‪Weirdest political story of a weird era. I've lived through the entire history of "people on bank notes". I couldn't tell you who is on what & rarely use notes, rarely see others using them. It's like newspapers, I see a few in shops, rarely see people buying them. Same people who care about notes

Not sure that treating Trump as a rational actor does anything for the reputation of the Times

WHEN TARIFFS GO UP, WE MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
You, the people will just have to pay

A real leader would do it. So would a real man.
Trump and Hegseth are neither

Yep, but he has made the leap from "unthinking idiot" to "WTF Batshit" and is presumably being paid.....

Is there some global award, like the Oscars, for the "journalist" who can get the most batshit column published?
Or are they just trying to stop me knowing what is satire and what is comment?

Tunnel ......the HS2 team have capacity

I've been a Guardian reader for 64 years. Now I read the politics rolling news, Grace Dent and John Crace and try to avoid the "should my roomie in Ohio pour her water back into the kettle" and Chiles (may be the same person) columns, which seems to fill up the rest of the "paper"

Wouldn't a tunnel be safer, can't be bombed as easily?

Sometimes I worry that the Guardian is actually just a @privateeyenews.bsky.social spoof. Someone gets paid to do an article about someone in Ohio pouring water back into a kettle? We need an update on Pseuds Corner....Morons' Corner....Not News News Corner?

They are so important God has to go to their house, not vice versa

There's probably 3,500 potholes in St Giles

I think you may be confused. He is the Tory Councillor for walking and grinning inanely at the camera. Repairs aren't as important as grinning

It's Noem's spare

Howe has improved most of this team, dramatically in some cases

We were in LA just as they finished filming in the hotel we were staying in, so my wife got to chat with two or three of the stars, over a drink by the pool!

When the idiot-in-chief says "like never seen before" he means worse than Hiroshima, or Stalingrad?

They have Therapy booked, non-refundable

To be fair to Hegseth, he has the excuse that he was either an infant or drunk during the last few Middle East wars. Also, he's an inadequate idiot

I grew into active politics when "Loony Lefties" was a standard perjorative. Slightly weird that in my declining years most of the Loonies are on the Right (Trump, his entire Cabinet, Farage, Lowe, Badenoch....)

Like being "charismatic", being (or describing yourself as) "authentic" may or may not be accurate but neither are great bases for governing a country

It is a piece that deserves the word "excoriating", but is extremely well written and based on what appears very high quality research

March of the Inadequates

THIS war will be over soon, but there'll be another along in a minute

I watched Call My Bluff and Face The Music last night. Brian Redhead was on, being warm, knowledgeable, self-deprecating. A reminder of 1) when quiz shows weren't filled with "celebrities" squealing & 2) how Today presenters have declined.
Age or just good taste?

Trump and Hegseth are both as dumb as gravel, so any chance of them both holding a sensible idea is somewhat below zero

You forgot the "It will work THIS time" conclusive argument
