@ZelenskyyUa Gracias pal

Today, we mark both Christmas and the beginning of Hanukkah. It is very good that in Ukraine we can celebrate such holidays with respect for each other, communicate, live together and wish different people the same victory—the victory of light over darkness. And today, together with the rabbis of Ukraine, I lit Hanukkah candles. This particular Hanukkah menorah was presented to me by President of Argentina Javier Milei during his inauguration last December. I congratulate the Jewish community on this holiday. I wish Jewish families peace, joy, and a prosperous future. May the Hanukkiah shine in every home, granting strength, filling hearts with new hopes, and deepening faith in the power of truth and justice

@Nigel_Farage The guy that punched Prezza didn't even get charged!

The man who threw an egg at Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 was found guilty of assault by beating. He went to prison. Victoria Thomas-Bowen was convicted of the very same crime against me today but was spared jail time. This is an undeniable example of two-tier justice in our country.

@jowilliams293 Things are better in Hungary I guess

Turns out you can't make the economy grow just by saying "growth" lots of times in a speech. And you can't make power from sun and wind on dull, calm days. Who knew?! Everyone, it seems, other than this wretched government.

@bswud Bromsgrove is booming but still a mirror....

Mirror towns are such a cool idea. How many times have you been somewhere in England where the entire town was on one side of the train station.

@DanNeidle Starmer will pardon

We finally know the name of the mystery taxpayer who bought a dodgy tax avoidance scheme and tried to obtain an anonymity order to keep his fight with HMRC out of the press. It's Frankie Dettori.

@10DowningStreet Keep it up King

This government is on track to deliver our Plan for Change. Working in partnership with businesses, we will drive investment in our industrial heartlands and put more money in people’s pockets.

The war in Ukraine has sent a clear message: Europe must assume greater responsibility for the defence of our continent. Today in Berlin, @NATO allies 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇱 reaffirmed our joint commitment to ensure Ukraine prevails against Putin’s aggression.

Yeah definitely mate

@knzprods @LilywhiteLab Nice win? We are talking about one of the finest wins in English football history. Have some self respect.

@LilywhiteLab Nah its a nice win. Thats just what it is tho.

Can we stop this nonsense narrative now that Ange doesn’t adapt? Please everyone put it to bed, he makes game by game tweaks constantly, that adhere to our overall philosophy. Quality performance, everyone putting in a great shift. Sarr has improved so much technically btw I’ve noticed. His passes are so much more crisp, touches much cleaner. Huge ceiling. COYS

@MikeBenzCyber Freak

I cannot begin to tell you how important the post of US Ambassador to the UK is going to be in this administration. It’s existential, and we need an absolute monster in there.

@PhilipProudfoot Pussy

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd have liked at least a parliamentary debate on whether we are going to war with Russia and wish to risk nuclear annihilation.

@JStein_WaPo You gonna call this out for what it is?

So any questions?

🚨🚨Musk, Ramaswamy today gave us first "DOGE" roadmap; as I understand the key steps...: 1) Put DOGE ppl at each U.S. agency, then use "advanced technology" (AI?) to have them identify "thousands" of regulations to cut across government 2) Give Trump a list of "thousands" of regs to cut across the government, & have him approve their elimination 3) Identify "the minimum number of employees" necessary to maintain each agency's core function, which should be lower once 2 is complete. (NB: Musk oversaw ~80% reduction in X headcount) 4) Cut the federal employees - Musk/Ramaswamy call for for severance packages/ "incentives for early retirement," but we have no details 5) Cut programs where where Congress's specific spending authorization has lapsed (This category includes VA health care, NASA, antipoverty programs) 6) Approve a "temporary suspension of payments" amid "large-scale audits" (Details, specifics hugely unclear) 7) Assert POTUS authority to stop spending w/o Congressional approval by challenging 1974 budget law on impoundments All seems to be *w/o Congress* Fight whatever you need to in courts washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…

@ALifeViaALens First hour is excellent

Watching #DieAnotherDay, a film derided for all the right reasons but still not without its merits. One of those merits being this moment where you hear someone groan "steady on" as Bond and Graves start their destructive sword fight.

Skill sports like snooker, archery, shooting & darts have their own doping issues. Usually, it's calming drugs or drugs that add focus such as valium, beta blockers or ADHD medication. Alex Higgins avoided a test in the 1986 WC by headbutting the tournament director.

@Grimezsz Two bangers 12 years ago was not worth this drivel being pumped into my timeline
