We must keep saying again and again that Trump's rhetoric about Ukraine — and Gaza — is a tissue of lies and fantasies. There is no plausible mitigation for the president's language and for his apparent personal sympathy for the murderous Putin.

Well done Royal Mail. First class letter took a week. The Week magazine got here six days late which means it is out of date. And don’t get me going on a tracked guaranteed next day delivery by 1300 sent on 15th January and nowhere to be seen. Terrible. @theweek.com

The final US election result has Trump on 49.9% and Harris on 48.4% – that's not a landslide, it's the second smallest winning margin since 1968.

Having read many accounts of Brian Jones treatment of women recoiled at the opportunity to buy Mojo with his picture captioned ‘A man of wealth and taste’ Although it is from a lyric about the Devil. So perhaps it’s a smart reference.

First post. What’s occurring ? Free from a lot of people being deliberately horrible I hope.
