I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

Yeah, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, but I very much doubt we've got the capacity to deploy them both simultaneously.

This is what I love about #FestivaldaCancao. Everyone thinks it's a Eurovision show, but in many ways it feels more like a cool post-midnight corner of Glasto.

Jeez, it leaves me wanting to defend Starmer (ON THIS ONE POINT AND ON THIS ONE POINT ONLY) and that has me feeling soiled.

Melodifestivalen may have all the glamour and glitz, but do they get a cheeseboard in the green room? I think not.

Song 5. Well this feels very 90s indie. I'm not hating it..

Pretty sure we're not really capable of deploying both our aircraft carriers at once, so Lord knows what Fanta Fuhrer is banging on about here.

Wait, #FestivaldaCancao is on for another three hours but they're already nearly halfway through the songs? Just how much of an interval do they have?

Much interval. Very interval.

This first song is the only one who've explicitly said they'll go to Eurovision if they win. Fortunately it's dull as dishwater.

7 out of 10 of #FestivaldaCancao acts have said they won't go to Eurovision if they win.

C'mon Portugal. You have the chance to do the funniest thing.

Not gonna lie, I'm not seeing anything here that's winning Eurovision this year. So, it's either Finland, France, or Israel rigs the vote again.

Smash Into Pieces are just so funny. I've never seen a pop-rock band try so damn hard to look badass πŸ˜‚

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.
