    This was just called “devastating” testimony on Fox News.

    Two months after my Mum died, my father Jolyon followed her today. He was kind and tolerant. And, even at 90, he was still a charmer! But, after 68 years of a happy marriage, he missed Shirley too much. His heart just stopped.

    My Mum, the indomitable Shirley Kay, died on Friday. She was curious and generous to the end. In this difficult time we were fortunate that she died at home, holding hands with her husband of 64 years. We took this photo a week ago in her garden in Cyprus. I was lucky to have her

    To be clear to viewers around the world, in the last 3 press conferences, Trump has ONLY called on conservative news outlets for questions

    The couple who put up this Cheney sign in Wyoming told me they discussed the risk to their own security before doing so. It’s one of the more dispiriting things I’ve heard on this trip around the country. A yard sign can put you at risk. In America.

    My daughter is back from school. Her friends are over and they are downstairs chattering and laughing away. For someone whose children have left home, that sound is the best Christmas present in the world.

    My husband joined a call last night to see what’s needed to assist Afghan refugees. Beyond clothes, furniture, time etc, it turns out that in the DC region alone 3500 people have already offered to house newly arrived families. Impressive.

    The big picture observation - an American President used a precious primetime speech to defend democracy, in America. Tells you a lot about the state of the country.

    My mum Shirley died a year ago. She collected stray animals, cats, dogs, gazelles (we had a nomadic upbringing.) I’d heard the story of the raven she befriended but had never seen a photo, until today. We’re never really old enough to lose our parents.

    Just to be clear - this is a Republican party official saying they'd knowingly vote for a pedophile.
    Replying to @ddale8
    After a long pause, Alabama Bibb County Republican chairman Jerry Pow tells me he'd vote for Roy Moore even if Moore did commit a sex crime against a girl. "I would vote for Judge Moore because I wouldn't want to vote for Doug," he says. "I'm not saying I support what he did."

    Just got back from Cyprus and Austria. It's a different world. People are relaxed, out in cafes, few masks, they meet friends and go to work. People are careful and conscious but the virus is under control there in a way it just isn't here. Land in Dulles and the stress hits.

    In past few days Russian jets buzz US ship in Black Sea, deploys spy ship off Delaware, launches cruise missile. Reaction from Trump? Zero.

    Start to finish this has been a stunning interview. British Royal family getting zero sympathy from US media tonight. Now, how will UK tabloids react?
