Some compensation for being up at 4am - caught the last super moon of the year.
Deeply concerning how so few people respect experts nowadays. Why bother mastering anything, nobody is gonna listen.
Trump must be having a lie in, he doesn't seem to have made any bizarre appointments yet today. Come on Donald, MTG is hanging on the phone!
X-odus keeps growing. Lost 200 followers now in 10 days. Soon, the right will only have each other to loathe & squabble with.
The view of the Governor of the Bank of England that Brexit is damaging the economy is an irrefutable fact, but it does not follow that millions of Brits believe it, or that the government will have the courage to do much about it. Modern Britain is thus left yoked to a big lie.
There can be no surprise that when you elect a clown, he surrounds himself with fools.
I'm racking my brains & trawling back through history, but still can't come up with an example anywhere near as bad a nominee for any post - as Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt (FFS) Gaetz! I guess a fox being put in charge of a chicken coop might get somwhere near to it.
Seems like liberals & progressives are abandoning the X ship. I've thought about it, but I'm staying for now. I don't want to cede this platform to the right. In my own tiny way, I want to keep speaking up for truth, justice & decency. Most of us have nothing much but our voice.
I'm lost for words, Gaetz to be Attorney General! America is in deep trouble, it's lost any sense of decency, now it's losing its mind.
Whatever you think about Joe Biden, he showed real dignity & class today in inviting Trump to the White House. Trump has never had, will never have, those qualities. He behaved like a spoiled child when he lost in 2020. It's tragic that so few Americans care about such things.
Great walk, in & around Bridlington today - probably the last mild day of the year.
There seems no end to Trump's appointment of Muppet Show characters. What next, Rudy in charge of finance & Melania of communications?
Notable, that the UK 's Archbishop has just (righly) resigned due to mistakes he made when dealing with a serial sexual abuser in the Church of England, it coming just a week after the US re-elected a proven sex abuser & very likely a serial one, as President. Funny old world!
A crumb of comfort, it looks like Kari Lake won't be polluting the US Senate by her presence - In other words, she looks certain to lose in Arizona.
Yesterday finally brought a sparkling autumn day in East Yorkshire. I needed it to help cope with the gloomy political outlook across the Atlantic!
No surprise that Farage wants a fraudster, serial liar, insurrecionist, sex offender to address parliament. If that highly unfortunate day ever comes, for once, Nige won't be the most despicable person in the room.
It's hard to have much hope for the future of humanity when the world's biggest producer of fossil fuels elects a climate change denier. The country that emits twice the carbon that all 27 EU states do, chooses a man who says more about migrant pet eaters than he does on climate.
Since Trump's victory, I've lost nearly 100 followers. I doubt it's anything I've said, guess a lot of folks don't feel comfortable using X anymore. Maybe they are right, for it certainly helped deliver the results Elon wanted.
Normally, losing elections doesn't really matter much. You dust yourself down, learn some lessons, try and win next time. Labour between 2019 & 2024 is a classic eg. What makes Trump's win so different, is the GOP will pull every lever to rig future elections against the Dems.
I have no wish to offend anyone, but at a time when we remember those who fought & died for democracy, it is deeply concerning to watch America flirting with giving it away to such an unworthy demagogue.
