Always felt @davidmcw was so informed & reliable but he said on his podcast that Johannesburg feels like Gotham, “out of a Marvel comic”. That level of DC vs Marvel inaccuracy is unbecoming of the man. I’m halfway through “Money” & now I don’t believe a word of it 😉

@RestPoliticsUS @KattyKay_ @Scaramucci At this stage, considering there’s so much happening, can we just have you guys on a 24 hour live stream? Like a Truman Show type thing. Trump is probably giving us enough content. We’d learn more about skiing, and would get to see Anthony’s Lamborghini more often. Everyone wins

🚨 LIVESTREAM ALERT 🚨
@Scaramucci and @KattyKay_ will be going LIVE at 9AM ET/2PM GMT to discuss Trump's attacks on Iran.

What an utterly disgraceful decision. Yet again, two fingers to doctors, two fingers to the babies in their care.

Either they’re invading Antarctica or he thinks penguins live in Greenland. Both scenarios are worrying.

The #NobelPeacePrize medal.
It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other’s shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years.
Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well‑known case is Dmitry Muratov’s medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine.
And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway’s first Peace Prize laureate.
But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: “Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.”
A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.

@susie_dent @hayfestival When I was a kid, a boutique was a boot-ee-queue.

Thank you to the lovely audience member at @hayfestival who shared that her daughter had once corrected her pronunciation of ‘epiphany’ and told her it should of course be ‘epi-fanny’.
Which word have you royally mispronounced because you’d only ever seen it written down?

@NChildersMEP My Grandmother was a huge fan of President Childers. I think I shared this with @erskinechilders before, but resharing it now for @NChildersMEP to see - this was one of Nan's favourite keepsakes:

Gosh! My Grandfather, Erskine’s Great- Grandfather died by execution on November 1922. There is intergenerational trauma in this family. Until recently there were no words in the language for this. Resilience cracks sometimes. I found a psychotherapist 12 years after the death. Then I became one!

@SDKelliher97 @NChildersMEP is not only my Aunt, but one of the strongest and resilent people I know. I don’t know how anyone handles that kind of shock, but she did.
