@SecWar Just checking in to see how much war you’ve done today. I know it’s your first day, but you’ve got to try and do a a bit of war each day, otherwise you won’t be doing your job. Start with something light. I’m spitballing, but Venezuela maybe?
@HullCity Bloody hell. He’s giving away free tickets to fill the ground without really stopping to think about why the ground was half empty in the first place. Eejit.
“Vladimir, Stop!” Honestly. You sound like the head cheerleader trying to get one of the jocks to stop wedgying the guy who will eventually be the hero of the movie.
@realDonaldTrump If you’re calling one of them by their first name and one by their last name it really sends a signal whose side you’re on. #theartofthedeal
@RestIsPolitics I get Tony Blair’s comments completely, as someone who my therapist has told is both anxious and depressed, but my psychiatrist has confirmed has neither anxiety nor depression. I often wonder how many people in my camp are quickly diagnosed to be in the other.
Charlie thinks that his farm is worth £4m. James tells C to sell some of it to pay any inheritance tax. C says “no-one wants to buy it”. By the rules of market forces, his land really isn’t worth £4m, it’s worth nothing. So he wouldn’t have to pay inheritance tax. Job done. QED.
"I'm not your mate! I hate you, I think you're an idiot!"
James O'Brien hasn't had an argument like this for years...
Caller Charlie stands to inherit his dad's farm and isn't happy with the new tax changes.
@restisents re: theme tunes. Can I make a (slightly late) case for the wonderfully “meta” theme for 4th-wall breaking “It’s Garry Shandling Show” - it’s not the best theme, and I know it’s a bit knowing, but I love the way the song breaks the rules in the same way the show does.
@peter_levy Only 2% of people regularly attend a C of E church. Only 16% identify as C of E. So why are we surprised that no-one knows about an at-best moderately important Christian figure. St George’s Day is an anachronism.
We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
@KemiBadenoch How right you were to point out the “false equivalence” between Hamas - an organisation that killed 1,300 innocent people - and the Israeli Government - an organisation currently topping out at killing over 7,000 and still counting.
