Aarrggghh!

The Italians are hanging our flag upside-down

It's factually mostly untrue as well

Is a falling birth rate a bad thing? (serious question)

At least he doesn't pronounce chorizo like it's got a 't' before the 'z'

He doesn't does he?

Why is the fact that it was a tweet always given such significance?

It's like 'it was ONLY a tweet'

Imagine she had said it on TV or written it in a national newspaper

It's the same

Suppose Lucy Connolly had said what she said on TV or wrote it in a newspaper - would that be ok?

The fact that she tweeted it doesn't lessen the offence does it?

So why do people say 'jailed for a tweet' like that makes it OK?

Brexit was a turning point inflamed by social media

BBC ain't what it used to be

There are bugs in the air and all over my windscreen - loads of them

This is of course a good thing

TV Chefs (and everyone else too)

There's no 'T' in 'CHORIZO'

Were you looking at him accusingly when you told him that?

Removal of the winter fuel allowance was either the right thing to do or it wasn't

It's popularity or lack of it shouldn't be a factor

I think Barry Lewis - ex conservative leader of Derbyshire council - just blamed Labour for the Conservatives losing to Reform on BBC breakfast

Only found through a random PB check at Boots pharmacy

Otherwise I'd never have known

Spent all of Sunday in A&E with extreme BP 210/95 never having had a BP problem before

All OK now but how can that happen?

A screengrab from Twitter. HeatherLhaney @heather_l... asks: “Why do you think we have so many more kids with Autism” David Dennis Jr. @DavidDTSS quotetweets this reply: “Probably for the same reason there are so many more planets in outer space now than there were before the telescope was invented”

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

No - in fact I'm not even sure I've met one TBH

I can't imagine M&B would want to go to the expense (thousands) of feeling a tree like that if they didn't think they needed to

They were advised that the tree was dangerous - so not their fault

Love Blackthorn. Hawthorn in a couple of weeks

It's not certain anyway that we would have had 20% tariffs if we were in the EU. Probably, maybe, but not for certain

I would not have put it past trump to have set different tariffs for different EU countries

Be not afraid

The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries).

The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia.

The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

Populist Simplicity in a Hyper-Complex World: Will Trump Overplay His Hand? Hardeep Matharu dissects what the now infamous Oval Office meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky revealed about the American President’s approach – and speaks to political scientist Brian Klaas about why hi...

Lots to think about here

Aw! I love Die with a Smile!

Possibly because I'm not 13

Butlin's Minehead...

Nice one - but I meant the one sitting on the right who thinks he know more than climate scientists - but quite clearly doesn't

😆

Who is that thick bloke?

Would be nice to think that the army would get the flag the right way up

Johnson was worse. And Truss

And Sunak for that matter

I'd rather have her than any of them

That's a rubbish union flag by the way
