ā€œVladimir, STOP!ā€ - does Trump think Putin is just waiting to read his socials to realise the error of his ways? That he’ll take notice? Foreign policy via social media - bonkers.

Whisky, salmon and oil power Scotland’s economy — and shape its politics. But how much control lies within Scotland itself? theferret.scot/whisk...

Every time I watch ā€˜Race Across the World’ I think ā€˜I’d love to do that’ and wonder who I’d take, then realise whoever it was would leave me after the first leg because of how much I moaned about the accommodation/inability to wash properly/food.

Surely there are people making loads of cash from all Trump’s tariff/market fluctuation. What a farce.

This report should break something in all of us. 15,613 children. The first 27 pages of the report list children whose ages are 0. 26% were under the age of 5

With all the concern about what messaging app was used by our leaders, I'd love it if we also considered that we dropped bombs on a civilian apartment building and killed 53 people. Some number of whom were children. If another country did this to the United States, we'd call it a war crime.

Pete Hegseth, three days ago: "Under the previous administration we looked like fools. Not anymore.ā€ Carve it into his career headstone.

CIA chief says that adding a journalist in error to a military planning chat is ā€˜characterised as embarrassing’ and apparently not a huge mistake. It was just ā€˜inadvertent’. Good to see (again) what they think of Europe though. Revealing in many ways.

Two more Palestinian journalists killed…director of No Other Land attacked by settlers & arrested by soldiers. Made myself watch the documentary - treatment of people as expected but shocking to see as it happens. The communities trapped in awful Catch 22 situations…

Thought taking our son to the Scotland-Greece match on Sunday was a good birthday outing - sadly, the performance and score didn’t equal the intention 😭 Hopefully his first driving lesson isn’t as much of a ā€˜car crash’ (dual control, phew)

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Trump has ā€˜moral clarity’ according to Rubio - that must be what he wants to demonstrate when he threatens the Palestinian people, removes help for Ukraine and threatens democratic countries with annexation and take over.

America really doing very badly with diplomacy just now

The US wants Zelenskyy out so they can get past him to the mineral rights. I see them asking him to make all the concessions. What have they asked Russia, the aggressor, to do? What happened yesterday was an intended humiliation in front of the world.

The scenes at the White House are unbelievable- I’ve never seen anything like it. Such disrespect from Trump and Vance - and the blithering idiot asking Zelenskyy why he’s not wearing a suit 🤬

Watching the US President get a translator for someone speaking English…

My son, playing The Smiths/Stone Roses as I sing along: ā€˜Why do you always steal my music?’

So much horror in the world and so little I can change…but my daughter’s home from uni, my son did well in his prelims, I’ve just had a haircut, no emergency alert 😱 today (so far) so…positive thinking is a go go.

Asked if he plans to visit the site of the accident,Trump replied ā€˜the site? You mean the water? Want me to go swimming?’ There is something pathologically wrong with this man. Cruel, callous and twisted.

Don’t know much, if anything, about Gustavo Petro, Colombian president, but I appreciate the poetry throughout his statement re US tariffs. ā€˜This is the land of the yellow butterflies’.

So the nation’s sweetheart didn’t winā€¦šŸ™ #TheTraitors

Oh my word! Just had an emergency alert and it took me right back to being evacuated in Rhodes two years ago due to wildfires when that alarm was our soundtrack for a couple of days 😱
