I've been spending the morning watching Indian TV news coverage of the deadly border clash with China. The commentary is QUITE something.

China is well prepared for and holds the advantage in a potential larger military conflict with India, which should not take China’s restraint as a sign of weakness. Both sides should maintain restraint as military clashes don’t fit each other’s interests. https://t.co/JPXrzgbZlL pic.twitter.com/Zg5rh4rUZL

BREAKING: US Justice Dept. files a civil lawsuit against Fmr. National Security Adviser John Bolton to prevent publication of his upcoming book.https://t.co/lzd1bBWLzV
— MSNBC (@MSNBC) June 16, 2020
Reports that book has already been shipped to stores, so it is beyond Bolton’s control. This is Barr using the Justice Department as Trump’s law firm. This isn’t about national security but a POTUS in trouble. If Barr wanted to stop publication he would have named the publisher! https://t.co/eT7OIqKsYg

Guardian front page, Wednesday 17 June 2020: Rashford forces PM into U-turn on free meals pic.twitter.com/7Pxw28sjtg

Dear @MarcusRashford
What you have done is absolutely magnificent. You have used your influence with purpose and good intent and made a socially responsible difference to the lives of millions of people.
You are a credit to yourself, your family and your football club. https://t.co/0sHX9IOQ1R
— James Melville (@JamesMelville) June 16, 2020
The @BBCNews interview with Rashford gushingly asks him what it was like talking to the PM, as if he was some star-struck kid who’s dream came true, while taking spurious credit for informing Johnson of Rashford’s campaign. Tone deaf and facile.

My family were doing pretty well until my Dad got MND when I was 9, my brother 7 my sister 5, my older sister was 16, we had to rely on free school meals. Life changes for families, to suggest you shouldn’t have children in case you fall on hard times is Dickensian! https://t.co/FdWxP4FQfa

It’s suspicious (to me) that dexamethasone has been touted already by newsoutlets as the “miracle” drug w/o the release of the actual journal publication. Oh, and stocks skyrocket in response? 🤔
