@DominicJMohan @TheSun Perverts, liars and cheats,' eh Dom? It's good the tabloid media has always acted with great rectitude, in accordance with prevailing laws and the rules of its own (pointless) self-regulatory system, ain't it? 😆

“I’ve been around the royals enough during my career to witness the obsequious deference and puking reverence which engulfs them..where no-one dare challenge or speak out. And that is where the perilous danger for this monarchy lies.” Read my column in @thesun today

Today’s New York Post is a disgrace. I speak as a former deputy editor of that paper.

@jameshipwell @MartinSLewis Vanguard's creditors can't touch customer assets if they go bust. They have to be held separately from Vanguard's own assets to be FCA compliant FSCS is more for cash balance protection over funds. They're covered by segregation rules instead

@MartinSLewis Currently 90% invested and will be for the next 30+ years. Mix of stocks & shares ISA (VWRP all world fund is all I buy) and crypto (mostly Bitcoin). Started in 2017 and haven't stopped since. The only way to keep ahead of inflation

ITV's compelling new series 'The Hack' starring David Tennant as Guardian journalist Nick Davies is highly recommended. Here he is in last year's documentary 'Tabloids on Trial' with a few other characters from the drama.

Random-reading to delay getting down to work led me to this, from a recent book review: “The genius of this war, but an old man made too irritable by exhaustion and a little too prone to take refuge in whisky.” Who said that about whom? No cheating!

@afneil It will end with Musk stomping around some godforsaken jungle compound like a demented gorilla, off his head on ayahuasca, bottling his own urine, the day's primary concern being whether to visit his 'baby mama' clinic, where 12 mini-Musks have recently been incubated. 💉🦍😵🧑‍🍼🏞️

@matthewsyed @piersmorgan @RicHolden You found a way to stop Piers Morgan from his continual interruptions: talk about a subject he knows nothing about (non-20th Century British history). The same applies to economics, where a basic understanding could have prevented @garyseconomics from running rings around him.

Debate with ⁦@piersmorgan⁩: is the UK a racist society? Absolutely not. But we need to ban cousin marriage, as proposed by ⁦@RicHolden⁩. Cousin marriage keeps some immigrant communities separate from wider society - and incubates block voting and other scourges

Saturday will see the fantastic climax to the jumps season with the bet365 Gold Cup and the battle between Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton for the Trainer's title. My analysis will be my final ever blog as I am retiring after forty-two years due to cardiac issues.

@afneil I guess the writing's on the wall when you install your wealth manager (Trump Family retainer Stephen Feinberg) as No 2 at the Pentagon.

I’ve now had the chance to look at this in more detail. Worse than I thought. It proposes the blatant US expropriation of Ukrainian resources, including huge reparation payments and claims to half of Ukraine’s oil, gas, and hydrocarbon resources plus almost all its metals and much of its infrastructure. This would all be done by a United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund controlling Ukraine’s “critical minerals or other minerals, oil, natural gas, fuels or other hydrocarbons and other extractable materials”. The Fund would be based — wait for it — in Delaware and effectively be under US control. I suspect Zelensky could get better terms from Putin!
Andrew Neil@afneil

Trump has escalated his demands big time in the new ‘deal’ he’s now proposing with Ukraine. He wants substantial profits from Ukrainian economic projects across metals, oil, gas, and other natural resources, as well as infrastructure projects including ports and pipelines. It’s the sort of deal you impose on a conquered country not one that’s supposed to be an ally fighting for its life. No way can Ukraine accept this. Trump wants Kyiv to surrender to Moscow and Washington!
