You’ll have probably read how Donald Trump took to his bunker in the face of protests across the US – and close to the White House – following the death of African-American George Floyd in police custody.
Now the so-called president has come out and said he wasn’t hiding in the bunker (intended for use in the event of terrorist attacks, stuff like that) at all. No, he was inspecting it.
Trump tells Fox News radio he didn’t retreat into WH bunker for protection from potential intruders, but instead to examine the place. “it was much more for the inspection,” Trump said — John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) June 3, 2020
And if Trump was stung by the wave of ridicule that greeted him hiding in a bunker, it turns out he ain’t seen nothing yet.

After a lockdown lasting 10 weeks and counting – although now completely devastated by recent changes to the guidance – the UK is only just getting around to introducing a quarantine for travellers entering the UK.

Lord Digby Jones, millionaire and cross-party peer, has come up with a suggestion to boost the morale of the UK.
It’s not a universal basic income, an end to unwanted zero-hours contract or even a badly needed multi-billion pound boost to the public sector.
It’s *checks notes* a new £100 million yacht for the Queen.
NEW Britain needs a new £100million Royal Yacht Britannia to provide 'morale boost' during coronavirus pandemic, former Trade minister Digby Jones tells this week's edition of Chopper's Politics podcast. https://t.co/iH7B2otJSF @ChoppersPodcast — Christopher Hope📝 (@christopherhope) June 4, 2020
He has the backing of Mark Francois, though, so it’s probably a great idea really.

We’re grateful to author Ian Rankin for sharing this obituary from the Times which, he says, reads like something written by Jilly Cooper.
It’s a chap – and it really is a chap – called Sir William Pigott-Brown and you can read the whole thing here (although you’ll have to pay for it).
Fortunately for us Rankin also shared a few highlights.
‘For those champing at the bit for a new Jilly Cooper novel, enjoy these highlights from an obituary in today’s Times,’ said Rankin (@Beathhigh on Twitter).
What a life!
There was also an obituary in Tatler, which probably shouldn’t come as a surprise.
The aristocrat who was ‘part country squire part man-about-town’ with an appetite in equal measure for women, horses and country sports – and who after losing his driving license bought a Rolls Royce convertible and hired a chauffeur to ferry him around.’
It’s another rollicking read. RIP Sir William.

Susie Dent from Countdown’s Dictionary Corner has a way of going viral with the various words of the day she shares on Twitter.
Most, if not all of them are shared without comment, and we can of course never say for sure what she was thinking of when she tweeted them.
But we reckon we’ve got a pretty good idea with most of them though. Like this one, for instance.
smellfungus (18th century): a grumbler, faultfinder, or one who likes to shift the blame for their own mistakes onto someone else. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) July 7, 2020
Here are 9 other times she threw perfect shade on Twitter.
Word of the day is ‘bloviator’ (19th century): a speaker of empty rhetoric and blower of hot air; someone who talks a lot but says very little. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) May 29, 2020
Aristocracy, before embracing the elite, first meant government by the best of citizens (from the Greek ‘aristos’, ‘best’). Government by the worst people, on the other hand, is kakistocracy. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) June 1, 2020
It’s that time again. A mumpsimus (16th century) is someone who refuses to budge/insists that they are right, despite clear evidence that they are wrong. Plural: mumpsimuses. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) May 25, 2020
Word of the day is 'bayard' (1600s): someone with an unshakeable self-confidence that is rooted in ignorance. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) October 18, 2019
‘Ipsedixitism’ is the dogmatic assertion that something is true because someone, somewhere said it, and without offering any supporting evidence whatsoever. (From the Latin for ‘he said it’). — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) May 1, 2020
It seems like another epithet is needed for today. Sorry if you've heard it from me before, but sometimes it's worth repeating. Snollygoster (1800s): an unprincipled, shameless representative, governed entirely by self-interest.#NotInMyName — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) July 2, 2019
My word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’: a 19th century wooden toy puppet whose limbs jerk about at the whim of the puppet master. It soon became used for a politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) July 17, 2018
While Toilet Duck and Dettol are trending, here's a reminder of the word 'ultracrepidarian': one who consistently offers opinions and advice on subjects way beyond their understanding. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) April 24, 2020
Only occasionally does she leave you in absolutely no doubt.
Cockalorum (18th century): a strutting, self-important individual. (There’s also pavonise: to preen like a peacock). https://t.co/zSkHQYFmHi — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) March 30, 2020
And this little lot weren’t throwing shade, they were just funny or entirely relatable (and sometimes both).
Word of the morning is ‘forwallowed’ (15th century): wearied from tossing and turning all night. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) April 28, 2020
Two words for anyone feeling ramfeezled (overcome with fatigue) this morning:
testudineous: at the pace of a tortoise.
limaceous: in the manner of a slug. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) May 15, 2020
This is your regular reminder that ‘crambazzled’ is old Yorkshire dialect for ‘prematurely aged from excess drinking’. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) May 4, 2020
A reminder that to 'quiddle' (1700s) is to busy oneself with entirely trivial things, as a way of avoiding the important ones. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) April 14, 2020
Given that 'scurryfunging' is running about the house in an effort to tidy up before visitors arrive, I'm wondering what the lockdown equivalent is: slowly clearing up with no visitors in sight. Dawdlefunging? — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) April 5, 2020
Word of the day should you need it is ‘apanthropy’: a love of solitude and a desire to be away from other people. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) December 23, 2018
Let's never forget the 18th century Scottish term 'hurkle-durkling': lounging in bed long after it's time to get up. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) February 21, 2019
This is the obscure, tongue-tricky discovery of my day, noted because it really fills a gap: 'cacoethes' [kak-o-ee-thees] is the desperate urge to do something very inadvisable. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) June 11, 2020
'Uhtceare' was an Anglo-Saxon expression for the 'sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worry about the day ahead [uht-kay-ara; the 'h' is as in 'loch']. — Susie Dent (@susie_dent) June 11, 2020

Watching a Donald Trump interview is one thing, but sometimes it’s only when you read the transcript that the full, overwhelming … Trumpery of it sinks in.
And this exchange, in which he is asked about the low trust in police among Africa-Americans in the wake of the death in police custody of George Floyd, is an extraordinary example of that.
‘Trump’s was asked how to address the problem of low trust in the police among African Americans. Here’s the transcript of his response,’ said CNN reporter Daniel Dale – or @ddale8 – on Twitter.

The Black Lives Matter protests have put an end to social distancing for some people, as did Jacob Rees-Mogg’s drive to get the House of Commons sitting in person again and the irresistible temptation to do the conga with neighbours on VE Day.
For a lot of us, if we didn’t find something to laugh about, we’d cry – and these funny takes can help with that.
1. Children are making the most of a bad job.
8-year-old: *loudly sings into the karaoke machine* Me: Do you have to do that right now? 8: Yes. Me: You're singing Christmas songs. 8: Nobody knows what day it is. — James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) June 4, 2020
2. Boris Johnson may not have the high standards we’d all hope for.
Boris Johnson is immensely proud of his record on corona virus. He’s also immensely proud of his main course on Come Dine With Me pic.twitter.com/wrq7XCZsoJ — Sanjeev Kohli (@govindajeggy) June 4, 2020
3. If you couldn’t force yourself to exercise when you weren’t stressed out, you probably can’t now either.
the funniest joke i’ve ever told myself is how i said i’d do an ab workout everyday in lockdown🌚 — SK🧃 (@Shxhryar) May 28, 2020
4. There’s something familiar about being trapped in with family while your favourite shops are shut and you’re eating for three.
This bit between New Year and Christmas is really dragging now. — Wendy Wason (@Wendy_Wason) June 4, 2020
5. Life doesn’t stop just because there’s work to be done.
Sure climbing Everest is probably challenging but have you worked from home for 10 weeks with a cat & a 6yo? — Paul (@bingowings14) June 4, 2020
6. The guidance timetable doesn’t always make sense.
Wild that masks will only start working in 10 days time. pic.twitter.com/mieKlU0M8H — Karl Tomlinson (@KarlT0) June 4, 2020
7. People should be careful with their flower arrangements.

Seeing as Ivanka had invoked the name of Star Wars, Mark Hamill deserves the last word with this comprehensive takedown of the President.
Sadly for our country, your father fails in every aspect of that Joseph Campbell quote. He has proven himself completely unready to be President. He has shown his "character" & how profoundly unworthy & unfit he is for the office he holds. A real hero would realize this & resign. https://t.co/JpApPoFffg — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) June 6, 2020

As the Black Lives Matter protests continued to build across the world, one group in Bristol decided to put an end to the ongoing debate about what the city should do about the statue of slave trader, Edward Colston.

There were also plenty of people who thought the protesters had a point.

The people criticising the Colston statue removal are right – removing statues of people erases history. That's why everyone's completely forgotten about Hitler. Sorry, I should explain, Hitler was a genocidal dictator in Germany in the 30s and 40s… it's a long story. — Benjamin Partridge (@benpartridge) June 7, 2020

nooooo the correct way to do this to debate it for 18 months and find a single black student to subject to an endless tirade of hate in every major national newspaper before leaving the statue up anyway https://t.co/7NUc1MBYcw — Crowsa Luxemburg (@quendergeer) June 7, 2020

If you're saying the statues should remain in place to help educate, at school I managed to learn long division without there being a fucking statue of it in the middle of a city — Nish Kumar (@MrNishKumar) June 7, 2020
5.
If you’re more concerned about ‘vandalism’ than you are about black people having to walk past a daily reminder that their ancestors were owned as fucking property by the establishment of a country that continues to treat them like second class citizens, you’re a fucking prick. — 🏳🌈 Max 🏳🌈 (@SpillerOfTea) June 7, 2020

How you feel about that statue is how you feel about slavery. Don't let anyone pretend otherwise. — James O'Brien (@mrjamesob) June 7, 2020

Like members of the public, a lot of companies have been sharing their support for the Black Lives Matter protests, which were triggered by the brutal killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.
Laura Towler – a right-wing vlogger – spotted a company that hadn’t spoken out, and took to Twitter to praise them for it.
I’m dead chuffed that Yorkshire Tea hasn’t supported BLM. 😁 — Laura (@thisislaurat) June 6, 2020
She spoke too soon.
Please don't buy our tea again. We're taking some time to educate ourselves and plan proper action before we post. We stand against racism.
#BlackLivesMatter — Yorkshire Tea (@YorkshireTea) June 8, 2020
Take a bow, that tea company.
Their reply had some people reaching for the tea bags – to bin them, and @thisislaurat wasn’t too happy about it either.
NOOOOOO 😭 Yorkshire Tea support BLM! https://t.co/NfG0vgWqNS — Laura (@thisislaurat) June 8, 2020
Her reaction drew support which only served to get another company to show its hand.
Yeah it does suck, Pamela. If you are boycotting teas that stand against racism, you're going to have to find two new tea brands now. #blacklivesmatter #solidaritea — PG tips (@PGtips) June 8, 2020

Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips publicly bog-washing racists on Twitter is just the most British kitsch way of confirming there's a revolution underway.#Solidaritea — Macca 🌐 (@McB00merang) June 8, 2020
You honestly couldn't make this up. People boycotting Yorkshire Tea because they are not racist. Tried to shift their consumer 'loyalty' to PG Tips and… oh shit 😂 Well done tea brands 👏 pic.twitter.com/obkisni8nx — Jodie Robinson (@JodieRobinson16) June 8, 2020
Finally, in case you were wondering which tea to buy …just for fun.
tea brands as political parties: Twinings – Conservatives
Yorkshire – Labour
Yorkshire Gold – New or Corbyn Labour depending who you ask
PG Tips – Lib Dems

At least he won’t go hungry down there.
As always, Janey’s reinterpretation of whatever it was Ivanka Trump was trying to say was a lot more well received than the original.
