#BREAKING Whitewing regime of aging US ruler, Joe Biden, delays UN Security Council vote to stop bombing of civilians in Gaza over concerns wording may prevent future resumption of genocide. Move comes as court blocks opposition leader's bid to unseat the unpopular gerontocrat.

#BREAKING Anger grows in apartheid state of Israel after regime of corrupt strongman, Benjamin Netanyahu, admits that three people killed by occupation army in Gaza while waving white flag were Israelis, and not unarmed Palestinian civilians as earlier justified.

#BREAKING Fears of violence in ethnically-divided, gun-strewn, Far Northwestern nation of US as millions of migrant workers head home for Caucasian New Year, putting pressure on dilapidated transport systems in one of the world's most Highly Indebeted Poorly-governed Countries.

@GoetersFourTwo @PastorAlexLove Absolutely. And, in EVEN BETTER NEWS!!!!, batteries are included in all sales this week.

@PastorAlexLove Will these be on sale in the vestry again this year?

@NEOM But what will it DO? What will people DO there? There is no logic to this.

A revolutionary city with no cars and no roads, THE LINE will be connected by a high-speed rail system. This 170 km architectural marvel will be 100% powered by renewable energy. #NEOM

@BBCWomansHour @SamanthaWalsh76 @Emmabarnett To the non mums whinging about mums taking time off, do try and remember being a sick child. And if you can't remember that, reminder that you can take cheaper holidays then them.

‘This is not to pitch mums versus non-mums. What I would like to find is a solution’ @SamanthaWalsh76 says she quit her job in retail because there's an expectation that women like her, without children, pick up the slack at Christmas. She spoke to @Emmabarnett about it 🎧⬇️

@Telegraph Jordan Peterson is your goto? He's even more politically idiotic than Corbyn.

🔴 The Canadian psychologist said a Labour government would be ‘catastrophic’ but ‘highly likely’. Read more here ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…

Tory Policy : Illegal immigrants should be sent back where you cam from, if it's safe. ALSO Tory Policy :- Unless you are born and brought up in the UK and the country where you are an illegal immigrant wants to send you back to the UK. Shamina Begum is a BRITISH problem.

Dear @RishiSunak @lrobertsonTewks rules that prevent BRITISH CITIZENS marrying someone from overseas simply because they don't meet an arbitrary earnings target..... ... is small minded, mean spirited, unbritish, uncivilised, and frankly, disgusting.

@acgrayling Hope so. Might take a while though. And my money is on us never rejoining, but having a Special Associate Status (or somesuch) that basically is the same as rejoining without the votes, and some policy exemptions on some issues. Single Market and Freedom Movement is the key win

No 10 daren’t admit it, but Ursula von der Leyen is right: we’ll be going back on Brexit | Will Hutton | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@GavinBarwell Farage, Priti, Braverman, or Badenoch as Tory leader would be as politically smart as when Labour picked Corbyn. Tories should accept that next election, they are going down, and will need to take a long hard look at themselves if they want to govern again any time soon.

If Farage was Conservative leader, the current stream of moderate voters to Labour would become a flood. He's no saviour. The Reform vote is a threat, but surrendering to a hostile takeover is not the answer

De icing the car trick. Super soaker, use cold water. It doesn't take much water because the heat transfer happens at the interface. No chemicals, no ice sheets. And it's FUN :-) This is worthy of an @themonkeycage episode on home applied physics?

@quantick I'm 9 again :-)

@AndyBTravels @Renfe OOhhh :-) Did London/Madrid a few years back. Bit of a plastic sleeper. This looks better :-)

The 08.22 @Renfe AVE bound for Lyons departs Barcelona Sants. This train is a game changer for travel to the U.K. from Spain. Barcelona 08.22 Lyon 13.20 Lyon 14.00 Lille Europe 16.58 Lille Europe 18.35 St. Pancras 18.57 So allows for onwards domestic travel.

@NeilKBrand @O2 @Ofcom If you have been paying, in effect under duress, be advised that big companies really really hate it when people Small Claims court them.

@ArfurSmith That crowd? Madame Claude's would seem logical for that era...

Just arrived at Arc de Triomphe and there’s loads of us here! Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus are joining us for coffee and a croissant. Any suggestions where we should go with them?

@theAliceRoberts Tempted to draw the Venn diagram of "Valid English Language" and "Proper Scientific Terminology" but I posting a Bullseye on Twitter, not the best idea...

In one corner of Twitter, #spidergate is kicking off!

@jonholmes1 @MailOnline I had a company use my copyright. Mid 4 figure settlement within 2 hours once they saw the name of my lawyer*. *Friend of a friend top IP lawyer who said I could say they were my lawyer, though I couldn't afford them to do any actual work if the bluff failed :-)

Hey, @MailOnline you appear to have used a photo of mine without paying for it. Who do I invoice?

@JolyonMaugham It's not "pick a system that always returns what I think is an sensible result", it's "pick the least bad system". PR with high bars, or STV, beat both FPTP and the US system (which counts rural votes more than urban ones) re democracy.
