Trump: "These are sick, bad people. And don't tell me about us going after them. If anything, we've been very, very soft. I wouldn't be that soft, I'll tell you that. Thank you very much."

Well he can reduce drug prices by a thousand percent, so his IQ can definitely go below zero

Trump on Schumer: "I think he's losing IQ points with time. I think that happens. I hope it hasn't happened with me. I know if it did, you guys would let me know about it very quickly."

Many thanks to the gorgeous group who showed up for the lunchtime session - including from Brisbane. So many good ideas.

You have all given me enough material and ideas for three or four seasons - at least! Now, to mull.

Thank you for embracing this project. Love you all very much.

If all you ask from life is a rollercoaster of a book with good twist, a funny bit with a goat, and a memorable title, allow me to present "A Torrid Lamentation on the Dearth of Validity in a Mechanised Ethos, Volume 2".

No, sorry: "Baby's Breath"

My bad.

I applaud Michael Gove's fervent commitment to gov't transparency on intelligence matters, however newly-discovered it is. ~AA

Michael Gove
@michaelgove
Are we really asked to believe a single civil servant is alone responsible? I fear he may be being made a scapegoat. Why not publish the evidence, publish the correspondence between NSA and Deputy NSA, and have the NSA answer parliamentarians’ questions?

Public ownership of railways.

Greater Anglia services come back under public ownership today.

It now puts a third of all passenger journeys under control of the DFTO.

Dates for most other services to follow have been set and eventually services will transfer to GB Railways (following legislation)

Greater Anglia services transferred to public ownership

Greater Anglia services are now managed by DfT Operator Ltd (DFTO).

Excellent to see the musings of cultural commentator/historian/comedian Stewart Lee, gone from the pages of the Observer, have now reappeared on @thenerve.news. Bravo to the Nervers (nervous?) for giving him a platform. Lees' latest piece on burning flags is here www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs

What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

How much financial support has Nigel Farage received from Steve Bannon and his network of far-right, populist billionaires?

In this video, Bannon is heard saying he’d find a way to fund Farage — so how much money actually changed hands, and was any of it ever declared?

Reform UK’s Nathan Gill met with EU President Tajani to lobby him based on Russian Bribes.

Even then, Nigel Farage didn’t bat an eyelid.

Remarkable video. He had never shown an interest in free speech related to Ukrainian TV channels before.

Number of deportations the ECHR have actually blocked since 1980 - 13 (THIRTEEN).

Please remember this next time some grifting populist claims us leaving the ECHR (and sacrificing the rights it gives us in the process) will allow us to ‘control our borders’.

I am thankful for the support and services out there to help people, what ever there needs.

Let's all personally be an addition to that, looking out for and support those we have contact with when they themselves need that extra bit help and care.

Today is World Mental Health day.

Let it be a reminder that huge numbers of people have mental health struggles and we don't know what people are going through.

I personally have long running mental health issues which are managed well most days. But occasionally not.
