This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Clarkson is right. Brexit has made travelling to the EU with any kind of professional equipment, nightmarish. Carnets for cameras etc is a bureaucratic, expensive waste of time. But it applies to loads of industries, esp musicians/performing artists etc.

President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.

In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.

This is going to be a long 4 years.

Happy New Year

Omg look how close I was to getting it first time. Unbelievable!

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

Tickets now gone, good deed done. Now to go find somewhere for Sunday lunch to drown my sorrows.

Happy to give them away for free, just don't want them to go to waste @jonsopel1.bsky.social @maitlis.bsky.social

What a shit start to Sunday. My EV car didn't charge last night, so I can't get to Norwich train station. No taxis are available so I've missed the train to London. I was so looking forward to seeing @thenewsagents.com at the Royal Albert Hall. 2 x tickets available, starts at 2pm @lewisgoodall.com

Absolutely buzzing!!

Looking forward to it. Since leaving the BBC, do you have regrets or has your opinion changed now looking from an outsiders perspective. I've found myself moving further away from the BBC and even recently cancelled my TV licence! Are the BBC's days numbered?

When you get an email to say you've won the lottery!! But it's actually £6.30 😭

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

I'm sorry but I'm actually so proud of this:

Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.

On Christmas eve, the whole town passes around a hat to put in money for the snowman's bail whilst he's melting in prison. It was at that point I actually welled up a bit and realised I needed to get a life.

I just watched the Number 1 trending film on Netflix right now. The cheesy Christmas romcom is still very much alive #HotFrosty

The first Gladiator film is one of my all time favourite films so I was actually dreading this sequel. However, I actually enjoyed it minus the animals. It was clearly made for fans, plus Paul, Pedro & Denzel absolutely nailed it 🔥

I love that my very first bluesky post was about the weather.
