Apparently Trump did leave a letter for Biden (contrary to expectations that he wouldn't as yet another childish snub).

Can you even imagine what he might have written (other than some pictures with his sharpie)?

BBC News channel

I think you're right. It sounds like the plane was taking off to the sounds of "My Way"...

The BBC got Mary Trump to comment, and she didn't disappoint...

"He got in his racism. He took credit for Obama's administration. He's pre-emptively taking credit for Biden's administration. He didn't even acknowledge the devastation suffered by this country due to his wilful mismanagement of Covid. He took no responsibility for anything. He took credit for things that had nothing to do with him. And, the military, as a 5-time draft dodger... (and she goes on)"

Was reading about the deep-cleaning that normally happens, and they're going mad with it this year. The article mentioned that they replace mattresses, and emphasised (amusingly) that the new President and his wife will be sharing a bedroom.

His speech (on now) is hilarious.

"People have no idea how hard this family has worked..."

My Mum (who is 83) gets her vaccine this afternoon. Not sure what's happening with her second dose but hopefully she will hear later.

Had my Dad's funeral in early December. He had a fair few friends in the village where he lived, and they were keen to pay their respects, so there was a modest ceremony (huge airy church, doors open, everyone masked and fully spread out, etc...) I suppose it was somewhat stark, although it was good to be able to mark the occasion. The hardest part was, I guess, not being able to gather with family and friends afterwards to share memories... Anyway, good luck with it.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is due to be sentenced imminently. Apparently Kate Hopkins has turned up in court to watch proceedings.

On reflection I wonder if the person who said Johnson had thrown Darroch under a "bus" was craftily playing Johnson at his own SEO game and trying to reassociate that word with negative actions? Almost certainly not but it's a vaguely entertaining idea :)

Yes, I read somewhere that the distribution list might be around 5 to 10 people in the first instance, so starting the process of investigating should not be too difficult (although clearly roadblocks will appear along the way)

Pathetically underhand behaviour from (surely not...) Team Boris in the leaking of Kim Darroch's comments on the Trump administration. And no great surprise to hear Nigel Farage on the radio this morning demanding that Darroch needs to go.

Fox get some feedback on Trump
