Everything that Trump does, without fail, every power grab and outlandish declaration, is designed to make him and his plutocrat mates a stack of cash. Always ask: how will he make a profit out of this, to uncover his real motives. Follow the money

A 4-year-old asking his mom, “Will we die?” during a Russian attack. I’ve had this conversation with my son so many times. He shakes and asks, “Will we die today?” You can’t imagine how heartbreaking it is. 💔

Nawaqanitawase is (a) the reason they need names on the back of shirts, cos I can never remember it (b) the reason they don't, as it wouldn't fit on #NRL #NRLGF

So is Richard E Grant one of those who people think is intelligent because he gets great roles and sounds posh, whereas.... ?

I think City may well blow apart FPP. This is like Bosman, where football didnt think employment law applied to it. You cant call something a "sham contract" if it is perfectly legal under corporate, employment and tax law. Shell keep their drilling and petrol stations separate. No different

The racists are now abusing Britain's main blind people’s charity, the RNIB, accusing it of helping "small boat" migrants after mistaking it for the RNLI. Presumably the RNID, who support deaf people, are next. And will face accusations of refusing to listen... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I'd like to enter this into the "best thing I've seen on the Internet this month" contest. This racist piece of shit called ICE after these fellas built his fence to avoid paying them. They handled their business. And I love the music this is set to. "You've been, THUNDERSTRUCK!"

I see that Trump's envoys have received their instructions in Moscow, having been kept waiting by Putin, and are now on their way to Kyiv to tell Zelenskyy to surrender. Then they will get annoyed and blame him for not complying. We've seen all this before

I seem to be being bombarded by utility companies with their "want to beat the price rises for gas and electricity?". Like they are doing us a favour.

Keep seeing very obviously AI-generated posters for events. Stylistically, they all look so similar. The death of creativity and immediately puts me off. Try something original and different

Best thing that happened to #Masterchef was to drop Wallace. Grace Dent is brilliantly enthusiastic. And the cook-along challenge with Giorgio is an excellent, with Giorgio himself being great too #CelebrityMasterchef

Farage not turning up for the count at Clacton is like a clown not turning up to his own circus. Anyway, let the parliamentary investigation re-commence ASAP. You can't hide from that, NF

There's a little group of political correspondents who appear to get together and decide what the news story is then they all run with it. The appointment of John Healey has completely f*cked them over. Maybe they should be less chummy and do their job better

The American Revolution, being shown on BBC4, is very very good. Superb use of maps, portraits, paintings and drawings to convey the landscapes and tactics. I feel engaged and informed. Benchmark

The virgin Obama painstakingly negotiated series of targets, inspection requirements and milestone linked payments versus the chad Trump just kind of taking Iran's word for it because the President is bored and wants to free up carriers to go bomb Cuba.

Pet hate: commentators who don't commentate, like this joker covering NL v Japan. Are we meant to know who all the Dutch and Japanese players are? Do your fecking job

While delighting #Rush fans by knocking it out of the park, Annika Nilles has also focused a lot of attention on how brilliant Neil Peart was
