The word 'change' should be taboo in election campaigns. It's meaningless. Losing a limb is 'change'. Waking up to a bus in your living room is 'change'. Just because you're sick of whoever the current mob is - and almost all of us almost always are - don't fall for an utterly empty promise.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

So do all these frog costumes being worn in Portland mean that We All Stand Together is now a more relevant peace anthem than Imagine?

Left: Boris Johnson telling lies about freedom of movement saying the UK had no control of our borders

Right: Aside from being able to remove any criminals coming from the EU, for a longer term stay, EU citizens had to meet certain criteria, if they didn't they could be removed

'Trump's hopes of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize were dashed after he wasn't nominated by the Jan 30 deadline and then again when he openly turned the US presidency into an oppressive dictatorship that targeted people for the colour of their skin.'

There you are, sorted.

Cartoon of man at a table with a book, a plate, a knife and a jar in front of him. He is touching a blob on a page of the book. Caption: I've got jam on my autobiography! Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My car makes exactly the same beep whether the outside temperature hits 4C, the tyre pressure has dropped slightly, or the oil is critically low and the engine is in danger of exploding.
