Heard from my chum over in Vancouver today. Traffic going over the US border these days is so reduced the usual 1-2 hour queues are no more. The city of Blaine a popular shopping destination with Canadians is seeing many businesses close plus the ricochet towards Seattle is a reality too.

Deeply weird and menacing scenes in Minneapolis. ICE agents sat in masks and balaclavas in unmarked, often blacked out cars, watching local residents. They themselves being observed by a network of locals, trying to deter them from mounting raids. Profoundly abnormal.

@redcarclevelandbc.bsky.social Imagine how delighted I was to get the YouTube notification that the previous day's full council meeting was available to watch this normally takes weeks to be uploaded. However the quality of the volume renders it unlistinable! Please fix ASAP.

They wasted 14 years putting millions through hell. They deserve annihilation - political dinosaurs the lot of em.
Is this same Kemi Badenoch who was Secretary of State for Business for 18 months until April 2024? If so, why the hell didn’t she do that then?

The Smithsonian is now being put in an impossible position: bend the knee, or face massive funding cuts. No federally-funded cultural institution in America can survive this era unscathed.

Been lots of press/radio about it being ten years....ten years since Bowie died. It was a terrible week not only did Bowie leave us but also the wonderful Terry Wogan then Alan Rickman who was such a talent. All gone but never to be forgotten. 💔

Hi @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social according to a Danish MEP on tonight's Newsagents podcast there's a 1916 agreement which means Trump's plans are irrelevant re Greenland. This is good news.

The absolutely excellent James Mates, nailing it.
Reporter to Kushner & Witkoff during Ukraine summit: "I know there's a reluctance to talk about Greenland today, but what value do these commitments have on the very day that at the highest levels of govt in Washington they are talking about seizing the sovereign territory of a fellow NATO member?"

A very interesting interview/drive this morning with Paddy O'Connell & Sheila Hancock. She recently took her Advanced Driving Test something I've been promising myself for at least 20 years. As next summer will see me having to renew my drivers licence think I'll keep that overdue promise.

Another day with plenty of aircraft activity - so obvious with such a glorious blue cloudless sky. I know our #RAF are keeping us safe, patrolling our waters & skies. I feel safe but know truly we are at war.

Great work, Trump voters. We've got a guy representing us on the world stage that can't string together a single coherent sentence, randomly threatens war crimes, doesn't understand the most basic concepts of science, and yet thinks he's in line for a Nobel Prize. We are a laughingstock.
