Golf.

I think of Trump.

Mirror.
Rod Stewart
'Sharing a picture of the two men stood outside No10 Downing Street, he wrote on his Instagram Story: "Proud to be British. Well done Starmer in welcoming Zelensky to the number 10". He rounded it off with the six-word message: "We must keep supporting the Ukrainians".
The 'Sailing' singer is a proud supporter of Ukraine, and even faced down boos from some sections of the crowd at a concert in Germany last year when he displayed a photograph of Zelensky on stage.'

'Carolina fires updates: Emergency declared in North and South Carolina as wildfires force evacuations
A blaze near Carolina Forest, a community just west of tourist spot Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, stretched across 1,600 acres'

They voted for Trump I think, has he and his mate Musk sacked any Fire Fighters yet, cause, ya all know, they don't really need um.

@Remittancegirl

That and the break up of the EU.

Trump/Vance attack on Zelenskyy did the opposite, Trump and Vance have brought the EU together to protect the Ukraine.

Putin must think his investment, back fired.

'Starmer summons European leaders as they scramble to coordinate on Ukraine
After charm offensives failed to get US backstop guarantees, can Starmer unite a fractured group of European leaders on Ukraine?

Yep, Stermer moved that fast.

'How the Trump-Zelensky talks collapsed in 10 fiery minutes'

Even I never thought the Republicans would come out this openly to support Russia and Putin.

Ukraine is fighting along a 1,000km boarder, how on Earth are they still going.

My admiration, for Ukraine is boundless.

The Independent.

'John Oliver compares Elon Musk’s DOGE department to viral Willy Wonka experience
The comedian said that DOGE has been a ‘stark disconnect between marketing and reality, Oliver began the segment by highlighting an incident in which Musk drastically overinflated the amount of money the department had saved, saying it was “a lot of numbers away” from the originally touted figure.’'

The Independent.
The great British food shortage: Why your weekly shop is about to get worse.

Partly.

'Brexit, strikes and the case of the vanishing workers
You can’t produce food without workers, and Britain no longer has enough of them. Brexit saw an exodus of agricultural workers, and those who remain aren’t exactly being incentivised to stay. The result? Arla, the UK’s biggest dairy supplier, has warned that farmers are cutting herd sizes, which is why butter is getting more expensive.'

'But here was Musk, doing something that few are permitted to do. He was upstaging Donald Trump. The cameras were on Musk as he sought to explain his work in Doge.

Musk, who has been elected by no one – who has faced no confirmation hearing as his post is not a cabinet position, and whose department is not a government department, meaning his work cannot be scrutinised by Congress – was providing a lecture on democratic accountability'

Who is really in charge?

'Tesla is suing drivers who complain about their cars after accidents – and winning
Tesla owner Elon Musk is a self-described ‘free speech absolutist.

Over the last four years, Tesla has sued at least six car owners in China who had sudden vehicle malfunctions, quality complaints or accidents they claimed were caused by mechanical failures.’'

Oh.

Who are the Republicans really working for ?

'Hegseth sets out hard line on European defence and Nato.
European nations must provide the "overwhelming" share of funding for Ukraine, the new US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said, as he signalled a drastic shift in Washington's position on the war.'

BBC

How long will it be before Musk closes down any Social Media site that allows us to question him and Trump.

How long before in the USA especially, people calling out Musk and Trump get the knock on the door?

Trump and his mate really are nasty people.

'Brazil fury over 'degrading' treatment
The Brazilian government lashed out at the “degrading” treatment of Brazilians during their deportation.

People were handcuffed by their feet and hands - a move the South American nation says “violates the terms of the US agreement.” The Brazilian Federal Police said it discovered 88 handcuffed people on a flight on Friday night.'

@glynmoody

In the USA?

Only for the parents that can afford it.

How did they vote for a man and a Party that would take life threatening vaccination from young children?

@glynmoody

Oh the irony.

'Trump won the demographic most in support of Palestine. Trump won the Muslim vote'

Oh, contaminated.

'Coca-Cola has recalled its drinks in some countries across Europe because they contain "higher levels" of a chemical called chlorate'

@glynmoody

Trump and Musk will not accept anyone criticising them.

Both would be Dictators if they could be, and Trump, maybe can.

'Donald Trump shakes up German politics

While leading German politicians fear the worst from Trump's second presidency, German parties are taking very different approaches to him. The far-right AfD is delighted, and was even invited to Trump's inauguration.'

If you were in 2 minds about Musk and his 'salute' now you know, yes it was the Nazi salute.

@Gargron

Beautiful part of the UK.
