The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

The advanced level conversation on today's global economy. One that to be honest is barely featuring across a Europe in danger of being squeezed by the US, China, and its own incumbents.

A sense in Brussels that the UK currently has the status here if "please hold the line, your call is important to us and we'll answer as soon as someone is available..."

So the Labour Government in Westminster expect immigrants to speak English to an A-level standard. I look forward to them reaching Welsh language GCSE standard here in Wales....

For a crime as heinous as that, the guillotine is too quick and too painless.

In the vein of the above examples, there is also Cottage Pie ... and Caesar Salad...Buffalo wings...rock cakes... fairy cakes...prairie oysters...toad in the hole...

Bonjour!
Goedemorgen!
Guten Tag!
Morning!

I doubt I'll be speaking any Dutch today on a Paris shift. German can't be ruled out. I'll probably end up speaking some French with a colleague the moment I walk in the crewroom or locker room. The mix of languages and cultures makes e* very special.

Does the long hair hide the scars of ears long separated?

Has Melania joined witness protection?

"Yes your Majesty, my hat was inspired by the President's bouffant"

Whenever Nigel Farage is properly challenged, he reminds me of those 1920s burlesque entertainers, whose act consisted of swapping the position of fans or balloons, really fast so nobody could catch a glimpse of their fanny.

What a WEAK & disastrous Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been. After last night’s welfare bill vote he doesn’t even have the respect of his own MPs.
We need a PM like Boris Johnson.
Bring him back!
Even amongst other world leaders he was universally accepted as the BOSS!

Majority of Brits think Brexit has been a failure

"A new YouGov poll indicates that 61 per cent of Britons now consider the UK's departure from the European Union to have been a failure"

It'll go higher.

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

On Wednesday morning Donald Trump wandered out of the White House to speak in front of workers who were busy erecting two new flag poles that were given as a gift.

Never under estimate the ability of the US Army to do things they don't want to do poorly. Every facet of that parade was off the shelf army history script. They did exactly what they were told to do and nothing more.

One of the Dreamliners That Gave a Boeing Manager Nightmares Just Crashed Whistleblowers always warned that passengers would pay a price for Boeing’s tyrannical corner-cutting, especially with the planes shipped overseas.

“For 15 years, engineers and quality control specialists have implored regulators, journalists and airlines to take a closer look at the 787 Dreamliner.”

“Whistleblowers warned that passengers would pay a price for Boeing’s tyrannical corner-cutting, especially with planes shipped overseas.”

She might just be right - it's a very low barrier she has to clear.

It will be interesting if this photo is broadcast on any of the main news channels tonight.

Nigel Farage missed debate on Brexit reset because he is holidaying abroad The Reform UK leader, who has made at least nine trips abroad since general election, will return to UK next week

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Did he
Aye

Labour's 2024 manifesto explicitly states it will reset and deepen the relationship with the EU.
The sneerers and cynics may pile into Starmer but Labour has kept a manifesto commitment today.

Can there be any more irresponsible practice than burning carbon rich peat moors to make sure they remain clear for the ultra rich to play at being country folk as they shoot captive bred animals for sport.

Think if Labour want a better trade deal with the EU, then they should have another referendum to rejoin the EU. Because if Reform or the Tories get in they will simply rip up any trade deal. Rejoining the EU is the only way to prevent that happening. #rejoineu
