So we have an interesting Patriotism test in the UK. Are you with the BBC or with a foreign dictator who wants to bankrupt one of our national institutions? Let's see who the real patriots are.

If Russia is not the one flying drones over military bases in Denmark and Norway then it won't mind us shooting them down, right?

The announcement about Tylenol / Paracetamol will cause pain only to those who believe the nonsense. Those who follow expert advice and can see right through maga will be unaffected.

Vacation Vance has taken his cavalcade of 20 (twenty) vehicles through the roads of rural, affluent Oxfordshire.
Is this what they mean by 'Government Efficiency' and 'Monopoly Money'?
And they drove on the wrong side of the road too.

Apparently anyone with the temerity to oppose Trump is funded by Marxists. I'm still waiting for my cheque. Anyone else received theirs? No, thought not.

Innocent people are being deported from the US. How do I know they are innocent? Because everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and these people have not been proven guilty.

Bought some new glasses online. Phew: they came with instructions. I'd never have known to put them on my face and look through them.

Brilliant from Man City's Doku and well done Nunes on the goal. Up until then a dull game thanks to a fussy referee and Villa's anti football for 80 minutes. Rashford was good for the visitors to be fair. Great win #CTID

I can now see why Liz Truss admires Trump so much - they both share a passion for tanking the economy and making ordinary people poorer.

Penny for Liz Truss's thoughts today? The one who celebrated Trump's election, after which he attacked the British people and made us poorer.

I know this is heresy but Pep's identical tactics of possession obsession football have failed three times against good teams (Forest, Liverpool, Real Madrid). We have to play quicker even if it risks possession.

Top performance that from Man City against a Spurs side who came back well in the second half. Doku is emerging as a real star and I'm encouraged by young Khusanov at the back
