And so it begins. #AndreaJenkyns has awarded herself an increase of £150K to “run her office” as Mayor of Lincolnshire. Council taxpayers will now have to fork out £262K per annum for the privilege. #Reform

Naga’s eye roll off the scale this morning as Charlie slaps her down while trying to explain why you speak foreign languages better after a few drinks. (Admittedly he wasn’t explaining it very well.) #BBCBreakfast

Nina is very good - this morning interviewing Sir Alex. Genial, natural & brings out the best in people. The BBC ought to make more use of her. #BBCBreakfast

The King’s great achievement was to stop #Trump being a complete arsehole for 48 hours. Normal service has now been resumed. #StateVisit

OK we all know #Trump doesn’t play by anybody else’s rules but his own, but insulting, namimg and shaming of perceived enemies & unsubstantiated vindictive slurs on their competence and probity (#SadiqKhan being just one) is an appalling abuse of power. He has to be stopped.

The whole world was laughing at us

#AndreaJenkyns unveils her new interactive map, purchased out of her new £262K office allowance, which traces the movements of #NigelFarage around the Globe. (To save money parts of East Anglia have been omitted.)

24 hours ahead of the new Russian international version of Eurovision the chairman of the Russian jury announces that Russia has won. #Intervision #Eurovision

North Ferriby Friday 19 Sept. First sighting of the autumn of 2 small skeins of pink-feet - coming in to evening roost on the Humber. Just 5 days later than last year. #birds

North Ferriby, Sunday: kingfisher on the pond. More waders on the foreshore: 5 black-tailed godwits, 3 ringed-plover, 2 curlew, 1 redshank. Single swallow passing through, #birds

Outrage, reasoned challenge, ridicule, cartoons, satire - lots of this on here and elsewhere, but is anybody actually doing anything to stop the abuse of power that #Trump is currently getting away with? The US seems to be sleepwalking into an ugly dictatorship.

This weird mixture of weird politics, weird religion, weird patriotism, weird emotionalism, weird ideology and weird obsession is just weird. #CharlieKirk #USA #Trump

The first advert I saw when we first got ITV was: “You’ll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with….”. Can you finish it off? Now try: “Bridge that gap with…” #BBCBreakfast

“That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents, and I don’t want the best for them.” Looks like Trump’s reading of the Bible stopped at the Old Testament. Would love to see one of these MAGA evangelical pastors try to defend #Trump ´s Christian credentials now.

Funny how American politicians (here Tim Walz) can dress down and look genuine, rather than the carefully thought out “casual” look adopted by their British counterparts.

UK athletics getting short shrift on #BBCBreakfast this morning. Bit of a change from all the speculative hype we’ve had for the past week.

The Daily Mail should rebrand itself as The Cotswold Gazette.

There are some people who should never laugh in public. Maybe not even the ghost of a smile. #NigelFarage

#BBCVerify rattling off a bewildering salvo of incomprehensible words, figures & graphics on #immigration , then Chris Mason sneering his way through an “interview” with Ed Davey. This is not “holding to account - #BBCNews is becoming a laughable & at times unpleasant joke.

Obnoxious and supercilious, all the arrogance of someone who knows they are protected by power. At least most of her predecessors as Trump’s Press Sec had the good grace to look embarrassed at some of the bullshit they had to spout. #KarolineLeavitt #Trump
