Exactly 50 years ago today I saw Jethro Tull at the Opera House in Manchester. It was pure 1970s - relentless "Get yer tits out" to Fanny, the all female support and Ian Anderson fighting someone in the audience who called Martin Barre "a fat c*nt"

How can Dr #Fauci be in contempt of Congress by claiming a constitutional right defended by that institution? At worst, he's guilty of being in contempt of Mr Rand Paul, but then, who isn't?

So Johnson went on a fact finding trip and learnt nothing. I’d say the headline should be “Boris Johnson - Useless Fact Hunt”

Saw Pat Metheny play live in London last night. As encores, he played a couple of acoustic guitar solo medleys, starting with America the Beautiful and ending with This Is Not America. As the final notes faded away, he sat with his head lowered. It was a poignant moment not lost on anyone.

Exactly 6 years ago, I made the illustration of Trump playing golf with a scythe. At the time, it was a symbol of his destructive policies; everything he touched died or was destroyed. The same applies now even more, during his second term. Share the drawing again today. I want him to see it.

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

There's a problem with the media 'bigging up' Mandelson's criticism of the PM and government. If they trust him and his judgement on this, why was it a mistake to appoint him ambassador?
