- After four years of no dog in the White House, Champ and Major Biden will be moving in. AND Major will be the first ever rescue dog to be first canine!
- A Ukrainian man has been arrested for attempting to sink the €7m yacht owned by his boss - Russian arms tycoon Alexander Mijeev. He opened valves in the engine room and compartment - then told the crew to abandon ship. Hauled in front of a judge, he said "I'd do it again".
- Am I being a massive snob for absolutely detesting when a bloke calls his partner “the missus”?
- This interview is... unbelievable. I have no words.
- Replying to @charliehtweetsThe crew and other workers at the Majorca port tried to stop the water leak and the yacht partially sunk. When the police arrived he turned himself in and assumed full responsibility. He told officers: "My boss is a criminal who sells weapons that kill the Ukrainian people."
- Day three of a 10pm curfew: people in Liverpool have gone to the off license to pick up more drinks and continue to party in the street.
- This is without a doubt the best 'child interrupts BBC news interview' i've ever seen. Zero fucks given, doing some interior design in the background behind her mum, then comes over to demand the presenter's name

- Day two of a 10pm curfew: Oxford Circus has turned into an impromptu party

- Replying to @charliehtweetsPresident Trump had no dogs (or pets of any kind) during his presidency. Vice President elect Kamala Harris doesn’t have a pet but in her defence, is on the record as being pro-dogsDogs are always welcome in my Senate office – here are a few paw-licy advisors who regularly stop by. #NationalPetDay
