"he does something to do with computers"
@itvpeston.bsky.social Key question is was that a rat or a mouse that ran across the carpet during your interview with Kemi Badenoch tonight?

This episode of "Trumponomics" was a very good listen.

Under the mildest of questions, Farage has nothing to say beyond "blah OIL blah USA blah CRYPTO" and wanting to smash up the BoE and the OBR.

(he's also super keen on "tech" but can't work his own PC)

Unfortunately, Trump has started saying "Iceland" when he means "Greenland" in his Davos speech. 🤷‍♂️

He's decided to go with the "Biden was terrible, I'm amazing" opener. 🤷‍♂️

Robert Wilkie doing a poor job on #r4Today right now of explaining how Venezuela could be an active threat to, erm, US universities. 🤷‍♂️

( Also talking of a US "hemisphere" )

BBC #r4Today can't say "Resident Doctors" without reminding us that they used to be called "Junior Doctors" almost as if the audience is a goldfish.

( But do they keep reminding us that "Andrew Windsor" used to called "Prince"? 😉)

Xmas time and Frosty the "Brexit negotiator" is back.

( "Negotiator" meaning he took a look at it and ran away ).

Yeah, that'd be great except the view of my photos in File Explorer is coming from some cache of my phone that's about 2-3 weeks out of date.

Phone Link, on the other hand, is displaying what's on the phone's actual filesystem.

"Members" of what?

Can they vote for a new leader? No, thought not.

What signal does this sort of to/fro send to the car industry and consumers?

UK should make some plans and stick to them but, of course, that's a pipedream - our politics is 1 step forward, 2 steps back meaning we get little done.

I like idea that Trump "loves London". 🤣

Has he been there? Walked the streets? Stopped in a pub? Wandered through the parks and galleries? Taken in a show? Ridden the Tube and buses? Done a bit of shopping?

Of course not, he's 100% clueless - he's no idea what London or Paris are like.

Not at all surprised to find that, having left BT a month or more ago, they continue to try and charge me for a service that they are no longer delivering and which they have long-since advised me has been terminated.

( how do these people stay in business? )

I've a feeling that a "Thanks for browsing our website" email has exactly the opposite effect than was intended.
