BREAKING - Trump abandons fallen soldiers, goes golfing instead

Trump was supposed to meet coffins of 4 fallen US soldiers who died in an accident in Lithuania — meeting them at Dover Air Force Base as presidents traditionally do

📉 On a scale of 1-10, how bad is this? (And remember, 10 equals death.)

Most challenges sit way below a 10. Take a step back, breathe, and focus on what you can do. Perspective changes everything.

Check back next Saturday for question 2!

On that “1 in 12 Londoners is an illegal migrant” story, this is quite the correction from The Times
Sadly I doubt the fact it was nonsense will make headlines

Over 60 German and Austrian universities, the German Federal Court of Justice and multiple top German football clubs have announced on Friday that they will be completely withdrawing from Twitter, as a result of Elon Musk's "discussion" with far-right AfD's Alice Weidl.

❗️EXCLUSIVE: We’ve just captured this astonishing drone footage of the breached Bridgewater Canal in Dunham Massey.

It shows the damage suffered by the canal in last night’s flooding and the extent to which it has leaked into the neighbouring fields.

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton.

Impressively strong sustained wind speeds in parts of west Wales, Storm Force 10 (>55mph) and, in Aberdaron, Violent Storm Force 11 (>64mph).

Not too far away from hurricane force.

@StockportMBC That's all well and good but some one crashed into our stationary parked car this morning, and we are very upset. It was sheet ice out there this morning.

National Trust once again has highest web traffic of any UK charity, according to the Salience Report. Even more visits than last year, when we were also top of the pops. We're a nation of people in search of lovely places, lovely people and lovely cake. Long may we clink teacups

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb.

He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time.

When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.
