Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

Great line about US politics on #BBCLauraK - ‘we’re not in The West Wing; we’re in The Godfather’.

Looks like Byline Times has er, ‘fallen out of a window’…

Serious question. How can the Israelis tell that Hamas killed the young hostages ‘with their bare hands’ when the bodies have been stored in a totally destroyed war zone for over a year? #C4News

I know I’m late to the party and I’ve only just got it today but that Kim Deal LP is really rather good, isn’t it? #KimDeal

Looks like Ed Davey has grasped the urgency of the situation: we need to hit 2.5% ‘by the end of the decade’. Yeah, I’m sure Putin will hold off his next move until 2030. #BBCR4 #R4Today

A ‘path’ to 2.5% isn’t good enough. We need that now. And we need to go beyond that. So if that means raising taxes, that’s what we need to do. There’s no point in low taxes if we’re being bombed by Russia - the threat is clear and present. #bbcqt

Trump apologist on #BBCQT thinks Trump went to Saudi himself and sat down with the Russians. FFS.

I’m rather worried that James Bond is about to turn American… #007 #JamesBond

Another tough gig for Victoria Derbyshire on #Newsnight tonight as she interviews the Ambassador for Royston Vasey. #BBCNewsnight

Why is the increase to private school fees included in the inflation figures? If passed on to parents, it’s a tax not an uncontrolled price rise, which only applies to 7% of the school population? #BBCNews

This is a fabulous story about Yoko…

No, #BBCNews. Trump does not ‘appear’ to blame Ukraine for starting war; he blames Ukraine for starting war. Listen to his words: ‘you should have never started it’.

I expected this guy on #C4News to start talking backwards…

Some intrepid folks taking a stroll on the Mers de Glace near Chamonix recently… #LandscapePhotography #Mountains #MontBlanc #Nikon #Photography #Brrrr

Oh come on. Chalamet was bobbed. #baftas #ACompleteUnknown

A spot of minimal for a Friday afternoon… #Photography #MinimalPhotography#Nikon #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography

Boy, has the BBC got it in for Rachel Reeves today: the ‘CV’ nonsense leading news bulletins all day, all over the website - 2 of the top 3 stories - and now the first question on #BBCQT. Get a grip - away from this tittle-tattle the world is sliding into disaster.

Pictured: the most successful Russian agent ever.

Hey #BBCNews and #R4PM, that’s a very thorough investigation into Rachel Reeves’ CV. Can you point me to the reports you did on the CVs of Rishi Sunak, Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javi, Philip Hammond, and Kwasi Kwarteng? I can’t seem to find them. Ta.

Random snap from the archives - Mother Theresa in #Lisbon #StreetPhotography #Portugal

Trump isn’t looking at this through the lens of a solution to the ME problems: he’s a property developer who’s spotted an opportunity on some land. Trouble is, he’s got to get rid of the current tenants. Doesn’t care where they go as long as he can build his new Dubai. #R4Today #Trump

Who was that Tory on #R4Today talking about defending Brexit freedoms, no chance of joining the customs union, no freedom of movement, the people made their decision in 2016, and on? Oh, it wasn’t a Johnson-era Tory: it was Labour’s Charlie Falconer. FFS #Labour, you are so letting us all down.

Mer de Glace, Chamonix #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Mountains #France #Sony

Mrs T did a parachute jump last year. This is some random jumper I caught that day. #parachute #photography #MinimalPhotography #Nikon

Descending to the Mer de Glace in the Chamonix valley… #MobilePhotography #iPhone16 #MountainPhotography #MinimalPhotography #Chamonix
