Phil Collins seated onstage holding a microphone. Text quotes him criticizing Donald Trump’s manner, saying presidents have historically been eloquent and elegant and calling Trump “nasty.”

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Now we've watched the far-right wave for a while, with leaders coming & even going, with all it means for the countries concerned, maybe now every country should make a very basic decision (like #Spain). Do we want to go down this path, or people have recognised the evil & idiocy of the far-right.

It's interesting that the typically non-commital statement by Burnham about Brexit has nevertheless produced a tsunami of pro-Rejoin statements from businesses, organisations and leaders across Britain and Europe. If Burnham squanders that, he'll never be forgiven. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"

Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

I'm astonished at how gracious the EU as a body, and so many of its constituent Member States are being to the U.K. I wouldn't touch us with a barge pole. "You flounced out? Stay out till you learn to be good members." De Gaulle wasn't entirely wrong when he vetoed our entry for so long.

“There are jokes about the Trump library,” Robinson quipped in 2018, “Because there won’t be any books in there.” For Mr Obama, reading helps to create “a moral framework” and is “a way of understanding the challenges of the moment”. Rarely have literary-minded leaders been so urgently needed.

#OTD in 1582, Western Europe changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar and went from the 4th straight to the 15th of October. Can you imagine the panic in the Xmas and Halloween industries?

The Julian calendar was inaccurate because it calculated the year as 365.25 days, which is slightly longer than the actual solar year of about 365.2422 days. This discrepancy caused the calendar to drift out of sync with the seasons, accumulating an error of about one day every 128 years.
