Why Trump-Putin talks unlikely to bring rapid end to Ukraine war Even with Trump's direct involvement, Moscow's preconditions for a ceasefire in Ukraine make a swift ending to the bloodshed difficult to reach.

Is it because they both work for Russia?

Trump's sweeping tariffs take effect in another dramatic reshaping of the US trade landscape New sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs are now in force, with scores of new duties ranging from 10% to 50% on goods brought to the US from nearly 200 countries around the globe.

Couldn't they avoid the tariff's by getting somebody else to do the sweeping?

He's not wrong! Only been one other of these shows this year, and it was absolutely fantastic. The great Boothby classics and the most mesmerising guitar playing from Antonio.

a man in a suit is scratching his head Alt: Jim Carrey, in a suit and seemingly in a wood panelled courtroom, rubbing his head and desperately wailing (silently, natch) in absolute frustration. I hear you, fella; I hear you.

A headline on R4 just now,
re. govt plans to tackle illegal immigration via the Channel.
A mention of Tory opinion - okay, they’re still the official opposition. And who else, I wonder? Lib Dems, with their 72 MPs?
Nah. Course not.
The far right agents provocateurs; Fartridge’s ringlickers.
ARGH.

Watch out for the text scam claiming to be from the DWP telling you to claim winter fuel payments or you'll lose them. You don't have to claim, they're paid automatically.

I try not to hate anybody, but the wankers sending these texts out trying to rob vulnerable people - them. I fucking hate them.
