At no point during the five-year span that Monty Python's Flying Circus aired on the BBC, from October 1969 to December 1974, could the greatest comedic minds of their time come up with a skit more grotesquely absurd than Trump placing a fake peace-prize medal over his own head.

I can't get over the fact that he naps while Rubio is LITERALLY saying he's the "Only one in the world who can focus." I just have to laugh. https://t.co/u0umVrnYiX

And soon the swastika will replace the Stars and Stripes. By the time of the mid-terms it may well be too late and in any event Trump will simply refuse to accept defeat. It’s playing out exactly as the shadowy figures behind Project 2025 planned, aided by an unhinged president.

An extremely well made comment from @labourlewis which illustrates why he’s a good MP, a decent person with seemingly measured views. So WHY does he indulge in rabble rousing stuff like offering his seat to Andy Burnham? I’m genuinely confused.
I’ve held back from commenting on the revelations about Nigel Farage’s past racism. Not because the story shocked me. For many in this country, it merely confirms what we’ve suspected for years. But some will be hearing these allegations for the first time, and it’s to you that I

Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.

I’m listening to the President of the United States telling the FIFA people how brilliant he is. And there’s one thing clear- he’s completely insane, deluded to the point of no return!

Hugely knowledgeable, critically eloquent and incisive and a lovely man to boot. Cheers Rodney!
Raising a glass to Rodney: it’s ten years today since the death of our former editor, Rodney Milnes.

Go on then — fuck off, and take the rest of your party with you. Leaving is the only thing you’re any good at after all. And it’s not as if the BBC depends on advertising or ratings — you need them more than they need you. All very Brexit.

Excellent news that Farage is ‘done’ with the BBC. Presumably this means the BBC is done with platforming him and his crypto fascist thugs, in particular weekly Question Time fixture Yusuf. Or does that not suit the Robbie Gibb playbook?

He’s UNELECTED! What is the BBC DOING? Once in a while, perhaps, but all the bloody time?! Again, I shan’t be watching- the BBC failing its licence payers to the point where it’s simply not worth paying.
Dear the BBC Question Time. Whilst this panel is more representative than usual of all parties, I think I speak for the majority of the population when I say that, nobody wants to hear from Zia Yusuf. Again. Please. This unelected, mealy-mouthed, bureaucrat adds nothing.

I think we might take a minute to ask why the American government has sent a real estate developer and the president's son in law to negotiate directly with Vladimir Putin, rather than - say - the secretary of state, or a professional diplomat, or indeed anyone with training.
Would very much prefer to see Sec Rubio, who has deeper understanding of #Russia-#Ukraine war and of how any deal would impact US interests, at this table.

This is how @ChrisMasonBBC described a male Tory Chancellor doing the same thing: "Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." Part of "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" apparently.
Why, in my judgement, Rachel Reeves was misleading on one specific point, @ChrisMasonBBC writes https://t.co/98HJEqiuOM

Let me tell you now, and let me be loud and clear on the subject. Tommy Robinson, for posting this, is a despicable, little, scrounging, racist nonce. They’re just kids. They’re not a colour they are little babies. Fucking low life, big forrid, grifting, racist, cunt.

This is the real Israel. Fucking cowards. Twenty armed cowards piling onto one Palestinian child — a child — because that’s the only kind of ‘threat’ they’re brave enough to face. They shove him to the ground, tie him up, drag him off like he’s nothing, and then stand in front

Moeran, great friend of wonderful Peter Warlock was a fine composer. I Had completely forgotten that his father was vicar at Salthouse - a stunning church, art and music space.
Day 1 on your Advent calendar! A couple of photos of St Nicholas church at Salthouse in Norfolk - composer EJ Moeran died on this date 75 years ago & his father was vicar at the church. Did the local landscape influence his music? We'll be playing some in @BBCRadio3 Breakfast

Never forget the company the Tories choose to keep.
A great meeting with my friend @netanyahu and discussion about how we must stand together to fight for the freedoms and values our countries are founded on. Israel is a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East and our friend and ally. We must never forget the

This is the video Nigel Farage doesn't want you to see. In fact, I bet he'd pay millions to have this video erased from the Internet's memory, if only such a possibility existed. This isn't a blunder or a mis-step. It's a statement of faith - a declaration of Nigel Farage's core
