It's a mark of what's gone wrong with British politics that it's regarded as some kind of career-ending humiliation when a govt has to make concessions to Members of Parliament. We'd be much better governed if MPs found their backbones more often, & govts routinely had to respond to their concerns.

Whatever one’s view on Iran, Trump just got us into a war without any involvement by Congress. This is consistent with his general lawlessness — secret police, deportations without due process, illegally impounding appropriated funds, etc. He absolutely should be removed from office.

Orkney is a jewel! I visited pre-Covid and was struck by how much history there is in such a small package. 5,000 years ago it was a northern Delphi and it geographic position meant the islands were still crucial in WW2. In between, St Magnus cathedral and much more.
