Trump is truly insane. Absolutely mad. He desperately needs psychiatric help.

Our fathers and grandfathers would not believe that they fought in World War II only for Europe to have to contemplate “appeasement” again - this time of its closest ally, America. We really are in a new age.

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States.

Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

Jeremy Bowen really is an outstanding broadcaster. He's a reminder that public service broadcasting can be objective and impartial without needing to be balanced - indeed that balance makes objectivity impossible. I imagine they'll get rid of him soon.

I'd recommend the discussion at 02:10:30 between John and Amy Hunt, the Queen and Theresa May, on the murder of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt.

It's a breathtaking insight into misogyny, violence against women, and finding a way to live through unspeakable loss.

Credit to Today for a remarkable discussion between John and Amy Hunt, Theresa May and the Queen on misogyny and the murders of Carol, Louise and Hannah Hunt.

I hope Kemi Badenoch will listen, and reflect on whether this was an appropriate response to the issue of violence against women and girls.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

BREAKING: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize, winning recognition as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”

People like Mone are surrounded by a coterie of fluffers whose living depends on "yes". Any "no" is an outrage. Criticism filtered. Facts blended and extruded as potato smileys. Similar to The Dictator's Dilemma, soon, they lose touch with reality.

My first time trying the Today programme in months. Within two minutes, I get Justin Webb asking "if Donald Trump has a point" when he sues media companies for unfavourable coverage. And then I switch back to Radio 6.

Fits with the story that borrowing the tunes of the radical right drives older voters towards the real thing, younger voters towards alternatives on the left.
