It's quite something when the Canadian PM calling the US President dumb is only third in the pecking order on the home screen of @theguardian.com's app.

Woah! Trudeau isn't messing about is he? You can hear the fury in his 'dumb thing to do' comment. And the fact that he refers to Trump as 'Donald' and not 'Mr President' or 'President Trump'...I mean, that must be as cold as it gets in diplomatic speak, surely? #trudeau

This picture makes me feel so happy after the shameful treatment of Zelensky yesterday. #ukraine

That is a magnificent point! Great performance all round. A real confidence boost for the squad. Boing boing! #wba

Is anyone else beginning to wonder who bought all the Trump meme coins in January? The US President must surely be in the pocket of the Russians to try a stunt like that today. Just astonishing levels of stupid on show from Trump and Vance. #ukraine

Appalling scenes in the Oval Office today. This generation of US Republicans are utter cowards. This Congress a facilitator of authoritarian aggression. Not one of them has the integrity to defend the right of a European ally to ensure its long term safety and security. #ukraine

Back at The Tommyfield for @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social featuring a fantastic line up: Harriet Dyer, Ian Smith, Laura Smyth, Omar Badawy! #comedy #standup

"Hope it's chips, it's chips."

Always edifying to see a Labour PM and former DPP rolling out the red carpet for a convicted felon. Still, it's not all that long ago that the monarchy shelled out c. £12m of taxpayers cash as compensation to Virginia Giuffre and her victims support charity for some reason.

I'd love it if not a single one of them bothers responding. Then what?

Bloody hell we made hard work of that. Was sure Swift was going to miss that open goal too. #wba

Baaaaaaaaaaaggggggies! #wba

I thought it would be hard to top the ignorance and stupidity of Vance's speech last week. But Trump's obscene post today is truly alarming. I well remember the anxiety about war growing up in the 80s. And I'm feeling the same again. Except this is worse because it feels like we've lost the US.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

So that's confirmed Conservative Party policy then: "Some cultures are better than others, and it’s only contentious to say this because honesty has become impossible." Looking forward to Conservative press office supplying the definitive list of better/worse cultures.

It is time.

Happy Birthday to UB40’s Ali Campbell 🥳

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz #wba

Baaaaaaaaaaaggggggies! #wba

@alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social You just knew Bob was trouble when he opted for strawbs. Two fantastic sets tonight. Thanks so much for a great night of comedy.

And now waiting for the set I originally booked (Harry was an unexpected bonus) – Mike Wozniak live at @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social!

At least 30 years since I last saw him live, I'm at @alwaysbecomedy.bsky.social waiting to witness the amazing Harry Hill! In action!

Well @theguardian.com have missed a sitter here.

Mowbray's back! #wba

(Second half) Baaaaaaaaaaaggggggies! #wba

For all our possession, we had hardly any clear cut chances in that half. Wednesday here to frustrate. Just got to stay patient. #wba

The UK Govt must urgently reform political party funding and subject political communications to prevailing advertising standards. What we're seeing in the US is the corrosive power of self-interest wielded by wealthy individuals and organisations. We can't be complacent or it will happen here.

Call me old fashioned, @yougov.co.uk, but I think something may be up with this question. #yougov

@freddeakin.bsky.social (a) I heard this triffic version of 'In The Bath' and it got me wondering if (b) you were involved with it so I (c) decided to see if you'd joined BlueSky in order to ask you and (d) discovered you *have* joined 👋 so (e) is this version anything to do with you?

This is absolutely the last thing anyone from the Fire Brigades Union should be doing.
