This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough.

If you listen to one thing today, make it this 60 seconds of commentary on BBC Radio York…

I can’t imagine a more humiliating way to go out.

Waiting For Godot: famously a play about waiting for something that eventually turns up.

I love these goofy anti-education losers because they think you just rocked up with a chisel at 18 and someone said 'ok so do what you want, enjoy, cathedral there please'. The guilds and apprenticeships were hardcore. It was a degree, as we'd understand it, and highly specialised

@DonaldClarke63 Agreed, there is record of him visiting UK in 2010 and going to Bristol among other places but can’t find any evidence of this anecdote (which would surely have been a big story)

Fox host: I think it is alarming that we have not been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian people. Do they have drinking water, food?

Trump: Do you remember when we had lunch years ago at Trump Tower? You have not changed. You may be even better looking.

@SamSamwhite @CourtNewsUK Yeah the woman in the car was their cousin, according to the Sun https://t.co/cHjFe9yEuj

I have huge admiration for Verstappen as a driver. But this is a bad look for him and his team.
Also - a pity that other journalists didn’t leave, or at least question him - or Red Bull - harder on that level of entitlement. It’s not like it was even a particularly nasty question

I’ll never understand how displays like this don’t cause people to spontaneously combust with embarrassment.

Hate to think of how many students have suffered and job applications have been ignored because the software that does stuff like this basically doesn’t work.

NEW: Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video for President Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, U.S. officials say.

One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”

Extraordinary. An entire thread of people debating whether a regular, generic, quite obvious bait-and-switch joke in a newspaper column was written accidentally.

@VictoriaPeckham Fair enough, but you wrote 'cared' in the tweet and 'passionate about' in the copy, and both of those words apply to today's government re minimum wage

The FT's longtime Tehran correspondent Najmeh Bozorgmehr has written an anti-war manifesto that is simultaneously intimate and epic, heart-breaking and hopeful. A reminder how war is an assault on humanity itself.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.
