The US is being completely marginalised by Canada and the EU. The UK must work to be a part of this.

When I say I am going for a haircut my wife generally says “What? Only one?” Or sometimes a slight variation “Which one?”

Harry and Meghan criticise 'extraordinarily reckless' paparazzi at children's school. Obvs different approaches to protecting privacy one wonders if they had been prepared to have photos taken ( like other royals) the value of illicit paparazzi shots would make this sort of behaviour less likely?

Opinion: Madam, the SAS is not Marks why do people like Richard Kemp refer to military rank as if a serving officer? This gratuitous attack on a witness giving evidence to an important inquiry is deeply unsettling, not least its implication that her attitude is an unacceptable attack on bravery.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title: Gentlemen! Are you in want of a wife? Allow our algorithm to assist!

Image: a series of yes/no questions for that lead to different outcomes. 

Questions include “are you rich?”, “are you dashing?”, “are you a rake” and “are you a vicar?”

Outcomes include “You win the most beautiful daughter of the richest man in the county!”, “You remain a bachelor”, “You marry a dowdy cousin” and “You rescue a 23-year-old from Spinsterhood”.

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

tonymurray1964 You see, Richard, your problem is that Reform is, basically, a bunch of horrible bastards doing horrible bastard things in a conspicuously horrible bastard way. In general, people don't like horrible bastards. I hope that's cleared things up for you Richard, you horrible bastard.

Thinking of all those former Man Utd employees who were doing the unglamorous behind the scenes work for decades, and then got sacked by Ratcliffe to save some pennies, as they see the same twat saying what a terrible place (the UK) it is they live in. What a wanker that man is.

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions. Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

Maybe the UK COULD supply half it's oil & gas from the North Sea (if the oil is suitable for our needs) BUT it would have to outbid all of the other oil & gas buyers on the planet to get it. It's not ours. It's the oil companies'. They're not patriotic, they're mercenaries. Sounds very expensive.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston: "That's what the lifeboat does. It saves lives at sea. That's its job." "And this is an international duty. Everyone who goes to sea knows, in the event of someone being in difficulty, you go to their assistance." The abuse the RNLI have faced is a disgrace.

Ed Sheeran appears to have lost all his support bands. At least he won't have anyone saying bad things like "Don't murder people" and "Genocide is bad" at any of his concerts. So he can stay neutral.

@R4Today and @WATO (Nick Robinson and Sarah Montague) consistently and rudely advance arguments about Union political fund and Crypto billionaires donation to Reform. This is absurd. Dale Vince said he donated to Labour to help it win NOT influence policy. Ignored by Sarah. What is @BBCNews agenda?
