I’m struggling to see what the gov’t has got right so far. Piers Morgan has been reliable in his scrutiny. His scepticism has been undeniably well placed.
Maya, 8, has swapped sardine tins for pink trainers. Born without legs she is making great progress in Istanbul a month after leaving a Syrian refugee camp. Thanks to the kind doctor who helped her.
A colossus in our business
@BillNeelyNBC
is taking a bow. Well done. What a career. Multi-award winning, but even better than that. Thank you grandmaster Bill.
Thank you to the Peshmerga, the Syrian Kurds and Iraq”s Counter Terrorism Force for winning the ground war against ISIS. The world owes you a great debt.
DUP intransigence looks awful. Has the appearance of holding the UK to ransom. Does not reflect majority view in NI either. Best for the union? Doubt it very much.

When Churchill asked his hostess in Cairo for a glass of wine with breakfast he noted her alarm and sought to reassure -“don”t worry it”ll be my third drink of the day.”
Shelled by Turkey yesterday, the Syrian Kurds’ capital Qamishli was attacked by IS today. Car bomb killed at least five people.
US abandonment looking worse by the day.
How deeply saddening it is that Seamus Mallon is gone. Goodness, I enjoyed his company. Always witty and wise, he was my favourite of that groundbreaking era.
Is the possibility that millions of Britons may now bend or ignore gov’t guidelines worth keeping Mr Cummings in his job? Proportionally this doesn’t add up.
The great Syrian Kurds lost 10,000 fighting IS on behalf of civilisation. The Trump backstab will be a stain on US foreign policy forever. An indelible disgrace.

Is she really worth the investment Kevin? A prodigal daughter? What about young people who fell through the cracks IN the UK; young people who did not regard beheadings; slavery etc as just fine? Surely young non-traitors are more deserving in these constrained times?
As the US electorate appears to say goodbye in writing, Mr Trump responds with a distressing tirade of invective. He has stooped to - Make America Hate Again!
Baghdadi killed for fun and effect. Beheadings, drownings, burning people alive, throwing others from tall buildings. Beyond the pale, but least should be said about his dispatch, surely?
Wonder will those who rampaged in the US Capital today be undone by their refusal to wear the masks that might have hidden their identity from the plethora of security cameras?
The fate of the Islamic State-less is a tough issue as the caliphate is wiped out.
Rehabilitating fanatical and/or gullible Britons will be vexing, not least because mercy and forgiveness hasn’t really been their thing.
“Great and unmatched wisdom.” Can anybody think of anyone - in the history of humankind - who said that about themselves whom they admire? Nope, me neither.
Worrying how fear, complexity and confusion helps the extremes flourish. It”s why there”s a DUP v Sinn Fein axis in NI. It”s also why Brexit is coming down to No Deal v 2nd vote. Those in middle of the road get run over!
Brilliant allies in Rojava and Iraqi Kurdistan it seems the Kurds are always betrayed in the end. There MUST be Republicans who know how foul and shameful this is. Surely??
Has anyone been able to fathom what the government’s threat to override international law over Brexit agreement actually means? News orgs are doing their best, but sorry....struggling.

Best series ever Don. The titles, the music, Olivier. Remember being small and terrified after The Big Match on a Sunday when it came on. Should be compulsory viewing.
During WW2 Churchill”s hostess in Cairo asked at 7am for his breakfast order. Among other things he wanted a tumbler of white wine. Seeing she was taken aback he tried to reassure - “don’t worry, it”ll be my third drink of the day.”
@DonaldClarke63
Could it be linked to the fact when you are on Republic of Ireland roads heading in the polar opposite direction of southwards there are massive signs with directions to The NORTH?
@BowenBBC
I watched from the Israeli side and was shocked as the tank beside hit the last car in the convoy in the Lebanese valley below. No reason for the shot whatsoever, I maintain.
Iranian students protesting now in Tehran. Accusing their government of incompetence following admission Iran shot down the Ukrainian airliner, killing more than 80 Iranians on board.

Honey is interesting. The only food in the world that never goes off. In theory honey found in Pharoahs” tombs could be revived with water and eaten.
