octopus, dolphins and a cuttlefish, at the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum.
Spectacular octopus from the floor of the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in ancient Herculaneum.

Yup
Personally, I think this is more about trying to save his job in his newly-drawn district than some sort of moral awakening.
He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday.
Probably nothing to do with global markets cratering and oil going parabolic
She's such lovely girl, I'd feel so honoured if she allowed me to give a tummy rub. 😍

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
The Courts and Tribunals Bill will remove your right to a jury trial for serious criminal offences.
Toff magistrates/judges will decide your fate.
Chances of miscarriage of justice will increase. Working class, poor, minorities will be the biggest losers.
History repeats itself.
LOL
... and me, this is actually sickening
I agree, and I think it is quite sad, but can't explain why!
Of all the complaints against Starmer, the most absurd is that it's "weak" to have a Cabinet that doesn't just rubber-stamp what The Leader wants on questions of war & peace.
I'd take Cabinet govt - in which ministers kick the tyres of big decisions - over the kneel-and-obey model of Farage any day
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE........
Time to be more Spanish!
The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.
