Top 8 stories on Guardian are on the Epstein files, and Trump is not mentioned on the front page once (though is in pic).

This is what happens when you control which documents are disclosed and which are not.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

According to Keir Starmer, the New Year’s honours recognise people “who put the common good ahead of themselves to strengthen communities” with “quiet dedication” – yet higher awards went to party hacks and poorly performing executives.

Remarkable statement from the Prime Minister of Denmark, directed at President Trump:

“I therefore strongly urge the United States to cease its threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and another people who have stated very clearly that they are not for sale.”

There’s going to be a motion of censure at the UN and Starmer is going to have a decision to make.

Pretty much.

"Head of State immunity for me, but not for thee."
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Merry gentlefolk, it is time.

Today is the day.

Today is comma-mas.

Today is the day where we contemplate the correct placing of the comma in 'God rest you merry, gentlemen'.

And if we are lucky, we can have a row about it.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
