Dutch MEP Reinier van Lanschot called on Europe to stop buying Russian gas, transfer frozen Russian assets to Ukraine and establish a no-fly zone over western Ukraine. “Ukraine is helping us, but we don’t say thank you enough,” he said. #Ukraine

Spent most of today reviewing the businesses co2 emissions. And our approach to achieving net zero in the UK sums up all we are good at in 2026. Bureaucracy. If we were serious about net zero (reader we are not), companies would not need to record all this data. 🧵

I thought the point of an appeal was to present ‘new’ evidence? If Man City have the evidence they claim, why didn’t they submit it before? A panel reviewed the evidence and reached a decision. Game over.

Iran was involved in the Fairford incident? Only if they were briefed by Omid Djalili. Absolute jokers.

60% of the public say Brexit has caused more harm than good. 40% of people must therefore struggle to tie their shoelaces in the morning… Seriously, can anyone name a single upside? Anyone?

‘For views on Andy Burnham’s speech we’ve come to a food bank in Hull.’ And there ladies and gents is Britain in a nutshell. Food banks. In the supposed fifth richest country on earth. Make it make sense.

Wealth does not evaporate. Countries are massively indebted because a very few people are hoarding vast sums of wealth. Built on unfair wages, disruption without regulation and complex debt structures which avoid taxation. If we do not address this, all else is commentary.

Rather than doing away with any triple lock we should have one for: All government benefits. All salaries. It’s the only way to ensure that our standard of living always keeps pace with inflation.

Let’s not ignore that the vast bulk of the cost of fuel in the UK is tax. And not only that, it’s tax on tax. VAT is charged on the whole cost of fuel in the UK, including VAT on the duty. Bring it down now to boost business. No one will drive more. We’ll simply be able to afford driving.

I wish politicians the world over would shut up about ‘working families.’ You need to deliver for everyone. Single people. Retired people. Children. The chronically unwell. Businesses. Workers. And families.

Just heard the sad news that John Lowe died. John was one of my late father-in-law’s clients and was an incredible judge of a horse. He tipped us Love Divine to win the Oaks before she’d set foot on a racecourse. Along with many others.

I’ve been watching TV for 50 years. And in that time with no word of a lie I can’t think of anything that’s made me laugh and cry as much as Ted Lasso. We’re in a Golden Age of television. Streaming has delivered better budgets which begets better talent and better writers. That’s just a fact.

Following #SouthamptonFC’s treatment, appropriate sanctions for #MCFC are: 1. Removal from the record books of all competition wins during the period in question. 2. Exclusion from all major competitions for a minimum period of five years. 3. On return, relegation to League Two. I’m serious.

Watched #Anora again. First time around, knowing nothing about it, I watched it with my elder daughter. Who, after 20 minutes, asked if it was directed by a 14 yr old boy. And I wondered how the hell it won an Oscar. Which I still do. But it’s better and deeper (and sadder) for watching twice.

I do hope the MOD were listening when Jim Ratcliffe said he’d given up on the UK. What with him trying to sell Grenadiers to the British army.

It’s a difficult situation in betting shops where the bookmakers prioritised machines and virtual sports to fleece people who can’t afford to gamble… And racing let them. You reap what you sow.

I’m bored. Of hearing politician after politician talk about the strain on the public purse. While simultaneously presiding over the largest wealth accumulation in history. Never in the field of human conflict have so few owned so much to the many.

#shelter on Amazon is a classic Jason Statham. Nothing new. We’ve seen it all before. The usual tropes. But none the worse for it. If tough guy action movies are your thing. I liked it. 7/10.

As good as #TheGentlemen was, Richie’s ##Intothegrey movie on prime was really weak. Didn’t make the most of a good cast. Just a bit ‘meh’ - lacking any real drama or emotion.

I’m sure Pressure is a good film. But I can’t get excited about it knowing that we delayed D-Day by one day because of weather. It seems the most British film you could make. I mean we knew the outcome of Dunkirk but it was a spectacle.

Democracy. Your neighbour gets to decide your financial circumstances and whether you can live and move freely around the continent where you live. Neither of you gets to decide if you can die with dignity.

If I’m not laughing at #TedLasso I’m crying because of it. Great stories have always been about characters. You rarely remember a plot but you remember great characters. They feel like friends.

This season of #Reacher was so great… Until episode 7. When we had a long period of exposition to explain the convoluted plot. I don’t recall the book being so complex: and it certainly didn’t include AI. It’s a shame: you don’t need complexity for compelling drama.

If you’re enjoying #JackReacher you’ll love my novel ‘The Killing Fraternity’ which you can order on Amazon or, because it has an ISBN number (see photo), you can order it from your local bookshop.

While my wife is away this weekend, what have we learned? 1. Gladiator 2 is woeful. The plot makes no sense. Man seeks revenge against Romans who murdered his wife by liberating Rome? 🤷‍♂️ 2. The new #GrandTour is ok. Very much ok. Francis is excellent. Especially if you just enjoy it for what it is.
