As a commentator you have to follow the pictures the audience is watching. The cameras move from tight to wide shot & you have to adjust accordingly. Can’t speak for others but it was a lesson taught to me by the best-in-business I’ve worked with, George Hamilton. That’s the job.

Mr. Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of Russia and China.

‘Aren’t Arabs terrified? Don’t Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die? What FOOLS we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game.’
On this day in 1925, Tony Benn, a giant of the socialist movement in the UK was born. Remember his words as the US and Israel commit daily atrocities against the people of Iran.

(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.

The overnight post from the President of the United States is nothing but vile, racist filth. He should be ashamed of himself, if he were capable of shame.
Taking it down is not enough. The White House must apologize for this beyond disgusting behavior.
BREAKING: President Trump removes a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. The White House initially defended the post, then blamed it on a staffer. nbcnews.com/politics/white-h…

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.
Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war.
Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

It was always predictable that the richest man in the world would fall out with the supposedly most powerful man in the world. But I didn’t think Musk’s break with President Trump would happen so fast, or be so excruciatingly embarrassing.

Before he was Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost had heard about 16-year-old Donal Walsh who was dying of cancer in the west of Ireland. He was so impressed by Donal's deep that he wrote him a letter offering to make him an honorary Augustinian. And two days before he died, Donal was sworn in.
This is the story of a teenager whose courage and conviction inspired Ireland, and also a future Pope.

Paul Merton, "One of the plans is to have JD Vance run for President. He wins, and he makes Trump his Vice President. Then JD Vance resigns. And Donald Trump takes over as President for a third term"
Ian Hislop, "Which is exactly the method used by Putin to stay in"
"Not that I'm saying Trump copies, admires, and loves Putin"
