THE MOST ICONIC TRIO! 😭
Taylor Swift and HAIM sisters are wearing nicknamed jerseys to tonight’s game:
• Taylor: “Stevie Knicks”.
• Alana: “Knickelback”.
• Este: “Knickole Kidman”.
This is so essential American.
"I don't know a single thing about Algeria, I cannot find it on a map, but you showed me a modicum of kindness and I am now ride or die for every single Algerian for the rest of my natural life."
A centuries-old tradition at the Tower of London 🏰
Last night, Tower residents, officials and children from Tower Bridge Primary School joined us for the ceremony of Beating the Bounds!
🎥 Watch as we process around the Tower and beat the boundary stones with willow wands.
An MP appeared to shout 'Not now, Andy!' after the door to the House of Commons was slammed in front of the Black Rod ahead of the King's Speech in parliament.
The joke may refer to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, who is seen as a potential challenger for the Labour leadership against Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The tradition of the door being slammed in front of the monarch's messenger is customary ahead of the State Opening of Parliament.
A lot of jokes from King Charles tonight.
“You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”
Actually wild to say… and even wilder to post from the White House account.
Might be time for a quick refresher on what the executive branch is, and maybe a very basic compare/contrast between a constitutional monarchy and a democratic republic.
King Charles, "The story of the United Kingdom and the United States is, at its heart, a story of reconciliation, renewal, and remarkable partnership"
"From the Bitter Divisions of 250 years ago, we forged a friendship that has grown into one of the most consequential alliances in human history"
"I pray with all my heart that our alliance will continue to defend our shared values with our, uh, partners in Europe and the commonwealth and across the world"
"And that we ignore the clarion calls to become ever more inward looking"
"Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, America's words carry weight and meaning. As they have since independence"
"The actions of this great nation matter even more. President Lincoln understood this so well with his reflection in the magisterial Gettysburg address, that the world may little note what we say, but we'll never forget what we do"
"And so, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other in the selfless service of, our peoples and of all the peoples of the world"
"God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom"
