@soniachoksi @C_Reilly5 @SahilBloom @MarketPalmer_ Am I missing something? This graph looks like loads of time spent with the kids - think I’m reading it correctly….

@C_Reilly5 @SahilBloom @MarketPalmer_ Totally agree.. the window is incredibly short.. they grow up with just a blink

"There's a devastatingly short window during which you are your child's entire world. Don't blink and miss it." - @SahilBloom WOW does that hit hard Look at the graph below. I'm 37. My kids are 5 and 3. Enjoying every second. And this is a great reminder! (h/t @MarketPalmer_)

@GeorgeHallMusic @SinfoniaSmithSq @theLCSmusic @waldron_michael @EricWhitacre Look forward to seeing you there!

Tonight to @SinfoniaSmithSq for a 1-hour concert by @theLCSmusic under @Waldron_Michael. A 1-hour programme of contemporary choral music, Transatlantic Twilight features @EricWhitacre, Ola Gjeilo, Lucy Walker, Morten Lauridsen & a world premiere from Edward Picton-Turbervill.

@TonyB_1997 @WarrenPeace_75 @Fiat__Justitia @DPJHodges @AllisonPearson Tony are you a bot or apologist for Labour? I’ve worked at major companies with stringent data policies, using WhatsApp and of course the entire chat history is encrypted and available if a device is lost or stolen. You speak with such authority but are completely wrong!

@WarrenPeace_75 @Fiat__Justitia @DPJHodges @AllisonPearson WhatsApp is usually backed up using iCloud. It does not have its own backup. Messages are not stored on WhatsApp servers.

So this is the sequencing: a) 11 September, Mandelson resigns b) 11 September - 13 October, No.10 start putting together strategy for dealing with Tory demand for messages between Mandelson/McSweeney c) 20 October, McSweeney reports phone stolen. All messages reportedly lost

@UnwinPaul I second that - been listening to it for years. So knowledgable and caring for the facts, the Ukrainian people and each other. I don’t know what their budget is but they get more interest and analysis into one podcast than many other well-known ones combined….

This podcast is absolutely mandatory listening. A huge achievement that consistently explains, decodes and analyses the war, Russia’s failed project and the consequences for the world.

@suzyglitter1 @MichaelLCrick To be fair it’s just as good with Paddy O’Connell presenting - both he and Victoria are stellar presenters

@MichaelLCrick The BBC top brass like it that way! First they cut the length of the programme & now the only reason it still gets viewers is because Victoria Derbyshire is a great journalist & presenter!

Newsnight must be pretty inexpensive to make these days. The programmes increasingly seem to consist of clips of previous Newsnight interviews.

@DuxVul @campbellclaret Yawn

@campbellclaret “I have to invade Iraq because it has WMDs” You should sit this one out

1. “I have to take Greenland because Putin is a threat to Arctic Security” But 2. Putin wants peace in Ukraine and that pest Zelensky gets in the way. And now 3. “I would like to have Vlad on the Board of Peace.” “Weird” doesn’t get close

@Kfclover635 @campbellclaret @Keir_Starmer Boring - I’m no fanboy of AC but it’s very tedious to see comments like this on an otherwise interesting thread…. And a question mark at the end of a declarative sentence “?”

@campbellclaret @Keir_Starmer At least he didn't fake evidence to start a war?

Prime Ministerial diaries are a nightmare and I am not a fan of dancing to Trump tune. But at a time the world is really looking for sane sensible grown up leadership, if @Keir_Starmer can be guaranteed proper private (in so far as there is such a thing) FaceTime with Trump he could do worse than get to Davos.

@KatMcKinley @JeninYounesEsq The guy's life was in now way in danger!! What kind of people are you in the US??? He could have moved to the side and then handled it. Who on earth just shoots an unarmed woman driving at 5 mph - you have no heart but you probably have no soul either....

@JeninYounesEsq She cannot block ICE with her car. They can ask her to exit the vehicle. She cannot drive toward an officer when trying to get away.

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus. It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her. ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her. Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

@mattvanswol @JeninYounesEsq You sound like the most unpleasant of people - lacking any humanity and trying to justify something that, whether right or wrong, is clearly a tragedy.... wow....just glad nobody I know in my life is remotely like you

Ok, let's take it from the top >“I’m neutral / watched it 10 times.” No you aren't, you literally attack conservatives SPECIFICALLY at the end of your post. >“Officers instigated.” Approaching someone isn’t “instigating,” it’s what federal agents do, especially to someone who has been interfering with their work, which multiple witnesses have said so far. >“ICE has no authority over a U.S. citizen.” This is just factually idiotic. Federal agents can detain/arrest citizens in plenty of situations,. >“Unless harboring… an undocumented” Very cute trick there, you skip over every other possible basis (obstruction, assault, resisting) by announcing it “not a contention.” >“Masked men with no authority → she had every right to escape.” Again, clearly idiotic. The woman knew they were ICE, that's WHY SHE WAS THERE. If they’re identifiable as law enforcement, you don’t get to ignore them or hit them with your car. >“Wheel turned right = clearly trying not to hit anyone.” She clearly DID hit the officer in the video. >“Officer had time to step aside.” This is sheltered bullshit and the legal standard isn’t your slow-mo replay from the laptop... the officer clearly felt threatened by her actions to accelerate into him and hit him. >“Deadly force can’t be used to prevent escape.” If a reasonable officer perceives an imminent deadly threat (yes, cars can be that), the analysis changes. You conveniently ignore that. >“She was escaping a perceived threat, not trying to kill.” Again: you don’t know that. You’re asserting motive because your whole argument needs it. >“ICE had no authority, so it’s more inexcusable.” We already disproved this. >“Conservatives are unprincipled and lost for disagreeing.” ...and now you give yourself away, just pretending to not have a political dog in the hunt but you couldn't help yourself could you? Classic leftist pretending... until they just can't, always.

@SwipeWright Why do you put those awful sounds on this video - making a mockery of this tragic event

I’ll point out one thing. At the 4–5 second mark, the car is in drive and the woman steps on the gas while the wheels are turned to the LEFT. Because the ground is frozen, the tires have no traction and spin in place. Had there been no ice, the car very likely would have head-on struck the officer standing in front of the vehicle.

@chelseaboats @LondonPortAuth @RBKC @ChelFulhamBen @twitoplac @Chelsea_Citizen Classic case of PLA not doing the necessary due diligence it seems

@BryanDeanWright @RepSpanberger Why use such aggressive language? It’s horrible seeing how people talk to each other here with such extreme and unnecessarily nasty language. Did nobody (parents, teachers, friends) ever teach you to be civil with others?

@RepSpanberger Hi. Former CIA case officer here. Donald Trump won last week. The American people have spoken. Loudly. So sit down. Shut up. And let Ms. Gabbard take a blowtorch to intel officers like you who have abandoned their oaths and become bootlickers to a treasonous Democrat party.

As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)

@thevivafrei @BarackObama Partner has so much more meaning than wife - FFS, why criticise a perfectly beautiful post??

@BarackObama @MichelleObama I love how you call Michelle your “partner” and not your “wife”. Any reason? 😝

Happy anniversary, @MichelleObama! 32 years together, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and friend to go through life with.

@LloydsBank as ever - 5 cashier positions, only 1 open. To quote one Lloyds staff member last week “I’m counting down the days to retirement the mess they’ve made” Nobody trying to sort out / 30 minutes queueing…. as if “Digital banking” is going to fix this….

@unboundedlife1 MGM had better renew this. Forrest W is obviously great but the performance from Tiffany Mack is incredible. The final episode was nothing short of brilliance - bring on Season 2!!

Emperor of Ocean Park season 2: Is it renewed, canceled? cartermatt.com/666275/emperor…

@FraserNelson This sets a benchmark in valuations of a modernised “traditional” media asset. Under your watch. Chris Evans / Will Lewis should be brushing up their CVs….

Delighted that Michael Gove will be the next editor of The Spectator and Charles Moore its next chairman. After Sir Paul Marshall’s historic £100 million deal, the leadership is in place for a new chapter. spectator.co.uk/article/michae…
