I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

Good lawyers present their clients with options. They do not let the client demand unreasonable tactics. It’s an attorney-client relationship. Not a client dictatorship.

That said, these folks were driving the bus with Trump. They weren’t hapless bystanders. They attacked democracy; now they pay.

Matt Goodwin posting on twitter having a go at Waterstones saying…

“Hey @Waterstones. Where's Suicide of a Nation?
Weird how the No.1 paperback in Britain never happens to be on display…”

Not realising he’s standing in front of hardback books.

This is Putin humiliating Trump. Lukashenko is just Putin’s lapdog. It’s fascinating that Putin can do this on the day that Trump does Russia another favor by extending sanctions relief. And as Russia still helps Iran fight the USA.
The US is pathetic.

Revealed: Mandelson failed vetting but Foreign Office overruled decision Guardian investigation uncovers decision by UK security officials to deny clearance before Mandelson took up role as US ambassador

No10’s account is incredible.
I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵

Seattle is further south than Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Copenhagen. Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam get more rain than Seattle. Bike commuting is hugely popular in hilly cities like Brussels; e-bikes make it a non-issue.

EasyJet passengers describe new EU border controls 'nightmare' Airlines warn of further disruption due to the introduction of a new EU digital border control system.

Hello BBC News (for which I used to work). This is not an 'EU border nightmare'. This is the logical result of Britain's separation from the EU and treatment as a third country. Yes, people are suffering delays. That's what being outside the EU means. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
