So..... how's YOUR week going so far?

Very satisfying news from just round the corner. Terrible night for all three ‘big’ parties in what has almost always been a Labour stronghold.

Brexit wasn’t a one-off rupture. It was a choice to swap a seat at the captain’s table for a life raft beside the ship. Now EU border controls tighten and truckers, farmers, exporters and shoppers pay the price. We punished ourselves and chose third-country decline. www.politico.eu/article/eu-b...

The BBC interviewied "shadow home secretary" Zia Yusef from Deform UK. At no point did they mention that "Are Nige's" private company, with barely a handful of dubious "unelected" MPs is not the official opposition, and Yusef is not even an MP!

Some are spending today flipping pancakes. Here, every year, we remind ourselves that freedom is something worth fighting for #MartediGrasso #ShroveTuesday #StoricoCarnevaleIvrea 📍Ivrea, 🇮🇹

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

📍Ivrea, ponte vecchio. Can you spot the "Bella Dormiente" (Sleeping Beauty) 🏔️🏔️ in the background?

Chris Mason - this isn’t news mate, it’s just tittle tattle, total guff, trivia, amateur journalism and bias. Time you departed the BBC.

Terrible person in favour of racist policy

50,000 more nurses for our NHS! In the meantime let's implement a policy that will make 50,0000 nurses to leave the NHS and the UK! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else. (iPaper)

La passione dei Paesi Bassi per il pattinaggio (che alle Olimpiadi porta tante medaglie) ha radici antiche. Qui un dipinto del 1605 di Hendrick Avercamp (museo ©Mauritshuis). L’Eerste Friese Schaatsmuseum di Hindeloopen custodisce la più grande collezione di pattini al mondo.

But someone is still talking about a useless bridge to connect Calabria to Sicily

Buongiorno! 📍Ivrea, Piedmont 🇮🇹

Il Maestro Riccardo Muti sostiene da tempo che un Inno nazionale va cantato da un coro, non da solisti. Dopo aver sentito i miagolii di Laura Pausini a San Siro e memore di altre esibizioni del passato, concordo pienamente con Muti.

Italy, birthplace of opera, once again, put a pop singer (Bocelli) on the world stage selling him as a tenor... #WinterOlympicGames

Must have required a big deal of bravery for the 🇨🇦 Olympic team to show their outfits... in Milan! 😂🫣

Evening thoughts: #instagram is so full of 💩

Today is the day when the world will think Cortina is a district in Milan. Never mind the 400Km between them! #WinterOlympicGames

Name them shame them

Sir Ian McKellen is further proof that it is possible to be both a good man and a great man at the same time, despite the evidence of the times. And Shakespeare? He was a bit special too, wasn't he? To write something for audience entertainment that's still educational 400 years later!

I second this idea!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Seems like a good video for his trial
