The Man in the Stryd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

stop thinking right now

A powerful speech on the Nobel Peace Prize but I suspect it will send Trump into a frenzy today. Especially the pointed remarks about democracy and integrity.

England is now experiencing a significant Covid wave, after 10 months of relative quiet The latest Covid situation in England and a look at where NHS services are as we head into winter

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

Now listen, I’m no scientist/professor of public health or anything like that but I don’t think this is how it works?

BTW had Pfizer Comirnaty LP.8.1 vaccine this morning at Tesco pharmacy for £90

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake

Ratcliffe: No

Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space.

US deports hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador despite court order Their arrival comes less than 24 hours after a federal judge blocked a law Trump planned to use for the deportations.

US deports hundreds of Venezuelans "despite" court order.

Meaning, of course: "in breach of".

On the face of it, it looks like there is now a full constitutional crisis in United States, in that the executive is now freely ignoring court orders.

Crisis point reached.

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" - Marsh Family adaptation of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" on Trump/Vance

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today.

And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

We need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us. This may have been the biggest moment for European security since 1991.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Vance turns on European allies in blistering speech that downplayed threats from Russia and China | CNN US Vice President JD Vance vented at European leaders Friday, telling them that the biggest threat to their security was “from within,” rather than China and Russia.

Did J.D. Vance expect Europeans to take this eyewash seriously?

Today the US vice president vented at European leaders, telling them the biggest threat to their security was “from within,” rather than from China and Russia.

Free speech "is in retreat" in Britain, says JD Vance, who is part of a Government which is now targeting critical news organisations with politically-motivated investigations, while banning others from the White House for the crime of referring to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name

What an idiot.

This level of projection would knock Sigmund Freud off his chair.

European leaders are uniting against Vance’s “weird” speech to them where he attacked Europe and said “There’s a new sheriff in town.”

These little MAGATS don’t realise that outside America’s borders everybody laughs at their embarrassing swaggering and strutting.

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics.

Putin's best week in years.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.

The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

You think it can’t get any worse. But it will. Every day. Until enough GOP members decide to pushback (no sign so far); Supreme Court backs the constitution (not hopeful); markets crash; or American voters rise up.

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

Totally agree. Support farmers for food and caring for the environment. For IHT matters see an accountant.

‘Classic BBC’ :)

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.

With just a bit of succession planning, farmers can avoid IHT completely by handing onto their farmer children at a decent retirement age. The trouble is that rich land-owners are not in it for the farming!
