Trump fell asleep - for a full four minutes - on camera - during tonight’s White House media session. The monkeys around him had to keep jabbering to fill the embarrassing silence.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

"Labour is bad, the Conservatives are good, and we’re not sure about Reform. Crime is terrifying, but we want every gruesome detail about it. Hot tubs are a menace. And, wherever possible, we want a nice photo of a lady in a dress, please. That’s just the Daily Mail way."

Just 4 months after the local elections, Reform UK (RefUK) have lost 158 of their local councillors: -55 resigned -42 went Independent -28 defected -24 were kicked out -5 lost their seats -2 disqualified -2 suspended. Appalling record - and a waste of taxpayers’ money!

It feels like a new form of deference to the plutocrat whose views should be heard, respected and influential because they are obviously better than the rest of us. Rather than “here is an entitled ingrate who has done very well out of the country & now seeks to bad mouth and short change it”.

It is incredibly important that political violence does not succeed. The far-right mob that shut down Portsmouth wanted this outcome. If the state wishes to avoid more of these actions, it needs to make sure this RNLI branch reopens *immediately*, or as close to that as humanly possible.

I worked in a factory with a part-time lifeboatman once. His beeper would go off every now and then and he'd drop whatever he was doing and RUN out to his car. No-one would say a word, we'd just work around him, what with the guy being an actual real life hero and everything.

1. Twenty-five years ago, I was clerking for Judge Weinstein, who once had a perfect, unobstructed view of the Towers. I arrived in the office early to deliver the keys to the office to his newest clerk, Kaimi Wenger. His deputy, June Lowe, came in to tell me a plane had hit the first tower.

A reminder of the five-year jail term imposed on Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, for taking part in a Zoom call planning road block protests on the M25. And the lack of arrests when masked far-right thugs brought Dover to a standstill.
