Hello everyone. Sorry we are so late. Forgot to verify the old email thing. Here now. @thenewsagents.bsky.social

We got medals this week. Courtesy of St Gregory’s primary school Sudbury - and their brilliant head teacher who told the kids we were his teachers “ and adults go on learning forever .. “. It is my first -and I suspect last- gold medal. But it is a fine one.

Starlings, Winchelsea

I am generally not a believer in the old slippery slope argument and find it quite a sloppy excuse - but today whilst running I did actually twist my ankle quite badly on a slippery slope so now I’m confused. #karma.

I just asked for a Christmassy log burner in the studio. And this is what we now have….. @thenewsagents.com

Im not sure the New York Post has yet made it to @bsky.app so worth posting this opinion piece slamming the latest cabinet picks - from a hugely invested/ Trump friendly paper

I was so naive last week - joking these picks were like choosing Harold shipman to run the DOH. But I get it now. If you fundamentally hate federal government and want all gov departments to swiftly fail , this is exactly what you’d do ..

So interesting to view Brexit from the European side - this is Angel Markel writing in her memoirs ( extracts from @thetimes.com )- about it being a humiliation for European leaders …

All the president’s nodding dogs

Senate Republicans know that Matt Gaetz is unfit to run US law enforcement. But defying Donald Trump is bigger than defending democracy

Steve @stevehiltonx may not have meant it quite like this - but this is true now - and critical. Trump owns everything that happens now. In his administration. In Congress. In his cabinet. It’s on him. Let’s see.

Where is Assad ? Rebels are closing in on Damascus - unclear what has happened to the president. Expected to speak now but “ missing in action “ -

Youngest suspect was just 22 years old at the time- went to the Pelicots house on the night his own daughter was born. He abused a drugged woman - Gisele - and has just been given 12 year sentence.

You just can’t go anywhere without you being discussed can you @mrjamesob.bsky.social
Must be exhausting.

Meanwhile .. Trump is refusing to rule out military force to take back the Panama Canal and indeed Greenland. - and he’d like to annexe Canada ..

On the bright side .. might this be the end of dental shaming for the Uk by our glossier Atlantic counterparts …
