Her expressionless face..

The tapping of her ear

How lost she looks

Her little feet on the rubble

Is she, as Netanyahu puts it:

“A murderous Islamist terrorist organization”?

Can we be real about this FFS?

Crocuses yawn, sparrows nest, daffodils trumpet the sun. Spring has returned. With her, she brings a basket of 45 poems – some delicate, some fierce, all of them rich in colour. Sit where you're comfortable, and reach in, to wave twenty-one of @iambapoet.

@RachelReevesMP I am furious that you are considering drastically lowering the Cash ISA limit. I have no need to invest in shares at my time of life. Tucking my income under the mattress is an option!! @Keir_Starmer

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.

His answer is tremendous.

"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?

Just listening to Vance. He has the certainty of someone who is not very bright

@BBCNewsnight Just a reminder ….Churchill would have wiped the floor with this idiot!

[Maggie Mackay @Bonniedreamer]

@BBCNewsnight Winston Churchill wore combat clothing all the way through World War II as leader of the Armed Forces.

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

The Audacity to Believe - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from his 1964 Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech: “I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down men other-centered can build up.”

Let’s have the AUDACITY to share this belief and to commit to making this belief a reality.
