Did you see this ad, @TheOpen and @RandA? This is the kind of protest - and headlines - you can expect to see if you give Trump the 2028 Open. Do the right thing and pick a better venue!

Word of the day is ‘cancelphoria’: the joy of discovering that an arrangement you were dreading has been called off, leaving you with the satisfaction of not having cancelled first, and the bliss of staying at home.

With MPs voting on assisted dying next Friday, our new study shows that 73% of Britons think, in principle, that assisted dying should be legal – only 13% say it should not - with widespread support across all social groups

@GordonBrown Surely we can do both at the same time.

@Asm1944 @TyneSnapper @DaveFromUpNorth Rawlinson made many such similar reports across the country. Later, he accompanied Florence Nightingale to the Crimea.

Donald Trump on RFK Jr (June): “He’s a fake. He's a total fake. He's more liberal than Joe Biden and all of these communists that work for him.”

@CoopParty @RachelReevesMP Great news for the mutual and co-op movement.

Gary Lineker is a football presenter tweeting in his time off.

Laura Kuenssberg is Chief Political Presenter for the BBC literally breaking her neutrality every single second that she presents live on the BBC.

But she is owned by the Right so that is ok.

@RhonddaBryant Thanks for this, Chris. Timely. Withnell is, of course, part of Chorley, and as a member of the Chorley Historical and Archaeological Society, I really appreciate this. I have copied it onto the Historic Chorley Facebook page.

Brexiteers promised us a free trade deal with the US. Instead, we are getting 20% tariffs, imposed by the president the Brexiteers went over to campaign for.

@SophyRidgeSky I disagree. Trump had Truss and Farage!

@tonypatt2000 We could do without the entire Royal Family. Many people after the recent Channel 4 documentary are starting to appreciate the cost of having a monarchy. Hopefully they will also realise that we will never be a true democracy until we have an elected head of state.
