It isn't just the next four years. With House, Senate and Presidency they'll tear up the Constitution and there will never be another fair election in the US. It's 1933 over there now.

Unsurprising, but slightly disappointing that the #NYT #spellingbee doesn’t allow members of the Addams Family as pangrams. I did find a more pungent one though.

Anyone do #waffle, and especially the Monday Deluxe waffle? Because it’s a right mess today.

This half time show is rubbish. And why are BTS so popular, they sound the same as everyone else #WorldCupFinal

Watching the excellent #theboroughs Slightly annoyed it’s taken me until episode 5 to realise the title is a pun.

In 1983 I was probably complaining they didn’t play Bauhaus or New Order, but in retrospect this is a cracking edition #totp

Human League, sponsored by Avon. Did everyone wear that much makeup in 1983? #totp

So, Hormuz was open until Israel and the US started bombing, then the Iranians closed it. Now they've opened it again Trump has closed it. Remind me how anybody at all benefits from this ludicrous war. Apart from Putin, obviously. #trump #hormuz #iran

Hungary seem to have done the right thing. This will remove numerous EU vetos, not least on a funding package for Ukraine. And to anyone crying “rigged”, there was a huge turnout. Incumbents don’t usually get huge turnouts. #hungary #magyar

I remember hating No Scrubs at the time and my feelings haven’t changed. I hope they sacked their stylist after this as well #TOTP

Another of those records proving my theory that a lot of mainstream pop hasn’t changed in 25 years. Billie Piper #TOTP

Played this New Radicals track at a gig. It’s even more boring to play than to listen to, I can see why the singer wants to protect his identity. #toto

Preposterous thought they were, I’m sure The Cartoons are far from the worst #TOTP has to offer tonight.

So the next failed #tory to defect to #reform looks like it will be @bbclaurak bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdj…

Inside Reform: Laura Kuenssberg follows Farage's party as it experiences the glare of scrutiny

The BBC has spent time interviewing senior figures and witnessing Reform's work at the largest council it runs.

Whitney was rubbish 10 minutes ago. Do we have to sit through it again? #totp

#totp Skunkanansie. Not their finest moment but a decent band on TOTP for a change

I trust the UK Media will hound #farage out of office for his failures to declare earnings with the enthusiasm they hounded Angela Rayner for a far smaller administrative oversight. #reform #bias

Sinners deserves its nominations, but how does F1 get one for "best picture" and Blue Moon doesn't? Well, I know enough of Hollywood to see why but it's disappointing. And Delroy Lindo should get Best Support if there's any justice. #Oscars2026

Morons have been enabled and encouraged everywhere. There is no such thing as #chemtrails

Watching #shrek4 the parallels between Rumpelstiltskin’s Far Far Away and #trump’s America are too obvious to ignore.
