So let me get this straight. A US institution tried to execute Christa Pike. Twice! They failed. So, another US institution were called to save Christa Pike's life, so the former US institution could try and take Christa Pike's life again, for a third time... 🤔 RIP Colleen Slemmer

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

MAGA Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri, who called Jack Smith a “dirtbag,” humiliated himself when he botched his big 'gotcha' of the former special counsel. He looked more like Inspector Clouseau when he mixed up the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes women’s team.

@RobertJenrick 

The American Government has provided more information than Burnham has on the “major incident” at RAF Fairfood.

He seems more interested in Labour conference than doing his job and updating the public.
