Wish I could have found more on other news items, but what became known as Signalgate had peak billing as March drew to a close, and Donald Trump’s tariff tantrums then pushed itheir way to dominate the highlights.
@Acyn
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?
Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes
@FrankC164
So @PeteHegseth leaks U.S. war plans in a group chat—using what appears to be an unauthorized, encrypted app (Signal), which federal employees aren’t even allowed to have on government-issued devices—
and his first move isn’t accountability, it’s to attack the journalist who exposed it.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

6 min - So much symbolism as Teuchel faces his first match as England football manager
Send us Fan Mail
England’s football team has a new manager, Thomas Teuchel. According to the British football pundits, the role is one the hardest in the world in which an incumbent can succeed. This in part is an indisputable measure of a national team’s success, namely winning the highest of prizes, the World Cup.
The significance has grown since the failure to win the Cup since 1966.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

Wit and Wisdom March 2025
The news continues to be dominated by Trumpet calls from the West (Wing). Are we yet at peak Trump?
@HagwithAttitude
Forgot to tell you of my great achievement yesterday!!! I managed to open a pack of bacon using the ‘peel here’ tab, and not the kitchen knife!

I’m adding that to my examples of Everyday Creativity
The Free Press
“For Americans who still cling to the now unfashionable notion that the international system should be ruled by rules and not might, Friday’s incident was a horror.”
@EricL.Daugh
Trump with an interesting statement on RUSSIA in the Oval Office today👀
"I also think that Russia wants to make a deal because in a certain different way, a different way that only I know, only I know, they have no choice either."
@EricIdle
Yes that Eric Idle
If Trump is going to adopt English as the official language of America then he should be paying royalties to England. Obviously we'll let Canada use it for free because a) they're nice and b) half of them prefer French anyway.

6 min - Chess Masters: The Endgame. A review
Send us Fan Mail
BBC 2 attempts to do for chess what Like Littler is doing for darts, generate mass interest in a niche sport.
I watch with mixed emotions, having turned down an invitation to take part mainly out of cowardice. So watch out for a version of non-buyer’s regret in my commentary on the first episode of Chess Masters: The Endgame
So, here’s my take on the event. I settle in sofa commentary goggle-mode: replenish wine glass. Watch the ending of Mastermind.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

The Glorious Victory of the B team adds a Footnote to Chess History
It is well known in our league that East Cheadle Chess club B team also known as the east Chile buffaloes are prone to surprise their opponents, often scoring well in unexpected ways.
And so it was recently as reported by our inspiring captain Jim.
I have taken his graceful elegantly scripted account and added a few more earthy remarks of my own.
