Alex Cann's Weekly Blog from Wednesday, April 15th, 2026

If you drive a petrol or diesel car, you'll have watched the prices creeping up with horror over recent weeks. Admittedly, the spectacle of Donald Trump's recent AI image, which he later claimed portrayed him as a doctor, was even more horrific. The orange President said "only the fake news could come up with that one" when it was suggested he sought to portray himself as a Christ-like figure. Honestly, it's satirists I feel sorry for. Late night sweary social media posts threatening to send countries back to the Stone Ages make me wince more than a James Corden DVD box set.
