@Norwayrach I’m so very sorry for your losses, Rachel. I’m also an only child without a family of my own and, although both my parents are still here, I dread the days that will put me in your position. I’m genuinely sending you all my love and wish you strength for navigating what’s ahead.

I’ve held off posting this because it’s so unbelievably shit that i still can’t believe it’s real… Having lost Dad on 3rd April my beautiful mum passed away last Monday. I’m an only child with no siblings or other family so that’s my entire original family, gone. So brutal 💔

@sabsrush @hsdaily Thank you very much, Em. 😊

@reece_dinsdale You look great! 😊

Suffering from body dysmorphia is hell. After a gruelling Xmas doing 70 performances of Scrooge, & having made some much-needed lifestyle changes, I managed to lose a little bit of weight. For the first time in 9 yrs, I’ve felt brave enough to have new headshots taken. New me. 🤞

@grok @CassNova84 @layxsnv False. C does not break standard English rules in the UK

@CassNova84 @layxsnv **B** That's the one with proper comma separation in the list (including the serial comma before "and"). The others have misplaced or missing commas that break standard English rules.

Okay, where are the English scholars, which one?

@valuebax @layxsnv C

@layxsnv I am terrible at grammar. So.. I genuinely wanted to know the answer. After reading the comments I still don't know what is correct, and now I want to know WTF and Oxford Comma is?

@alexeades1 Done. X

Charlotte’s Brain Tumour Journey 18.2.1997 – 24.2.2016 Diagnosis to death: 951 days Before Charlotte died, we were sitting together when she turned to me and said: “When I’m dead, take my YouTube channel down. No one will ever be interested in a girl with a brain tumour.” At that point, she had around 4,000 subscribers. After Charlotte died, Miles and I made the decision to keep her channel online. We continued uploading unseen footage, talking about Charlotte, and sharing updates about the charity. Charlotte was one of the very first young people, back in 2014, to publicly document her brain cancer journey online. Without ever realising it, she left Miles and me a legacy through all of that filming. One day, I would love to see Charlotte’s channel reach 100,000 subscribers so that we could hold the Silver YouTube Button up to the sky and say: “You did it.” To date, Charlotte’s channel has been viewed more than 27 million times and now has over 93,600 subscribers. If you are able to subscribe, we would be incredibly grateful. Not for us  neither Miles nor I are YouTubers  but for Charlotte, who lost her life to glioblastoma at just 19 years old. Please RT With thanks youtube.com/charlotteeades

@akparker @TheAdam027 Because he’d made it quite clear in his responses that he had zero interest in such advice. Thus, ignoring what he’s said, no matter how “nice” the words used or the intention behind them, is disrespectful and conveys a sense that you know best. It’s just my opinion.

Bloody Karen! I have the utmost respect the strength of Adam's beliefs, which is why I praised him for them in my post. When you have some time, you might consider reading it. I offered Adam neither a lecture nor a debate. I shared the reasons for my faith in Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah, and encouraged him to consider them. When I encounter someone I believe is dying in the desert, and I know where there is a fresh spring of water, why wouldn't I tell him where he can find it?

I was rushed to the hospital and I have another bowel obstruction. I am deciding on whether to continue to seek life-extending treatment or to enter hospice. You all have been fantastic in your support. Regrettably, my stomach and body is telling me it may be time to be with Hashem. With love and gratitude, Adam #RedWhiteAndJew

@la_rue70 @TheAdam027 Wouldn’t it be easier to just look it up?

@TheAdam027 What’s a hesham?

@akparker @TheAdam027 Bloody Nora, why can’t you (and others) accept and respect the strength of Adam’s beliefs? He’s made his views about his faith quite clear and is only asking for support, not a lecture or debate about whose religion is the real deal, no matter how well-meant the suggestions are.

Adam - I'm sorry to hear of your health situation, and what must be very difficult decisions and conversations directly ahead. I am praying for you and your family now, for the peace which goes beyond all understanding. As a Christian, I appreciate and celebrate your faith, your faith traditions, and your place as a Jew in God's epic plan of salvation. You say that Jesus is not the messiah. How did you come to this knowledge? How have you validated it? Has this belief come to you via your faith tradition, or something bigger? Have you really spent time in scripture to find support for or against Christ's claim of deity? For me personally, my faith in Jesus was ultimately cemented by an earnest seeking for answers to the questions I've just posed to you. And having approached it from a scriptural, historical, philosophical, and evidentiary basis, my conclusion is that Jesus Christ is, in fact, the messiah promised and described to Jacob, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, and Zechariah, and who was prophesied in many other places in the Tanak. Adam, I know you must have many things competing for your attention right now as you process your health situation and its ramifications. But there isn't anything more important than eternity, and whether we'll spend it with God, or separated from God. Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Of course, anyone can say that. But Jesus didn't just say it; He validated it by predicting the time, manner, and place of his own death and resurrection, and then followed through with it. If you've been a faithful student of scripture, you know that God often validates Himself and His prophets through the use of public miracles. Adam, I want to applaud you for the way you openly declare your faith in God the Father as a matter of your identity. I share that with you, and have come to know this as a God-given impulse. I would challenge you to believe as I do that this impulse is a privilege, one that comes with a solemn and sacred responsibility to constantly deepen our personal relationship to and understanding of God, and encourage others to do the same. And so I leave you with this challenge. If you haven't meaningfully tested the origins and reasons why you believe what you do about Jesus, there's still time to do that sincerely, earnestly, and prayerfully. You don't need a rabbi, priest, or anyone else to do this; just scripture and some quiet private moments where you can pray something like this (in your own way): 'God, you know I love you. I want to know more about you, and I want to know if Jesus is the Messiah you promised to my forefathers. Reveal yourself to me fully, God, and show me how I can rest in knowing that my sins will not keep me from spending eternity in the peace and glory of your presence forever. ' I pray that you will do this sincerely with an open mind and heart to the truth about God above all else. There is a link below to the Bible app, which will give you access to New Testament texts where you can learn about Jesus. C.S. Lewis famously said: "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” Adam, there is still time for you to do the most important thing anyone can do with their time on earth, which is to get our relationship with God right. Accepting Jesus as the Messiah, Lord, and Savior is the most importantly step we can take to do that. There is still time. But for all of us, that time is short. Blessings my friend. bible.com/bible/111/jhn.…

@e_orendorff @nwhiker @dieworkwear She was the Princess of Wales at the time of the photo.

@nwhiker @dieworkwear Where is the Princess of Wales? There is a pic of Diana.

For most of its history, the Met Gala was a high-society dinner to raise money for the Costume Institute. It only became about themes and costumes about 20 years ago. The focus on celebs and spectacle has brought more money and creativity, but at the same time, public criticism.

@PeteUK7 That’s stunning!

Just wanted to share something that was close to my late Mum's heart. Her garden. I've been left with the task of trying to keep it nice since she died but I'm not in her league when it comes to this. As well as the house to deal with, this is keeping me busy. Here's part of it:

@shane55543 @DrNeilStone He is in the UK.

@DrNeilStone You have never issued a script! There are no records against you provider number - EVER! You’re a lying paid Pharma shill and a cunt!

I've been prescribing ivermectin for years Long before most of you had ever heard of it That a whole conspiratorial cult that believes it treats everything from Covid to cancer has emerged just absolutely blows my mind. The weirdest thing I've seen in medicine by far

@PawneeParkRec @socdemsam @m0w4q45 @3YearLetterman It must have been a weird school, because I know of none that has ever had such drills.

@socdemsam @m0w4q45 @3YearLetterman Well our kids had them every year until we left in 2022. Primary and secondary schools.

I literally cannot name one thing that Great Britain does better than America

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

The bandwidth sucked up by the Mandelson non-story is embarrassing. A minor appointment taken in what was perceived to be the national interest. Astonishing that the Westminster bubble is still obsessed but then tittle tattle started to define British politics a long time ago

@Iancampbell1967 I’m so pleased for you, Ian. Good luck with your appointment.

Sorry there were no updates yesterday but I had a personal day that l had to do. Look at today. I’m out. I’ve got a dietician appointment. I feel horrible and need to go home but I did it. This is massive after three weeks indoors.

Our media fixation with Keir Starmer is becoming a literal drag on the country now. As I write this, I can already see the replies forming below, accusing me of being a Labour shill etc. but, believe it or not, I am not. Maybe it's worth setting this out — I have no party affiliation. None. I'm not 'on the right' … but that's as far as it goes. There are policies and people that I admire across the Lib Dems, Greens and Labour. Conversely, there are policies and people I am vehemently against within each of those parties as well. There are some decent Conservatives left but fewer and fewer in frontline politics and I can have excellent discussions with those moderate Tories that remain. Where my line in the sand is drawn though, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the far-right. Reform UK and Restore Britain. I have no common ground with their populism — I see through the propaganda. This doesn't mean that I think every member of Reform UK is a bad person, far from it, but I cannot rationalise their top-line bravado into credible politics. So, with all that being said, I think the witch-hunt of Keir Starmer is distracting the public from some far more serious crises. Since the very day Starmer took office, there has been an onslaught from the media; desperation to try and topple him and his principal team. This played out successfully with Angela Rayner, and they have been vicious and relentless pursuing Rachel Reeves. I listened to Paul Brand on LBC at the weekend continuously comparing Starmer to Boris Johnson in terms of sleaze. Have we collectively lost our minds? There is no other Prime Minister in history that compares to Johnson for scandal. The elephant in the room — Peter Mandelson. But is it really an elephant still? Clearly, Starmer should never have brought the Prince of Darkness into his team, that was a madness and severe failing of judgement. One for which he has accepted responsibility and apologised on multiple occasions. The vetting process appears to be, pretty much, a non-story, despite what Dan Hodges and GB News are shovelling out. So … we should be moving on. Shouldn't we? Kemi Badenoch and her famously robust judgement felt not yesterday, and spent more of her diminishing political currency by pushing Starmer with six questions at PMQs on the subject. She was met with a well briefed lawyer, that, in all honesty, made her look a bit silly for continuing her defeated line of questioning. While this continues to dominate the headlines, other far more crucial issues are being missed — we're going to run low on fuel soon, the cost of living is about to skyrocket, holidays will be cancelled imminently. But mainly ... the cost of living is about to skyrocket. We saw in yesterday's inflation rise that food is already moving upward, if Trump's ludicrous war in Iran continues, then we're all going to suffer the consequences. Surely, this is a far more pressing matter? One in which the government should be fully engaged in order to help protect the public — it's number one duty. It is very telling that Reform UK are spending very little time on the Starmer issue. They sent Lee Anderson out to raise this issue, for goodness’ sake. LEE ANDERSON. Farage is hyper focused on the local elections, safe in the knowledge that the media is obsessing over Keir Starmer, once again. He's making hay while the S*n shines on Labour. Jeez! This went on a bit, sorry, but it feels critical to me. We are being led around by the nose by the legacy media outlets. They smell blood in the water, but I really don't think the story is there. Not yet. And while the sharks circle, Reform UK are flying under the radar, ready to swoop on the local elections [sorry for the weird mixed metaphors — it's early!]. Have a lovely sunny day. 🌞

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

@mepwebb @FlowerChildRF @RobertJMolnar @SuzieCGK Thank you, Mary.

Having spent decades in politics at the highest level....I know a total hit piece when i see it.....have done a couple in my time, not for my guy because he was awesome, but on others..... That WSJ article is a complete and total "pull the rip chord" by people closest to Trump....it is all over...Trump is over, lame duckery in full effect, MAGA is infighting and that is hilarious Hey, former staffer of mine @StevenCheung47 how come you have nothing to say?

@robbothegear @ABridgen Would these “lay judges” know more about the law than their professional counterparts? Judges don’t sentence in a vacuum; they have to use the law and relevant sentencing guidelines.

@ABridgen Which is why we need a system that allows lay judges to be able to advise the judge on his proposed sentence before it is passed.

🚨This is Lord Justice Timothy Holroyde. He REFUSED Lucy Connolly’s appeal after she was jailed for 31 months over a social media post after Southport. The VERY SAME JUDGE cut the sentence of Labour’s Lord Ahmed by THREE FULL YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences.
