If you find yourself in Malaga before the end of June the Versace exhibition is quite frankly spectacular. #versace #malaga

Reading all ‘tweets’ in a Scottish accent really ups the entertainment value.

#democrats should select a presidential candidate for 2028 now and relentlessly promote an alternative agenda to #Trump. Failure to do so is to allow the extreme to triumph.

Why isn’t there a huge “welcome” sign at EU/UK borders for all those scientists and others fired from US federal agencies. Let’s take advantage of the Musk/Trump presidency and bring this talent to our shores. #trumppurge

Beginning week 4 of the worst cold/flu/sore throat/cough. Finally had to admit that #whisky is not working as the cure and antibiotics are now necessary.

History has always been a pendulum and always will be. Many years from now, when the pendulum swings back and Mark Zuckerberg attempts to pretend he always supported LGBTQ rights, remember this moment. Sear it in your memory. Never let him forget when he gave into hatred for his own preservation.

Once worked for John Prescott. He was an exceptional minister. Never worked for another who had much a command of the brief. The public persona was just that. In professional setting he was quite something. Also brilliant communicator. A sad loss to politics and the Labour movement.

Many infectious diseases are so rare today that it is easy to forget how very common they were before the introduction of vaccines. My chart presents an overview of the change in the US.

Well this is sad news. I used to enjoy rather interesting conversations with Ken on flights back and forth to London. He was a very good journalist www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If there’s any small crumb of comfort with the #Trump appointments it’s that unlike 1.0 no one will try to stop him. So that means he owns the insanity completely, no one else. When it inevitably goes up in 🔥 he’s alone to blame.
