This is hysterical. Can’t imagine a European leader getting away with this crazy trickle up, voodoo economics. Imagine taxing the billionaires bodyguards and expecting their loyalty?

While the puppy had a nap I managed to mop the floors, load the dishwasher, fold laundry and post this. More exciting breaking news to follow after a long dog walk in Brockwell Park. I know. Contain yourselves.

I love it when a mechanic from a big multiple has to come to Westminster Wheels to find the right tool they’re missing.

In all the comparisons between fascism in the 20th and 21st Centuries no one’s mentioned that we ALL reside in a gas chamber now.

Article 5 and NATO died today. This Polish/British family are scared. Trump is ahead in US polls and Putin plans his next emboldened step. Thanks Yanks.

The fierce slide to authoritarianism in the US alarms my daughter, wife, my friends here and immobilises me. I try to stay focused on the kindness I witness. As I move into my 60’s I realise. Kindness can’t protect us. Humour won’t stop its spread. I stand in solidarity with US friends. Be safe.
