There now follows a Party Political Broadcast by Count Binface. And quite frankly it's a banger. Help me run for mayor here. Under £5k to go! gofundme.com/f/countbinface… #BinDay #LoveDemocracy

Just watched 20 Days in Mariupol. Truly painful and awful to watch … but as the months go by it’s so important to remember the ongoing horror of what is happening in Ukraine. 20daysinmariupol.com

Sunak’s wine legacy. The highest rates of duty on wine in Europe, with 64 bands of duty (to replace just 2!) from 1 Feb 2025. Will the next government do the right thing - it’s a simple move - and help businesses and consumers? My monthly newsletter… newsletter.bauduc.com/t/y-e-mjyduyd-…

Congratulations Thames RC not only for a sensational set of results Henley Royal Regatta across all club events but also for being the fastest VIII on Sunday at 6 mins 23s. Is that the first time Daniel Spring that the fastest VIII in the finals came from the Thames Cup?

What an utterly inspiring performance by the W4x today. Their trust in each other and their joy in each other’s company shone through. And kudos to the Dutch; a race for the ages and real dignity in what must have been a heartbreaking finish for them.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem
