The Times, discussing a former senior aide: "Hampshire has said he and Andrew held secret meetings with the King at Windsor Castle to discuss Andrew’s future finances."

The huge issue is what Charles knew about his brother's misconduct, when, and for how long he covered it up before taking action.

Someone send some to the White House. Along with a colony of bullet ants.

Forget rejoining the single market. We need to rejoin the EU.

Life moves fast, and the people we love don’t always hear how much they mean to us. Take a moment to say something kind, send a thoughtful text, or offer a warm hug. Small words can leave a lasting glow. 💛

You never know how much someone might need it today.

The new cathedral in Skopje is just glorious. Only consecrated in September, and they're still finishing painting some of the amazing frescoes.

What wonderful news.

Still just a decade of construction left, though!!

KFC, Nando's, and others ditch chicken welfare pledge as demand soars Wingstop, Burger King, and others have walked away from an industry commitment to avoid using fast-growing chickens

When an industry shows it's willing to do the wrong thing to boost margins, the government needs to step in with regulatory action.

He'll just ignore the ruling, as he has all others.

Chap at the hotel bar is recounting to his neighbour how he's been married five times - to women from England, Norway, Bosnia, Romania and the States.

He's close to having married a full general assembly of the UN...

Our guide on our Kosovo day trip yesterday talked about NATO's importance: "If KFOR left, Serbia would overrun us within 24 hours."

Proving his point, when I posted on FB about visiting a new country, a Serbian friend replied: "Kosovo is not a country, it is the Serbian southern province." FFS.

I've spoken at our profession's major global conference at 18 of the last 22 events, including quite a few keynotes. I always spend some extra time doing touristy stuff in the States.

I'm not going this year. I just don't want to visit the US at the moment.

Want to borrow our seven-year-old daughter for your class? She would talk about books all day long!

A new study finds Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip killed far more Palestinians than initially reported. Writing in The Lancet medical journal, researchers found there were over 75,000 violent deaths in the first 16 months of Israel’s assault.

Very. And not sure I've seen a stained glass window before that features someone I've seen in real life!

Yesterday's events suggest this should be amended to apply to members of the royal family too.

To be fair, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor throwing Donald Trump under the bus in court would be a diplomatic chef’s kiss two hundred and fifty years in the making.

Other channels are available!!

@republiccampaign.bsky.social As a member: step up. The monarchy is more vulnerable today than ever before. You need to be dominating social media and you seem to have gone AWOL.

Charles needs to answer some serious questions. What exactly did he know about allegations against Andrew? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #Epstein

What’s happening with Andrew regarding #Epstein is further proof that the UK needs to #AbolishTheMonarchy. Right away.

"I'm glad the late queen wasn't alive to see this." @mrjamesob.bsky.social expresses his sympathies for the late queen, following the arrest of her son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but have we considered the possibility that the late Queen was not a particularly nice or good person

If Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is found dead before his trial, will it be suicide or more akin to the fate of Dr David Kelly?

#AbolishTheMonarchy

For 22 years, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was one accident away from being our next head of state.

Let that sink in.

The hereditary principle is archaic and undemocratic, and must go.

#AbolishTheMonarchy

The British republican movement needs to start consistently referring to the king as Charles Mountbatten-Windsor, just to make sure everyone realises the nonsense and dangers of the hereditary principle.

Never forget: Andrew was one accident away from being king.

#AbolishTheMonarchy

Michael D. Higgins had twice the gravitas of Charles Mountbatten-Windsor.

This is why hereditary privilege is incompatible with true democracy.

#AbolishTheMonarchy

Andrew held his position as trade envoy purely because he was the Queen's son.

Charles holds his position as head of state purely because he was the Queen's son.

Are people not spotting the link?

The hereditary principle is entirely incompatible with a modern democracy.

I spent today in Kosovo.

I love this video.

The USA may have the gold medal. But they can't have the country.

I'm looking on Oddschecker: I can't find the odds on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being alive in the morning...
