We may be weak individually, but collectively we’re stronger than we think and have tools we can leverage- military based, bond markets, overflight rights, Diego Garcia, trade deals, sanctions. Trump is a corrupt, authoritarian leader - we’d have long ago sanctioned his type in other countries.

I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

You can be as racist as you like but my god you'd better be a loyal racist
BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.
She says she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect" to Reform

Unusual cloud formation this morning, with the clouds looking like they're radiating from the rising sun.
Strangely, I'd not seen this before until last week in the S of France

First BBQ of 2026.
And time to start on the last 2 cases of 1996 wine...bought from the year we got married. They were better 5 and 10 years ago, but are still very enjoyable today 😋

A case of David vs Goliath at Wroclaw Zoo, as a tiny 13kg deer takes on a nearly two-tonne rhinoceros and appears to come out of the clash on top.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

New year's day observation: people out and about between 8 and 9am seem to be around 60% dog walkers, 20% runners, 10% cyclists.
Dogs very much don't care if/how you celebrated the new year. Your lie-in is overrated and there is essential dog feeding and walking to be done 🐕😋😅
