It is, much to our chagrin - but at least we didn't elect him.

I visited the new urban forest in Paris in September. An oasis of calm where I could rest my weary feet for awhile. Lovely planting.

I'm out of the paper bag too. Love Dan Brown books, also Jane Austen and Scandi noir. It's good to have a mixed diet.

There is a programme on our (UK) Channel 4 airing now as the State Dinner is in progress, called Trump v The Truth. Lots of clips of his comments followed up by the actual facts. Interesting.

Why in this Mandelson saga are we ignoring the elephant in the room? That we’re about to welcome and honour a man who was a great pal of Epstein and who continues to lie about that every day?

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

🀬 In one of Kyiv's districts, Russians destroyed an entire entrance, killing six civilians, including a six-year-old child.

Residents of Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Sumy and Mykolaiv regions also survived the strikes. There are dozens of civilian casualties.
