Have a guess who this is a photograph of? It’s Vincent Van Gogh. I’m blown away that there is an actual photograph of him. How did I not know? He was 19 years old when this was taken. I can’t tell you who the photographer was as it’s not recorded.

Harry Kane is great role model. As well as being a world class footballer, England captain and all time record goalscorer for England, he’s also a decent bloke. Here he is showing his appreciation to his wife, Kate Goodland after receiving the Ballon D’or.

Where do I begin? That was an evening I'll never forget. It’s an incredible honour to receive the Ballon d’Or award after a year full of goals, trophies and special milestones. Thank you to all the staff and my teammates at @england and @fcbayern, as well as family, friends and everyone who’s supported me – this wouldn’t be possible without you all. Thank you to everyone who has sent a kind message, social media post - I appreciate every single one of them. This will live long in the memory. 🙌🏆❤️

In the spring I purchased a #kitfox project in Switzerland. Originally supplied in 1995 and worked on for a few years. My intention is to build it specifically for nighttime pyrotechnic Airshow’s. It is having a Rotax914 Engine of 115 hp at takeoff and 100 hp continuous rated

True, but the two occasions when I've made a go-around in anger (as opposed to a training or test flight) there was absolutely no other sensible choice. Ie, I was bric*ing it!

Nothing improves safety like making pilots do math on whether a touch-and-go is worth the fee.

This is utter nonsense.

Jackdaw will create 27 jobs but will cause 8000 deaths from extreme heat. Jackdaw won’t save you a penny on energy bills but will cause £16 billion of climate damage, like more wildfires and droughts. A great day for fossil fuel bosses, not for anyone else.

France is in flames (yet he wants to rejoin the EU). Trump is selling out Ukraine, cosying up to Putin again A cost-of-living crunch is looming this winter, especially fuel bills. He still hasn’t told us how or when defence spending will reach 3% GDP. Inflation is rising once more, as are interest rates. Russian forces are threatening our infrastructure, especially undersea data and energy links. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, our Gulf allies are under attack. And PM Burnham drivels about this!! It’s like the opening sketch from Saturday Night Live.

TikTok star Andy Burnham is back on TikTok displaying all his talents as an overblown local councillor, addressing the serious situation in Europe and how to stop the boats. Only kidding. He's talking about how to be good boys and girls on public transport. On TikTok 🤓👍

Let me get this straight. Work all your life building a business. Sell that business to a rando - charged at 24%. Try to pass it on to your family - charged at 45%. Genuinely insane telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
