Now where did my 17 year old son come up with a bottle of Chablis for his mother on mother's day? I think I'll leave it until tomorrow to ask!

Cannot work out for the life of me why private school fees should be included in the inflation index. Absolutely irrelevant to 90% of us surely?

I'm sure I remember Boris Johnson saying that today should be a bank holiday to celebrate Brexit - another Tory promise not delivered I suppose

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

"No, we agree with the Mayor of London that growth must come hand-in-hand with our climate obligations, and that's why the chancellor set out that we support a third runway" a labour spokesperson. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

When Badenoch was really poor at PMQs to start with I thought she would improve or Cameron, Hague or even May could give her some tips but she is getting worse. Total waste of time her turning up today . Starmer really shot her down without any effort at all

Why can a state owned Spanish shipbuilder take over Harland & Wolfe?why can't a UK state owned shipbuilder take it over? They also have a subsidiary that makes wind turbines - I thought GB Energy was meant to stop all the energy profits going to foreign shareholders.

When Trump visits Aberdeenshire in February or March to open his new golf course, it would be marvellous, if unlikely, that the Scottish government could refuse him entry on the grounds he is a convicted felon.

Ironic that storm Eowyn has led to the cancellation of 1070 flights. This together with train cancellations, and people staying at home should bring down our greenhouse gas emissions for today at least

Not sure Musk shouldn't be looking at ways to get rid of Donald Trump rather than Keir Starmer. Mind you it's all going to fall apart quite quickly isn't it!

"other major actions expected from the Trump administration today include pursuing capital punishment for certain crimes committed by unauthorised immigrants". What kind of sick bastard does that on day 1? Or any day come to think of it...

As a matter of interest when Truss borrowed loads of money for tax cuts and the UK already owed billions it tanked the economy. Trump is intending to do exactly the same thing but noone says he will tank the economy. Why not?

Cold start in Aberdeenshire this morning. Wish I was one of those organised people who cover their windscreen at night to stop it icing up, but the truth is I can't be arsed.

Fishing dilemma. I went fishing last night and didn't catch anything. Is it better not to have caught a minnow or is it better not to have caught a whale? Fishing as philosophy

Does anyone know what happened to Jane Aire and the Belvederes? They were fantastic when I saw them at UEA in 1979

"Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn". Strange way to say it blew up. Wonder if that's what Musk wrote on the insurance claim form
