This is better. Better that England lose the final and get pulled apart by Spain. I’d hate to be them losing two finals in a row. Much better to not get within an ass’ roar of qualifying. 🤔😂

Just saw Mick Mulvaney on Channel 4 news argue that #Trump might increase his vote share among Black and Latin voters because they think he will empathise with their experiences of the US justice system. The thing least wrong about this is that Trump can empathise. www.channel4.com/news/mulvane...

I’m not surprised she’s cress. Comparing her to a lettuce was just the tip of the iceberg. She could’ve romaine-d as PM without it but instead it was the endive the road for her. I mean oakleaf-dokely she was no gem but she could’ve turned over a new leaf.

Of course part of it too. Of course it’s not dodgy at all that such a controversial entry in the current climate could win or come second in that many public votes. And it’s not like it was the stand out song….

Do Americans realise how bizarre it is that you need courts to consider whether politicians need to obey the law? The idea that a president or national leader can just do what they like is ridiculous - unless it is a dictatorship. But even they are held to account after they are ousted.
