I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just debris from a successful interception. If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

Hmm. Longer war goes on higher oil prices rise and more diverted is America. Hugely in Russia’s interest to prolong this conflict …

Like to see the front foot on the Jacks dismissal - looked very close....#IndvEng

I mean, who the fxxx would want to be a bowler??

Pete Hegseth is an American version of Chemical Ali on an unprecedented dose of testosterone

I’m not saying that both my children have left university, but there will be signs!! #poshcheese

Starmer Chameleon - changes his mind in the blink of an eye

Who is the idiot Australian commentator who has just asked me to imagine that I am cricket ball being hit by Jason Holder? #IndVWI

The new Green MP just said there’s ’no place in the country that the Green Party cannot win’. Has she been to Kent?

Matt Badloss, is it?

Ludicrously belated criticism of Andrew by MPs. The newspapers highlighted his poor behaviour for more than two decades. Where were all the Ministers and ambassadors speaking out then?

Judging by their performance today might be better if the Hundred bans Indian players from the franchises #IndvSA

We are now in a position where the coach brought in to turn English Test cricket into a run-fest has somehow managed to turn the T20 side into a team of plodders…

Don’t know a lot about curling but think they should try to think more out of the box and go aerial with the ‘Barnes Wallis’ - see how the maple syrup waterfall boasters deal with that…

So much for ‘transparency’…still no-one knows how Andrew’s £12m settlement to Giuffre was funded. Where did the money come from and what did those who paid it know of what Andrew had done?

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

According to Private Eye, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was enthusiastically recommended to Tony Blair for Trade Commissioner by one Peter Mandelson. Prince Charles tried to veto the appointment but Blair overruled him.

The next series of 24 Hours In Police Custody is going to come with a royal warrant.

The ECB needs to sort this out. Outrageous www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

The King offering his 'full and wholehearted support and co-operation' to police. It's ridiculous that now, and only now, they are showing willing...for years they and government have refused to discuss details about his time as trade ambassador...

Follow the hush-money...who exactly funded Andrew's £10m settlement with Giuffre and what did they know of his wrongdoing when they handed it over? What previous complaints had been made to the Palace about Andrew's behaviour, be it as Trade Ambassador or otherwise?

Bill Bramhall cartoon.

What's the betting that-in a few weeks time-the Met will say they 'found no evidence of wrong-doing'? 🙄 #EpsteinFiles #MetPolice #coverup #AbolishTheMonarchy

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

New Zealand chasing down Canada’s total with all of the confidence England have failed to show in this tournament #T20Worldcup

Big Aussie choke on? Lost 7 for 73 in last 11 overs..

England's spinners have been at best average, at worse woeful. Not a patch even on Pakistan's yesterday. So many freebies #EngvIt

Happy 70th birthday to West Indies legend, Desmond Haynes born 15 February 1956. He played 116 Tests scoring 7,487 runs at 42.29 with 18 tons. Haynes also tallied 238 ODI’s notching 8,648 runs at 41.27 with 17 centuries. Congratulations to a great cricketer. #cricketcounts

Not really looking forward to Brook trying to take on Tariq to be honest

Spin is going to play such a big role in this World Cup going forward can’t understand why England didn’t take Root with them #IndvPak

The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield. Russia’s maximalist demands cannot be met with a minimalist response. Extract of my speech at Munich Security Conference ↓

Wuthering Heights? More like Withering Hype. Strangely unerotic compilation of sex scenes interspersed with man licking things (faces, walls etc) while making monosyllabic utterings in Northern accent.

What if you threw a coup and nobody came?

King Charles' brother Andrew shared UK trade files with Epstein, emails indicate - www.reuters.com/world/uk/kin...

Guess who's coming to dinner! Epstein files photo shows 'wild' dinner party with Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel back in 2015 trib.al/YyM4OXI

While we’re asking Mandelson to return his Foreign Office payout how about the former Prince Andrew return all the taxpayer cash he spent and trousered jetting around the world as Trade Ambassador?

Coincidentally, that's the face he made when Reinaldo told him the police were at the door

India 73-5 v USA

This is mad. Just received this. If their pipes didn't constantly leak then they wouldn't have to impose these nonsense bans. Bills and bonuses skyrocketing.

Lot of people claiming exclusives for 'cut and paste' exposes from Epstein files but real work in exposing Prince Andrew (and Fergie) was done by the tabloids. How the pair of them were allowed to cling on and grift for decades is a question the Royal Family should be made to answer.

While we’re asking what the Government knew about Mandelson’s links to Epstein, how about asking what the Royal Family knew about Andrew’s involvement with the paedophile financier? And if Mandelson was feeding him sensitive info, what about Andrew, Britain’s trade ambassador?

What’s next for Peter Mandelson? Got to be a podcast. With an ‘amusing counterpart’, I’m thinking Ann Widdecombe or Nicky Hallam.

Mandelson only really left with one option now - to switch to Reform

Let he who hasn't been photographed in a pair of Y Fronts in the home of an internationally infamous paedophile cast the first stone, say I...

They should throw the kitchen sink at Mandelson - criminal investigations for misconduct in public office, insider dealing and HMRC probe into his tax affairs.

My favourite part of a visit to an otter sanctuary is the bit where the otters stand respectfully in silence for their national anthems.

I’m watching final episode of #TheNightManager solely because I’ve invested so much time in what I can only describe as a sub-par Slow Horses featuring a sub-par Bond who’s only sexual activity thus far has been a bit of over-the-jeans frottage.

Fascinating how the water companies brief journalists about future water shortages when the reality is there is no shortage of water just a shortage of infrastructure to meet demand. The last six months - not just this winter - wetter than average.

Great to see Banton playing for England again. Great credit to him to getting back into the team #SIvEng
