So Trump claims that the US is doing well with gas/petrol porters since his military excursion. Prices have increased by 35% in the US compared to 20% in the UK. So much for drill baby drill... #USPolitics

Donald Trump says operations in Iran are "ahead of schedule" as he reports the US has "destroyed and sunk" nine Iranian Navy ships. Odd as it is quicker than a fortnight…

Is there not a parallel between an authoritarian regime in the Middle East going after lawful protesters, even shooting a few, demanding the death penalty to some, and a country called USA? #usa

Trump solves yet another war! 😉 “They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Rubio confidantly stating that he wants to offer Ukraine cast iron solutions protecting future peace...just like the Budapest agreement that the US previously signed, and then politely forgot.

Billboards going up near Mar-a-lago….

Biden lives in Trumps head. If Bi-den was that bad, wouldn't Trump be capable to move on?

Half the food aid and no fuel into Gaza. One of Trumps redlines he agreed? Art of the Deal? #Gaza

Please stop Trump from waffling at the Knesset. Nurse the screens! It's a love in with Netanyahu - one, at least, of which is scheduled to go to the Hague and the International Criminal Court

Sat in a bay window of a hotel overlooking the Solway Firth supping a cuppa. Bliss

Maga has arrived at a place so far removed from reality that it now holds official government functions with imaginary enemies

Didn't Trump say he would resolve the sale of Tiktok in a matter of days/weeks/fortnights even? Like the Ukraine/Russia conflict...

He's not the President of NATO!

We seriously have Marie Antoinette Trump. Higher food prices, higher energy prices, higher medical costs, and the Queen builds a golden ballroom on the White House. #DefendersofDemocracy

The art of the deal "If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” he wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday. It's like he wants to rebuild Gaza...

Farage responds by 'accusing UK prime minister of inciting radical left'...as Trump's speech writers get second job with Reform UK party

Got told by a MAGA convert today that "inflation is zero" doesn't mean it is zero but unchanged. OK. This non-MAGA and independent article suggests to differ aje.io/rgs29g MAGA afficionadoes won't read it of course

And why is this not a headline in enormous bold type at the top of the @nytimes.com

open.substack.com/pub/dbobston... Can we forgive those who don't forgive us?

@mattehudson.bsky.social Hi Matt I was using Threads and I asked why you would write "we are sorry for your response but they were the facts" and how as a political party you would speak in such a way when you perceive people opposed what you said. You then blocked me. Why was that please?

The EHRC is consulting on its belief that it's right to exclude women and men who are trans from women and men’s groups and spaces. I've just shared my response. Will you add yours? goodlaw.social/dcf1da

Up and out early to avoid the hotter weather (in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). First sub 2 hour half since 2020

Peace and tranquility amongst the Shropshire Union Canal #running

Ten or so seconds of peace #SolwayFirth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Let’s be real – the facts are the real victims here. They keep being overlooked in favour of fuelling culture wars. 1/3

Anyone for wild garlic and birdsong? #running

Great café found in Chester : Rainbows

Pleasant morning run whilst in holiday in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

When the black clouds loom into view I go to my safe place #solway a pause on the morning run

Is the Church dying? was the question I was asked open.substack.com/pub/dbobston...

A group of senators is attending the dignified transfer in Dover today of the four U.S. troops who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. The group includes Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin and Sens. Duckworth and Coons. Donald Trump is golfing.

I was amused by this letter to a paper : I am surprised that San Serriffe was not included in the list of countries subjected to Donald Trump’s tariffs, along with the Antarctic islands only inhabited by penguins. Perhaps JD Vance is planning a visit? Diana Bailey, Edinburgh

Preacher said that were loving and kind but had a cold nose so *he* identified as a dog. On Mothering Sunday. In a Church in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Livid. #LGBTQI #transgender

Delighted with this run around the decommissioned nuclear power strain this morning - longest this year

Gentle run in the country - and sunshine....in Scotland! #running

Solway Firth this morning #running

Energy CAP prices predicted to increase again in April up the reasoning given :"hike is due to a combination of colder weather and a fall in gas storage levels across Europe" is not down to the host Government. Breaking the link between gas & electricity price would help.

First run to the shore of the Solway Firth since November. Then greeted with snow on the way back #running
