Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

My compatriot and fellow Crohn’s patient suggested we should make a podcast about IBD, so we did. First episode is now up on Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0GgADPx... We had fun making it and I’ve learnt a lot about editing. There may be a few rough edges for this first one!

I detest Facebook but, like Twitter, it can be useful and informative if you avoid all the #Musk & #Zuckerberg fanboys. This amused me. I wonder if a baboon would do a better job than #Trump?

VD: “As a result of some of Elon Musk’s tweets, the threat to you has gone up?” JP: “Yes...” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jess Phillips about Elon Musk’s attacks about her response to grooming gangs in the UK, adding his comments are “endangering” her. #Newsnight

Here we have a so called British patriot effectively saying that the US should sanction the UK… Last time I checked, this kind of thing might have been deemed traitorous.
