I have Egyptian, Australian, Polish, South African, Canadian, Norwegian, Iranian, Irish and British born neighbours, and we can barely get down the road without having a good old natter.

If that's a Land of Strangers then bring it on.

Starmer’s meeting with Trump will be PM’s biggest diplomatic test to date Aides say prime minister will try to balance the UK and Europe’s interests while retaining good relations with unpredictable US president

ANALYSIS: Keir Starmer’s meeting with Donald Trump will be PM’s biggest diplomatic test to date.

β€œWill Trump still be saying Keir is a β€˜nice guy’ at the end of it? We don’t know that, but we hope he will respect him,” one aide tells me.

I love this point on my walk up the Tor. Almost there! As St Michael's tower reaches up to the sky, the birds soar below and all is calm.

This Game of Thrones quote feels especially poignant: β€œAny man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king.”

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

πŸ”₯ This is an absolutely devastating set of figures on the UK public's view of Brexit.

Absolutely damning. Look at each category one by one - particularly the economic ones. YouGov article on these data here. πŸ‘‰ yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Brilliant blue sky with white clouds shows above orange and gold autumn trees, which are reflected in a long pond. Just in front of us, the nearest bank is almost black, in deep shadow.

Who can afford longevity in a cost-of-living crisis? We all need a healthy diet. So why are politicians normalising food banks and allowing malnutrition and associated illnesses to rise?

"There are an estimated 2.9m people in England with malnutrition.

Hospital admissions resulting in nutrition-related diagnoses in England increased by more than 39% over the past decade. Malnourished children are being treated for scurvy, bow legs, rickets and heart murmurs."
