One thing that REALLY gets on my goat is the UK police force buying foreign cars. There are around 40,000 police vehicles on the road and the majority of them are built abroad! That’s approx £1.2bn going off-shore if they’re replaced every 3 years. It’s only a matter of time until we have BYD police cars… If I was in charge of the country the first thing I’d do is mandate that all UK emergency services must buy vehicles built in Britain. 🇬🇧 I mean how obvious is that to help our own economy, job market and above all pride?

I’m staying at a stately home and this lovely little A2 is in the grounds. Such a shame as it looks like it’s been abandoned. I’m going to try and buy it off the owner and bring it back to life. I wonder if it was the Lady’s of the house one titled owner from new?

That’s me, early 20s at Audi HQ, posing by a dream car.

My reality was a Citroën C2 with no brakes. At that age I could probably have identified every new car by its rear lights, more than I can now. Hopelessly obsessed but completely clueless

Anyway, the Audi R8 has remained a dream car. I’d argue it’s the best value genuinely great car money can buy. The V8 is one of the nicest ever made, and every time I hear it start up it takes me back to my early 20s, wishing with every bit of me that I could own one.

I do all of this for that girl.

TTs of all shapes and sizes…

[Helen @hjwakerley]

Right now, Audi HQ is winning the German car museum wars. It is absolutely chock full of the coolest concepts.

I left feeling like Audi had missed a trick not making some of these…

(Wait till you see the TTs 👇)

That's us! 🌍

The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

Stunning morning capturing King Charles III walking the new King Charles III Coastal path at Seaford on The South Downs - Couldn’t have been a better day for it and he certainly enjoyed getting out and about!

“I don’t think the European countries are going to come and bail out of this mess. You have to think about the context here. Trump just spent a year hurting their economies on purpose, threatening to attack NATO, threatening to pull out of NATO. And then the Trump administration started this war without even bothering to consult them, didn’t take their interests into account until he needed them. And their populations are at historic levels of anti-Americanism because of how we’ve treated them over the last year.”

“And they are democracies, so I don’t think their leaders are going to be able to overcome that. And why would they? It’s much easier, and you’ll see a bunch of countries doing this, to negotiate with the Iranians. The Iranians are setting up a system whereby they let the ships pass that they want to let pass. Just in the last 24 hours, they let several ships pass for countries that they’re not at war with. So if you were any country in the world, depending on this Strait, it’s much easier to make a deal with the Iranians than to send your ships down the Strait, to make them sitting ducks for Iranian drones and missiles, which seems crazy reckless.”

Had 124 mile range this morning. After a number of local miles - approx 40, I’ve got 113 miles range left. Amazing how slightly milder weather gives extra range.

Matt Weston has done it! He is the first British man to be Olympic skeleton champion 🤩

[James MacCleary MP @JamesMacCleary]

Keir Starmer must summon the US ambassador over this insult to our brave troops.
Trump’s lies about the British soldiers who laid down their lives in Afghanistan are disgraceful. Trump shows his true colours in denigrating the best of us - those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
