If that wasn’t bad enough tonight in the interval of Cloud 9 I was charged £32.00 for 2 glasses of wine. OK, ‘medium’ but that seems a tad excessive.
Utterly disgraceful. This is the subsidised National Theatre trying it on.

A shameless appeal: I really need a job. I've years of experience in politics, PR, public affairs, comms and journalism, but I'm open to almost anything. Edinburgh/East Lothian, or remote. Full-time, part-time or freelance. All leads, introductions, shares hugely appreciated.

Important 🧵
Thank you, Mr. Kushner. Those five principles are important. However, Moscow subscribed to these principles in documents signed in 1975 (Helsinki Final Act) and 1990 (Charter of Paris). The problem isn't agreeing to principles, but Moscow's failure to abide by them. 🧵 /1

Someone should ask the Backbench Business Committee to give time to this motion, or something like it "That Sylvie Berki do attend at the Bar of the House, and the House do hear whatever she is then disposed to say."

Kemi Badenoch bemoans lack of "home grown" nurses, she was in the tory government that tripled tuition fees, scrapped education maintenance grants and allowances that helped poorer students, removed bursaries from nursing students, imposed years of pay freezes on NHS staff.

First congressman to be a member of the Christmas Adventurers Club.

Governing by tantrum has resulted in Donald Trump holding his breath until America turned blue.

You really want to know how - say - the likes of Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz - or even pathetic Marco Rubio feel when they see and hear this...
This is Trump’s closing argument to the American people, and I for one am relieved to know we are fighting the scourge of algae no matter where we find it. I hope the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is paying attention.

Trump's pre-midterm event touting Reflecting Pool renovations was "bizarre," @DavidChalian says: In polling, "only a quarter of Americans say he's focused on the right priorities. And this was like exhibit A through Z of that."

Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.” Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it. He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side. 58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been. He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war. Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.” The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.

It seems awful to bring a negative note to a simply wonderful evening, but the failure to mention the event or the result on the @BBCNews last evening was typical of the closed minds which seem to dominate the News editing..very sad theguardian.com/music/2026/n…

Why is Donald Trump trying to kneecap Ukraine right now and force them to accept a terrible deal? Because Russia is offering business deals to Trump’s crowd, and Trump knows a corrupt peace deal will be harder to do if Democrats are in charge of Congress.

In 1830 HMS PRIMROSE captured Spanish Slaver Velos Passagera rescuing 555 Africans destined for slavery. PRIMROSE was part of the Royal Navy's West Africa Sqn tasked with anti-slavery duties. Between 1808-60 the RN intercepted 1,600 slave ships, freeing over 150,000 Africans
