📍Manchester

Donald Trump’s court within the White House is one of gold, tat and beautiful women... while Americans struggle to afford food and petrol. “Hey Mr President, Louis XIV called. He thinks the Oval Office is looking a bit much!”

Enjoyed a nice wander around the city today with the boy checking out the new markets at Campfield and Grape Street, and the Makers Market at First Street. Gorgeous street food, bits and pieces to buy. Still love this city so much!

The term “witch hunt” is overused in politics. Perhaps not now. Quite a bit of the British media should ask themselves serious questions as to whether the coverage they gave to this man was remotely proportionate. Likewise there are Qs for Cambridge- and whether they discharged their duty of care.

Cambridge University should have known better, Fleet Street should have known better, the people hungrily absorbing every bit of news about it, making newsrooms feel like they had to keep going with it as a story, should have known better, horrible horrible horrible
