Please PLEASE can we stop using the adjective "hilarious" in advertising blurb for a book or film when it is - at best - merely amusing.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

I'm delighted to see Kanye West barred from the UK, but I note all the outrage was about him being antisemitic - I've seen NO outrage about him being violently homophobic and misogynist! Even his 'Heil Hitler' song is more homophobic than it is antisemitic! www.reuters.com/business/med...

In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many. ICE has started going door to door in America.

Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king. Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy. Long, long overdue.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession. ●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed ● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years ● Sleep well serfs. ● Know your place.
