From our son in Ukraine. There is a genuine pub in Lutsk, Ukraine, named after @BorisJohnson @Telegraph
I see that the media are warning of a shortage of tea. Why do I have the feeling that the attacks on shipping causing this may have been orchestrated by a certain Mr Tetley, Mr P G Tips and Mr T Y Phoo, just to increase demand for their products?
We're celebrating the first anniversary of the @Telegraph PlusWord puzzles with a live blog today, which is running from 11am. There's lots of puzzles content, and I'm online to answer questions left in comments. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/2…
Today, @Telegraph Puzzles has launched its new word perfect puzzle: Panagram. You can read more and play Panagram here: telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/2023…
A little piece by me on acrostics in today’s @Telegraph. Can you spot the acrostic in the article? telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/2023…
"Rapid unscheduled disassembly" may just be my new favourite ever phrase. I love Elon Musk.

Emma and I have our wedding anniversary today. Adopting the now traditional method of measuring such things, it's 19 Chelsea managers since we tied the knot.
Fantastic piece of trivia, number two. Gina Coladangelo, Matt Hancock’s bit on the side, is the great-niece of former goalkeeper and BBC sports presenter Bob Wilson. That’s another completely useless fact; but, again, I’m happier for having found it out.
There are many ways to call somebody a fool! My latest for the @Telegraph seems appropriate as it’s April Fool’s Day: telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/2023…
Here’s a fantastic piece of trivia. Former Radio One DJ Janice Long and her husband were the winners of the first ever episode of the game show 3-2-1 in 1978. That’s a completely useless fact, but one that I feel much better for knowing.
⏱ I just completed Killer Sudoku No. 3,833 in 32:33. telegraph.co.uk/puzzles/puzzle…
