Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

Sorry UK, I'm all for deeper UK-EU security cooperation at this moment, but forget about this bridge illusion. The EU will speak for itself. And you cannot pretend to speak 'for Europe' and at the same meeting call for tariff carve outs playing on being 'not Europe'. From: on.ft.com/4gLuvnQ

‘It’s nightmarish’: why 1.5m Britons are still hunting for a job

Stupid hat too.

Tacky ceremony. The BBC commentators know little more than me, apart from Sarah Smith.

Since Congress and the Supreme Court wants to ban TikTok because it's owned by a Chinese-company, then they should also ban Twitter for being owned by an apartheid loving South African.

I see we're working our way through all the stupidest historical takes now, in a mission to kill every living brain cell on earth. If Hitler was a "communist socialist guy", why were Communists and Socialists the very first people he killed? Riddle me that Batman. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Canada is stepping in to assist with the California wildfires, regardless of Donald Trump's comments.

Every brilliant, quietly angry word of this by @roberthutton.co.uk:

The Tories did NOT implement recommendations of the Prof Jay report into child sexual abuse Whitehall estimated compensation costs at £5-10 billion! Badenoch was Children's and then Women & Equalities Minister. DIDN'T mention "grooming gangs" in House of Commons once in all her 8 years as an MP!!

“Germany and France warn Donald Trump against threats to take control of Greenland from Nato ally Denmark” This is what it’s come to — before Trump even takes office.

This practice of engineering Commons votes purely to generate gotcha comms attacks against the other side's MPs - when did it start? Can remember it going back to 2010s but is it much older.
