JD Vance got a kiss and a hug from vile, supine Meloni but then got brutally booed by the crowd. As was the Israeli team. The Italian people have spoken.

Stan Wawrinka giving me goosebumps. Age 40 and fighting to his last breath. What a fucking legend.

A thing can be horrific and we can acknowledge the truth of it without losing a part of ourselves in the process. Just as I did not want to watch endless video footage of dead Gaza children, I do not need to watch that video or others like it. You, an Average Joe, are cooking your brain on violence.

Exactly.
A defining moment for Europe. If it endorses/fails to condemn this flagrant breach of international law, it will have surrendered its core justification for opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Chuffed to bits with my vegetarian Christmas Eve feast. It would have been vegan, but you can’t beat a few dollops of Gorgonzola cheese in your risotto.

Personally, the more police I see deployed, the less safe I feel.
I want all Londoners to feel safe over the festive period, which is why there will be increased Met Police patrols in the busiest areas.
Doubling the number of officers in the west end has already contributed to cutting thefts by 25%.

This ferocious, all-out assault on women's rights has been years in the making. They mapped out every sphere where women gained autonomy - education, healthcare, careers, social freedoms - and are systematically targeting each one for destruction.
