I am AMAZED there are not more people at the very least pointing out that this lightning-fast deterioration in Trump's health, happened only a few days after he had a lovely cup of Polonium tea and a slice of Novichok marble cake, with his best friend from Moscow.

Nobody knows more about strokes than Trump. It was the best most beautiful stroke you’ve ever seen . Some people even say it was the biggest stroke ever.

These demonstrations outside asylum hotels are terrorism. They are designed to terrorise. They involve violence against civilians for political reasons. That is terrorism. Not pating planes. Will the government act, or are they too gutless?

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified… …once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’. Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.

That rumour has been circulating for a while but Wasps don’t have a ground, their owners have been focusing on Worcester’s rebirth, and Irish no longer have a wealthy Eddie Jordan backing their re-launch, or a ground.

Ever since Johnson proroged parliament it's been very clear that our medieval constitution is no defence against 21st century fascists. It's also clear that the Labour Party will do nothing meaningful to change it.

Aren’t two of the regions actually running pretty well commercially anyway / have external backing - perhaps they’ll continue without WRU support? It’s so sad what’s happening though across the whole game - losing 3 English Prem sides in 1 season plus Champ side Jersey was awful

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

🇫🇷 Macron: "We know what the lack of security guarantees means. It happened in Georgia in 2008, and it also happened in Crimea in 2014. There is complete certainty that if a peace agreement is concluded without security guarantees, Russia will never keep its word."

Trump has played right into Putins hands here yet again - as now it looks like it’s the Ukrainians who “don’t want peace”. Talks that exclude the invaded country are always going to be a stitch up. Fuck Trump. Fuck Putin.

How far off was Rees-Zammit from ever getting close to actually playing? There was so much hype originally. Mind you the same thing happened with the English rugby player Christian Wade a few years back. He came back to rugby union - mind you he's now changed sport again and gone to rugby league!
