Well, thank you Trumplestiltskin. Wrecking the JCPOA agreement is one of the worst things he ever did, and that "worst things" list is very long.

I used to check in at CPH airport next to the Air Greenland desk. I have respected Greenlanders ever since.

True, a terrible regime, but a country with great people and huge potential.

"Strangest"? My daughter is a psychiatrist and she tells me the correct word is "bonkers".

I know how you feel. The Times this morning had an article about her without mentioning her name until well into the article. Quite wrong. There should be a health warning right at the start.

I really don't think Starmer should do any apologising of any kind to Badenoch. She should just be quiet.

Why disturbing Helene? I feel undisturbed and that the SIS is in safe hands.

The best comment possible. Netanyahu and Trump obviously need to go: what is not appreciated in Europe and N America is that the Iranian people are clever, cultured, and pro-western. The Iranian theocracy is a disaster, and has been for decades.

It looks simple, and neatly done, and an important milestone. Well done to him ... and to you.

Mine had been chewed by the foxes. The new one is pristine, I kept it in the hall of the house all day with a flower on top, it started to work this evening.

Got a new bin from Richmond council today, so I am at the other end of the bin spectrum. I hope the sobbing gets better....

And a severe test of a bar-tender: most get it right, only few make it great.

I was, with BK in about 1980, looking at the group photograph of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) congress held in Zurich in 1938. He could not find himself in the picture. Then he paused, and remembered ...

Have you been to Lisbon or Porto? For somewhere more cool, Copenhagen. For a beautiful city, little known, Olomouc in the Czech Republic. All those 4 meet all your criteria.

I think Percy was just taking the piss. Puffins are smart birds and have been using the two-wing flying technique for years.

About time too. The original statement about the two child cap was one of the factors that took my vote away from Labour for the first time in 60 years.

Absolutely. The Starmer government is making some serious mis-steps, but appointments like Timpson, Vallance, and Hermer give hope.

How wonderfully and spectacularly dim. There should be a few more public tests of the ignorance members of Trump's team.

I am looking forward to the headlines in the Mail and the Express where they blame the catastrophic fall from 556551 to 545640 on both Starmer and the EU.

Certainly looks ill, but he has never looked fit. What is getting him, calories, alcohol, or just general depravity?

Outrageous. Medication, and personal functions should be completely private and confidential. Not something that the plod should be allowed to snoop around.

Yes, and he was a much better public speaker than Starmer. The first Wilson government did not do as well as hoped, but was not a disaster.

If you had one, I would subscribe. I have found the right Substacks (Freedman, Aaronovitch etc.) much more informative than random newspapers.

Yes, you should respond and explain. I am astonished that people expect musicians to play for free, actors to do voice-overs "as a favour" and so on.

I have just spent the afternoon, not with birds, but at my old university (Manchester) marking the retirement of my former secretary. Now there is somebody really as wise as the proverbial old bird.....
