Chris Mason sees his duty is to please his bosses not inform viewers. The constant interruptions and aggressive gotcha type questions on BBC News were atrocious.

The BBC has many journalists with a deep understanding of the Middle East but insist on using the woeful Chris Mason to interview Starmer using his usual gotcha type questioning.

Hacks questioning why Starmer picked up the A4 sheets dropped by Trump need to give their head a wobble. It's what well brought up people do.

Trump is currently aware he's mentally and physically failing and taking steps to conceal it. From experience of family members, the next step is Trump loses that awareness.

Trump is a gibbering halfwit. Little wonder he doesn't want to be seen with politicians who can say complete sentences in languages that aren't their first. #G7

He might be small in size but Zelenskyy is a political giant. @skynewsrss.bsky.social

There's no evidence of Trump's deal making skills. All he does is call on others to make deals. Bit like me calling on Daniel Farke to win next season's Premier League. It's not that simple.

If you drop your shopping because you're old or struggling with toddlers or a dog hope Richard isn't around 'cos helping you will make him look pathetic.

Once again #wato treats Trump's verbal meanderings and fantasy seriously. Trump is in rapid cognitive decline and the houseplants in the Oval Office are more in touch with reality.

A modern remake of Genevieve would be a Hillman Avenger racing an Austin Allegro along the A23. Not quite as charming as the original.

It appears @rcolvile.bsky.social has deleted the article he wrote for the Telegraph. Must have missed the retraction and apology. He wouldn't want Telegraph readers to remain misled, would he?

Robert uses the median to find the total and hence the mean. It is statistical codswallop. Here are two sets of number 1 1 5 5 5 1 1 5 100 500 The median of both sets of numbers is 5. The mean of the first set is 3.4. The mean of the second set of numbers is 121.4. A hugely misleading article.

Trump left the G7 early to retreat to the fantasy world he and his enablers have created. Sadly, billions of us are impacted as well.

Using the median and population to find the total is what statisticians call weapons-grade horse shite. If a GCSE Stats student presented similar work, they'd be in detention. Yet this fella gets published.

Listening to the interview with Howard Wilkinson on @thesquareball.net. It's a terrific listen. It's also a reminder that Leslie Silver was a great chairman and a great man.

Apart from Bijol sounding like medication you buy from the pharmacist for an embarrassing ailment, this fella sounds and looks impressive. Time will tell. #lufc

Is that a rolled up copy of bilateral meetings between G7 leaders or are you just happy to see me?

Badenoch took over the job of the regular penalty taker and skied her effort over the bar. Even worse than Chris Waddle at Italia 90.

Cooper isn't perfect but she's several classes above Badenoch.

I doubt whether Badenoch will get the opportunity to lead a Tory General Election campaign but it would be interesting. A combination of arrogance, anger, petulance and opportunism isn't a vote winner.

Kid Jensen is nearly 75 and Likely Lad James Bolam is 90. Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast.

Does Birbalsingh spend any time in her role as "Britain's Strictest Headteacher" In my experience, Teesside's strictest Headteachers are spending every waking hour trying to improve the lives and life chances of the children in their schools.

A special bus was laid on for Peston and his fellow hacks. He was hardly on the number 12 sat next to bloke drinking from a 3litre bottle of White Star cider. Seems getting a salary twice that of the PM ain't enough.

Every problem from May 2010 to July 2024 was caused by the previous Labour government. Every problem from July 2024 to June 2025 is caused by the current Labour government. That's about it, isn't it?

It's weeks since the Bristol City game and I'm still enjoying the afterglow. From arriving at the ground at 6.30 to seeing so many happy fans at Wetherby Services around midnight, it was a joy. If Carlsberg did matchday experiences. #lufc

Watching a loved one in mental and physical decline is very sad. In contrast, watching Trump is not. Sadly, Trump will do lasting incalculable damage. My Uncle Les won't.

The Club World Cup is to football what The Hundred is to cricket. Conceived in greed with no concern for the traditions and history of their game. The people hate the game they're running.
