Robin Williams warned the US about Donald Trump and his links to Miss America Pageants and underage girls in 2012.

Really should have listened.

These are such grim times, I could almost despair. But today I discovered that an 11 year old grandbairn started the timer on his first phone (birthday gift) and is letting it run so he can find out, when he dies, how many seconds he has lived. I have just experienced a paradigm shift!

Why is everyone calling it "Trump's deal"? We all know he's incapable of negotiating complex deals. Why is his the only name we hear when we all know there are competent others, on both sides, doing the hard graft of making this work? Why are we playing his game?

Royal Society to debate throwing out Elon Musk One of the most prestigious scientific bodies in the world is considering expelling Musk after his appearance at Tommy Robinson’s extremist London rally

Mini-scoop: After resisting pressure to strip Elon Musk of his fellowship for months, the Royal Society is meeting on 1 October to discuss his removal – following his decision to address Tommy Robinson's far-right rally on Saturday.

Been a while since I had this much fun in the studio. Apart from during Mystery Hour, of course. Not sure they made this cut but there at least two occasions when I nearly lost it completely.

Today, Trump claimed not to know who Peter Mandleson is. An obvious & egregious lie but one which highlights why the regime is so keen to silence anyone telling the truth. On the current trajectory, he will soon be able to claim that he's never heard of Melania without any pushback at all.

The queen is the only one who doesn't look like a Madame Tussauds waxwork. Bless her, she positively ginned up and jolly.

A powerful post written by a doctor at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.
The government simply must step up.
It cannot be only left to Ed Davey and the Liberal Democrats and the other smaller parties to speak up against this racism.

There’s really no reason any UK government accounts should still be active on Twitter.
Its owner has openly called for the overthrow of the government.

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.

I stand with Diane Abbot.

A white man (starmer) banning a black woman BC she dares to define racism as an exclusive black person experience is really the highest form of racism.
