Besides the point of your point adjacent point but... how do people get into the back bedroom? Is that where The Other Twin lives?

I thought Edward Luce was good on this today. Could resonate with enough of the base to make more turn away from him. But side with impeachment... seems a bit unlikely? Hitched too much to the Trump wagon to see it all collapse in a heap surely?

You’ll need some serious amounts of sawdust otherwise it’ll be a major slip hazard. Or perhaps you could use the slick platform surface to luge off the platform people who don’t take off their bulky rucksacks in crowded carriages?

Even still, I had to actively look on skyscanner for days when there are flights with a stopover. And even then I got offered Helsinki before I gave up trying to find a London stop

The UK government will get no acknowledgement from its left-wing critics that it is standing up the Trump Administration here and doing absolutely the right thing. If we had a Reform/Tory government this would not be happening.

a tweet from 2020: 

(james bond being beaten up by a goon)
GOON: bond you will maintain continuity
BOND: Never
GOON: the year is 2020 and you're roughly forty five, you were born around 1975
BOND: *spits out blood* i was a sea captain in world war two and i've been to space
GOON: you son of a bitch

I tried to force Skyscanner to take me from Dublin to Paris via London and it gave me a stop in Helsinki before it gave me London. It's a very strange thing to do, no doubt about it.

If ever there was a time for a referral to Arkel versus Presdram this is it. People would pay their license fee twice over to see it.

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.

Latest Army general to be jammed up over alleged wokeness is Pat Work, who led the Ranger company that fast-roped into the Korengal to recover the bodies during Operation Red Wings and was the 82nd brigade commander who dug ISIS out of Mosul
