@AngelaRayner I know no one reads @s, but if this somehow reaches you before your podcast with Michael Gove, you might find my deconstruction of his attempt to undermine the Ruth Perry inquest worth a look. difficultlessons.wordpress.com/2026/03/17/dri…

As the United States flounders with Trump’s disastrous war of choice against Iran, Ukraine is signing security/defence cooperation agreements with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. In 12 years of Russia’s war, Ukraine has proven to be the best security guarantee.

NATO can help you, dear @realDonaldTrump : 1. Remove ALL tariffs on Europe first 2. Make Apple, Google, Meta pay taxes in Europe like EVERYONE ELSE 3. Stop manipulating the dollar against our exports 4. Stop stealing our best engineers with your tax dumping 5. Let our companies compete in your market WITHOUT your rigged regulations 6. Pay back the BILLIONS your tech monopolies sucked out of Europe TAX FREE 7. Buy European military equipment as we buy American military equipment. Be fair. 8. Make sure you have stopped spying on our leaders (yes we remember) 9. Pay the REAL cost of the intelligence we share with you FOR FREE every single day 10. Let the WTO actually punish you for ONCE 11. Stop threatening your allies into buying your overpriced weapons 12. Stop treating Europe like a colony Apple made more money in Europe last year than the GDP of some of our members. You know what we got? Tariffs on our cheese. CHEESE, Donald. You put tariffs on CHEESE while Meta was robbing our ad markets completely tax free. And NOW you come crying about Iran? US, who controls SWIFT. US, who prints the reserve currency and makes the WHOLE WORLD eat your inflation. US, who has 750 military bases and calls China the imperialist. US, who told us to stop buying Russian gas and then sold us yours at 4x the price. You want help with Iran? FANTASTIC. We have a list. It's not long. It's not complicated. Even you can read it. Do the list, Donald, and we'll talk. Until then you're on your own. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

The first trailer for ‘Pressure’ is here, the film which tells the story of the most important weather forecast; the D-Day forecast.

In cinemas 9 September. #pressuremovie @StudiocanalUK

"When we talked, tears came to his eyes... in a way that really caused me to bond with him." Al Gore tells Tim Miller about a moment where Mike Pence expressed the profound effect Al Gore's decision to certify the 2000 election played in his role on Jan. 6, 2021.

If you can’t get enough. Here’s 8 more minutes of pure deconstruction of the regime. 😂

The current state of the Royal Navy: 2 aircraft carriers — neither operational. 6 Type 45 destroyers (our most powerful warships) — one operational (in Cyprus). 7 Type 23 frigates (less powerful, much older) — three operational 5 Astute class nuke-powered subs — one operational (in Arabian Sea?). Surely those responsible for this appalling state of unreadiness (a national embarrassment if ever there was one)— political, civilian and military — should be fired/charged. Their incompetence has effectively left us without a navy. Quite an achievement for an ancient island nation.

(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.

"I'm shocked, Anthony! Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew seemed like such stand up, decent blokes!" Colin from Portsmouth can't believe the findings.

"With Andrew and Mandelson, it just goes to show that no matter how wealthy and powerful you are, no one's above the law." "Apart from [Redacted], [Redacted], [Redacted], [Redacted] and [Redacted]. Seems they're above the law actually." Colin from Portsmouth is on the line.

‼️What is Starmer hiding on the Mandelson affair latest… I have been asking for over month whether Morgan McSweeney, who resigned from Number 10 for his role in the Mandelson scandal, has been handed a taxpayer funded payout from the Government. My parliamentary written questions have been entirely stonewalled. I’ve had enough 😡 So, today I raised a Point of Order from the floor of the House. The Prime Minister might wish to try and ignore my ongoing questions, but I can assure him I will keep persisting until we get the answers the public deserve. As is so often, it is the attempt at cover-up that leads to downfall in politics.

I'm still trying to get round the fact that in 72 hours we've gone from "he lost his phone a year before the Mandelson scandal broke" to "OK, he actually lost his phone a week after we strategised how to deal with parliament trying to get his Mandelson messages".

An outstanding speech - recommend it if you are a teacher, coach or anyone who is trying to develop others.

Lindsey Graham has a secret.

Remember when @realDonaldTrump had qualified people in key roles who were willing to tell him the truth?

I always find it strangely fascinating but ultimately deeply unsatisfying to listen to Rob Key explain away Rob Key’s mistakes as if Rob Key were another Rob Key and that the England Test team’s woefully undercooked Ashes preparation and dismally hapless tour was someone else called Rob Key’s fault

Kellogg: Zelensky is a hard ass. He is a lot like Trump, very direct. The Russia-Ukraine war is not a business deal. Putin has been the aggressor. The U.S. needs to apply the pressure on Putin to finish the war.

Trump was outraged over a $1.7b transfer to Iran as part of the 2015 nuke deal Now he is offering Iran a $14b windfall to sell its oil -- during a war "This is asking them to please, please, please sell oil because the market is going haywire.” nytimes.com/2026/03/23/bus…

Surely f’n loving cricket and f’n loving being England captain are just core expectations of the role? It’s like bowlers being praised on commentary for running in hard all day. That’s their job isn’t it? If they’re not doing that, what the hell are they doing playing for England. What I want to know is what practical steps are England going to take to become the best, fittest, most ambitious, most technically skilled Test team in the world?
