Julie Reinger said goodbye to the BBC today after 26 years. She had a very special rapport with the viewers ..and had lots of laughs together.
Go well Jules…

Why is Donald Trump crashing the US economy? Because he’s high on his own supply of fake news | Jonathan Freedland Addicted to Fox News and outlets even more extreme, the president finds justification for actions disastrous to Americans and the world, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Donald Trump is crashing the US economy - just one more consequence of him being trapped in a disinformation bubble. Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Impossible to imagine what John Hunt has been through. His victim statement is extraordinary and if you haven’t read it - please do. It just so happens he’s one of the best commentators of this or any era…

Fascinating …and like everything associated with Trump - truly awful. Worth reading

Special relationship is over for certain- but is the unthinkable happening? Is the US now Europe’s enemy?

On occasion, impartiality serves the BBC very badly indeed. Both Chris Mason and Laura Kuensberg asking Zelensky if he’d care to apologise for events in the White House.

Europe must assume the worst. Perhaps even a US/Russia alliance ..and work back from there. @lewisgoodall.com is all over this crisis…

For weeks, ministers and other British politicians have been trying to convince the rest of us and perhaps themselves that Trump is more normal than he is, that he cares about Ukraine and Europe more than he does and that is less inclined towards Putin than he is...

Just when you think Trump, Vance etc can’t get any more awful..they do. But I’m sorry to say - it will get worse.
The world needs to stop treating Trump like a normal person. He isn’t. He’s a narcissist- that’s the easy bit.
No, the question is more how disturbed is he? My guess is very….

Slowly people around the world are waking up to what Trump is- insane.
Presumably this is the kind of thing going on inside his head?

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."

Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
