Just your regular reminder that in 4 years time, if America elects a same President, it won’t just get to write stuff off as ‘Trump’. He won the popular vote, the country got what it voted for. I don’t think it will end well for the US.

All Americans who are watching your conservative leaders partaking in, laughing at or even just tolerating Nazi salutes - is this really what you want? Are you writing it off as a joke or do you agree with it. These people are showing you who they are, do you stand with them or against them? #nazi

Well, America, you’ve had a good run but the final vestiges of your global reputation has now been smashed, and it won’t be repaired for generations, if ever. Imagine trashing your reputation, influence, trade, sales and existence as a superpower just to give rich people more tax cuts. Wild.

‘If you agree with Trump on one part of one policy then you are a literal fascist’ is really not a stance that is going to turn back the tide on right wing populist leaders.

Hey America, the last two weeks have damaged decades of influence. Firstly, it won’t help America, secondly, it will help China, who will fill the gap with countries you have screwed on aid and thirdly, nobody will ever trust or rely on you again.

Just cancelled my Uber eats account and (obvs) deleted the app. 2 hours after my order on a Saturday night when they cancel it, and without any option to complain, I’m a petty man with such things, but if you aren’t reliable with the one thing you are meant to do, I can’t use you. #ubereats #bye

So here is the full list, total score 158/260, average is 6/10. A couple of surprise successes that raised my Christmas spirit, a load of that I could probably recite myself, and some true stinkers. The movie highlight was getting to see the Muppet Christmas Carol on a big screen. #festivefilms

And special mention to Sophie Ellis-Bextor, I kinda skimmed watching it there but looked like a right load of poshly annunciated fun with some serious moves and a killer finishing song.

As is now traditional, my family are long asleep and I am watching #Hootenanny on my lonesome. Good one this year, with some traditional randomness.
