In a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from the JCPOA would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation 🧐

The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold. The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.

Any chance that today we can hear more from those whose life and business has got harder since 2016/9 rather than the plan-less cheerleaders of Exit? Time to get serious

Everyone is welcome to this lecture by two leading experts on the global phenomenon of conservative nationalist populism - which has shaken the post-Cold War order at its foundations (many argue it has already destroyed the western alliance that has upheld European security for more than 80 years).

Happy St George's day to all who celebrate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐉🤺 Edinburgh's New Town was meant to have a balanced pair of churches at its ends. In the spirit of the Union, St Andrew's on St Andrew Sq. and St George's on St George Sq. The former ended up on George St. instead and the latter on a renamed Charlotte Sq.
