Tree of the Day the lighter one nestling in the warm embrace of friends. Taken from a train travelling at speed somewhere in the Midlands
Good to get Tree of the Day out of the way early so I can concentrate fully on the journey north and the relegation survival battle. The tree outside our local All Hallows’ Church is looking particularly stunning. I don’t do God but I do feel this is something of an omen for the victory ahead. The picture is saying headed winner from a corner … if you can’t see that, you’re not a true believer in all things claret #utc

2-7 some worthy runners up within a five minute walk of each other. What a beautiful city. And so clean!! Now setting off for the biggest game of the decade!! @burnleyofficial #utc And a great omen in pic 8. Setting off from van Woustraat which almost certainly means our 🇳🇱striker Wout Weghorst will put the nightmare of the late miss v Villa behind him and score the winner tomorrow … it’s written in the road signs.
Tree of the Day. And podium of the day. Where am I?
I was so consumed with the @burnleyofficial game I forgot all about Tree of the Day yesterday. So thanks to our old neighbour Charlie Bridge for this absolute beaut from El Salvador. First ever Tree of the Day 🥇 for 🇸🇻
Clip here of @restispolitics in which @rorystewartuk admits to reliving the ‘nightmare’ of his Tory leadership TV debate, which he watched back for the first time last week, and I give him a few thoughts on how he could have done better!! Dramatic stuff. LINK IN BIO for the full episode which covers this and so much more
Johnson Truss seem to be viewed as fairly irrelevant. Low key coverage to the latest Brexit lies and farce. Pic 1 news in brief under Orban. Pic 2 Inside page ‘London looking for a fight’. Pic 3 @bild give their famous back page to Wag-gate so Rebekah will be happy. Pic 4 fascinating analysis of Zelensky speech. They have analysed every word as negative or positive and declared he is more positive than negative in his rhetoric.
New episode @restispolitics out now LINK IN BIO. I seem to have become @rorystewartuk therapist as he relives the ‘nightmare’ of the TV debate with Johnson which led to him stripping off his tie and pulling agonised faces! Then he becomes mine as I explain why I never stood for Parliament (@davidginolaofficial has a walk on part.) we also discuss Ireland, Wales, Sri Lanka, Israeli violence at funeral, food security, Teal independents in the Australian elections, German Länder elections, Francois Hollande views on Putin and Johnson, the weakening of international institutions, and to help A Level students next week we have a debate on the power of the press. Oh, and Mrs Vardy and Mrs Rooney of course. We know our audience!!!!
Hallo aus Hamburg! Tree heaven, especially down by Lake Alster. Pic 1, my winning Tree of the Day, is in the garden of the US Consulate. The picture doesn’t quite capture its size, spread or awe. First ever shared 🥇 between 🇩🇪 and 🇺🇸- enjoy my ten favourites but frankly there could have been hundreds on the podium!! Danke Hamburg. Was für eine fantastische Baumstadt!!
Deliberate error of course!! In the one we posted last night our brilliant young film maker Vasco - not born at the time of the Good Friday Agreement - redrew the border as a way of highlighting the importance of borders in the N Ireland situation! Mistake spotted, admitted and fixed (if only Johnson would take the same approach). LINK IN BIO for full episode. New one being recorded today for release tomorrow.
