Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Time for King Charles to visit Canada, where he is head of state and has every right to go whenever he wants. I have no doubt the welcome would be ecstatic. And very symbolic. Retweet if you agree.

@michaelskgrant @WhiteHouse Apparently it was the boyfriend of Marjorie Taylor Greene the far right Congress woman

@SayeedaWarsi @Conservatives I've listened to the good sense you talk and am appalled and ashamed by many of the comments on your announcement made by others. They have no place in our country.

Party politics aside -
Obama uses his Convention speech to address the recent demise in both democratic standards and conduct of politics - calling for greater aspiration to act as a global exemplar in increasingly troubled times.
His comments about offering solutions not rallying hate, the impact of social media and acting as a force for good on the global stage - apply equally here as in the US.

The UK is drifting, unhappy, losing faith in previously respected institutions (like the police), buffeted by extremists (often allowed to run amok), dismayed by decline, angry at the inability of the political class to do anything about it, despairing that the Westminster politico/media bubble pursues an agenda, issues and priorities (look at the obsession with Lee Anderson) which are not most people’s — and had enough of being lectured to by a disconnected, de haut en bas chattering class. Yet we have a Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition incapable of speaking up for the moderate majority, who still have pride in their country and are desperate for strong leadership and guidance through the current morass — plus some hope/sign things will get better — all within the bounds of traditional British tolerance and fair play. This vacuum is dangerous.

We join our Regiment in wishing HM King Charles III, our Captain General, a Happy Birthday! It is a great honour to be one of only six Royal-Warranted ceremonial bodyguards. The HAC fired a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London to celebrate the occasion at 1300hrs today

@PikemenHAC Eighteen potential members paraded for the first day of their recruits course last Sunday, all keen to serve the Lord Mayor and the City in the proud tradition of the HAC. Good luck gentlemen!

[Lord Mayor's Show @lordmayors_show]

A brief pause now while the Lord Mayor swears allegiance and @girlguidingLSW serve lunch to 6000 marchers. The procession will set off again on the Embankment at 1:10. Look out for a ferocious display from the Pikemen of @HACRegiment at 2:31 when the Lord Mayor arrives home.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Who could possibly want the job...? Only Boris I guess.

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

💥 BREAKING: Labour Conference has voted to "make a manifesto commitment to Proportional Representation at the next election."

We are closer to real change than we have been in decades. Bring on the next steps!

[Richard Peters @RichardNPeters]

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Should a Prime Minister be allowed to withdraw the whip from one of his MPs for other than disciplinary reasons? I feel it is undemocratic; we elected Anne Milton to represent us for the full parliamentary term.

@Peston Belted Galloway cattle. Good at surviving on poor pasture but there are some here in leafy Surrey too.
