Trying to make sense of this crazy world one Trawl at a time! Trump silences the press so the press silence Trump. Europe prepares for war and Vance begs for ‘more time’ 👀 Link below 👇

Ed Sheeran’s support acts dropping out one by one in solidarity with Macklemore is reminding me of when the Match of the Day presenters all stood with Gary Lineker. Same energy ! ❤️

Imagine the good you could do with £72 million pounds. Now imagine what Reform will do with it. Shocking and depressing AF that two Labour Prime Ministers have allowed this to happen. The short sightedness is unforgivable

I’m at the point where I cannot understand anyone not seeing that Farage is a total grifter. But then I could never understand how people found Johnson ‘funny’. And plenty of people still think Trump isn’t a corrupt narcissist. Weird.

It remains hilarious that his cult will still insist, to this day, that Donald Trump is an "expert deal maker."

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Strange day. Some of the criticism levelled at Starmer was fair (Gaza) much of it however was a symptom of our billionaire owned right wing press. That said, he never managed to convey what he stood for & took terrible advice at the beginning. But he's worth 1000 Johnsons or Truss' &...

So after spending almost the entire campaign talking about Rupert Lowe and whether or not he would "gift" Makerfield to Labour, most of the British press completely missed the actual story of a massive Andy Burnham win

Got to love British election declarations. A Prime Minister-in-waiting launching his bid for the leadership of the country from between a man with a bin on his head and a man in a fox costume.

Why is there so much stupid about? Here, Sarah Pochin is asking questions about special forces (a no no in Parliament cos… National security) while, in the States, hydrogen peroxide is being poured into a reflecting pool cos the Emporer of America is displeased by the colour of the water. Bizarre

Anyone else feel hugely uneasy about this whole by election situation? For me, the main imperative is not letting mini Trump win and this feels like the left eating itself.

The King’s done us proud, demonstrating what wit, grace & knowledgeability looks like. But what will it achieve? Today Trump feels puffed up. Next wk he'll forget. He acts on whims, threatens civilisations in middle of the night, on his phone. If he wants to threaten UK in a few days time, he will
