Looks like Donald ‘I end wars’ Trump might have a busy day.

This has nothing to do with securing world peace and stability, and everything to do with self-serving interests.

The power he wields is deeply troubling both to many American citizens and to allies globally. He shows no real interest in others, save for what they can provide him with. His blinkered selfishness puts us all at increased risk, threatening to tear apart deep, historic ties.

If the @NobelPrize ended up awarding anything at all to the playground bully, @realDonaldTrump, it would be an utter travesty. NATO isn’t about self-preservation of a single nation, but about the mutual support of the entire bloc. There is nothing peaceful about bullying allies.

For the second time this week, I’m on my third cup of tea at around 7:00. 😴

The view from my current perch. Now to decide which jobs to tackle this morning… 😬

So @realDonaldTrump failed to bully Russia into stopping the war, so is now trying to bully Ukraine into capitulating… I don’t understand how this is anything other than rewarding Russia for an armed invasion of another sovereign country.

Actually a bit heavy-hearted about Trump’s plan which simply hands chunks of Ukraine to an aggressor. If Russia invaded the US, I don’t imagine he’d cede Alaska to end the war. So why is he pushing Ukraine to give up territory. Bullying your way to peace doesn’t seem peaceful…

Trump taking legal action over someone being economical with the truth. You couldn't make it up...

Carrying on my random stat from last week, looking at games five and six in the #PremierLeague, only ONE team won both fixtures. #MOTD

Crystal Palace is the only club in the premiership to win both of their last two matches. #motd

Fun fact. After five fixtures apiece so far this season, only two of the 20 teams have won their last two matches in a row. #MOTD

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Here's a blog post I wrote last year, about events back in 2016. https://t.co/rkmFENHhXY #Talk #Listen #WSPD2025

Christianity is not an achievement unlocked but a journey embarked on.

Genuinely baffling. I understand this is horrific, but it seems Iran has accidentally bombed a hospital near a military target, Israel has deliberately targeted military targets in hospital compounds 🤔 Not sure there’s much moral high ground available anywhere these days…

You know how you can sometimes recognise someone from the way they walk? Do people recognise Christ from the way his body, the church, walks?

If ever I do have a genuine email from Warren Buffet, the Bank of Nigeria or Western Union, boy will I have egg on my face, because I shall blithely ignore it and thus miss out on the millions it offers me. My favourite recent one opened with, ‘Dear Costumer…’ #FancyDress?

I’ve worked out part of the reason some of our churches are struggling numerically. Back in the 50s, the likes of Father Brown and those successive vicars in Grantchester were far too focused on fighting crime, and not enough on mission. #CrimeFightingVicars

If a trade deficit is when a country's imports exceeds its exports, then surely the US will have a Trade Deficit with everyone, because it's the biggest consumer in the world... Please correct me if I'm wrong! In which case, Trump needs to encourage his nation to buy less stuff.

Dear Mr @BillGates... https://t.co/onguUfV6L2 If you've got any spare that you're looking to redistribute... 😜
