Our replacement Volvo is coming along. We’ve a few issues with failed sensors but hopefully are getting through the repairs and into the upgrades. We’ve added a few accessories to make touring duties easier & now had the 20” Cratus refurbished. The 18” Pans will be back for winter soon #volvoxc60

NHS Admin are a valuable part of the team, without them clinical systems grind to a halt. They schedule lists, book appointments, chase contractors, equipment & orders. They are the unseen & often unthanked backbone of the service. To my former colleagues, once again going through this, stay strong

I worked with care home staff and still can’t forgive the government or the businesses that profited from the misery, injury and death the poor or none existent PPE caused. They should all be made to pay back the money and publicly apologise to those affected

Final changes to our #evoque involved fitting a full set of #climair wind deflectors. Next duty is hauling our caravan for our autumn holiday 😊

The White House is slowly, like a disease of gold, morphing into the Grand Kremlin Palace….

How our #Evoque journey started and where it’s got to. It is now very much where I hoped it would be… but… there is always the potential for mechanical gremlins in these 😬🤞🏻

Anti-Trump protestors on Sky News,

"We should not be opening Scotland or the UK to somebody with Trump's background"

"Trump is an abhorrent human being with no saving graces"

Just going to leave this here:

I love the Scots.

Over the last week there’s been quite a lot of cosmetic tinkering on the #Evoque moving away from the Brunel silver trim to gloss black. The final change was to swap body coloured mirror caps the gloss black, leaving the remaining silver below the swage line

Madleen: Israel warns it will stop aid yacht reaching Gaza Israel's defence minister says climate protester Greta Thunberg and others onboard are

‘Israel has warned its military will "take whatever measures are necessary" to prevent a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid reaching Gaza.’

Why not just let them pass? They clearly don’t have much aid on the boat… surely they can’t save too many lives for Israel’s liking.

Tax the rich.

Repost if you agree.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump • 2h STOP CALLING ME NAMES! I will not tolerate being called TACO, Ole YamTits, Orange Shitgibbon, Man-Baby, Tiny Hands, Diaper Don, Mushroom Dick, Toupe'd Fucktrumpet, Trumplethinskin, Diaper Don, Grifter-in-Chief, Don the Con, DonOld, The Lyin' King, Rug-wearing Thundernugget, Farty-Seven, The Orange Shitler, or That Orange Fuck! Don't make me throw ketchup at the wall, because I will. 1.81k 11 4.35k 23.5k 凸

This is such an excellent list.

Orange Shitgibbon is a personal favourite, Rug-wearing Thundernugget has a certain charm about it, as does Ole YamTits.

The ultimate problem with ‘social media’ is not the ‘media’ half of the phrase.

Yes, there are problems with algorithms, and with moderation, and with bots, and so on.

But none of these are the ultimate problem.

The ultimate problem is the ‘social’ half of the phrase, because people are xxxx.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

This is only getting worse as trump now stops all federal grants to harvard.

Back from our recent trip with the #evoque it was time to give it the first decent polish since we bought it. Baltic Blue & “Sparkle” painted alloys came up pretty well 😊👍🏻 Just in time to do it all again 🤣🤞🏻

US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos EU membership offers the stability the UK needs, whereas Trump’s tariffs bring chaos

Exactly this. 🔥

“US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos.”

Trump wanted a trade war. Now America is losing it Shipping from China has collapsed. Truckers and retailers are reeling. Even a reversal now will not stop months of economic pain ahead

🔥 What a title! "Trump wanted a trade war. Now America is losing it"

Ironically, it was Trump who said: “When you start a war, you got to know you can win.”
