I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

Hmm. Longer war goes on higher oil prices rise and more diverted is America. Hugely in Russia’s interest to prolong this conflict …

Ahh - it's Hayden is it? He just asked us to imagine we were a ball being hit by Holder...but I noticed that...very odd hole he was digging himself then...

The new Green MP just said there’s ’no place in the country that the Green Party cannot win’. Has she been to Kent?

Ludicrously belated criticism of Andrew by MPs. The newspapers highlighted his poor behaviour for more than two decades. Where were all the Ministers and ambassadors speaking out then?

We are now in a position where the coach brought in to turn English Test cricket into a run-fest has somehow managed to turn the T20 side into a team of plodders…

Don’t know a lot about curling but think they should try to think more out of the box and go aerial with the β€˜Barnes Wallis’ - see how the maple syrup waterfall boasters deal with that…

So much for β€˜transparency’…still no-one knows how Andrew’s Β£12m settlement to Giuffre was funded. Where did the money come from and what did those who paid it know of what Andrew had done?

According to Private Eye, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was enthusiastically recommended to Tony Blair for Trade Commissioner by one Peter Mandelson. Prince Charles tried to veto the appointment but Blair overruled him.

The Hundred: IPL-linked teams 'not considering Pakistan players' Four sides in The Hundred with links to the IPL are not expected to sign players from Pakistan in next month's auction.

The ECB needs to sort this out. Outrageous

The King offering his 'full and wholehearted support and co-operation' to police. It's ridiculous that now, and only now, they are showing willing...for years they and government have refused to discuss details about his time as trade ambassador...

Follow the hush-money...who exactly funded Andrew's Β£10m settlement with Giuffre and what did they know of his wrongdoing when they handed it over? What previous complaints had been made to the Palace about Andrew's behaviour, be it as Trade Ambassador or otherwise?

What's the betting that-in a few weeks time-the Met will say they 'found no evidence of wrong-doing'? πŸ™„
