He’s a Sikh, not a Muslim, you F moron. It’s “deeply disturbing” that someone as bigoted as you is a member of Congress.

Tesla stock price is still insanely high given... sales are plummeting, it's the target of a global protest movement, its cars are shit, its drug-fuelled Nazi founder is at war with the US president. Lord give me the optimism of its investors.

This always was and always is the destination of relationships that are purely transactional: that are zero sum games. Real social capital - trust - binds relationships, even through conflict. Mutual back scratching is only skin deep: it moves quickly from back scratching to eye gouging.

It's weird how so many British Asians who work for Nigel Farage end up hating him. Wonder what it could be about him. It's such a fucking mystery.

My novel Rabbits is out today in paperback. On the EXTREMELY RARE and ENTIRELY BAFFLING chance you haven't bought it already, I reckon you definitely should now. Right? Here are some of the lovely things other readers have said about it over the last year...

Cunning of Trump. By pushing for an intolerably high 5% of GDP commitment from Nato allies, he: 1) Sets the scene for the USA to flounce out of the alliance when the commitment isn't met 2) Destabilises competitor economies by imposing a massive drain on them 3) Creates political chaos everywhere

Rowan Williams reviews Peter Watson. 'Sanghera’s discussion of the imperial legacy is characterised as “extreme” and then praised later (rightly, I think) as “a good example of the way forward” in maintaining... awareness of the... moral tangles of imperial history.' www.ft.com/content/322e...

Incredibly, it still remains the main outlet for British politicians. They seem to have no idea that they're sowing the seeds of their own demise.

Absolutely hilarious to discover that I - born and spent 43 years in the UK, Cambridge, civil service, spent the weekend watching cricket - am not considered white British by these maniacs.

Made the mistake of going into bat on Twitter against the Jenrick and Cummings crowd - forgetting that you’d all left me there. Needless to say I’m now being called a ‘bird’ by someone called ‘Don Gargantuan’ & being told lawyers should be tried for treason by some blokes who seem to like flags.

If you’re going to quote Cecil Rhodes’s Confession of Faith & 1877 will, I think you should probably acknowledge that they comprise not a selfless vision for humanity but an explicitly racist call for Anglo-Saxon global domination via a secret society. Read here: pages.uoregon.edu/kimball/Rhod...

If there's anyone out there who doesn't think that we're drifting towards full Trumpism in British government at the next election, my morale is low enough to hear their reasoning. All ears.

"It's impossible to imagine Xi agreeing to sit down for one of Trump’s reality TV Oval Office specials. That crapshoot has done real harm to Zelenskyy and South Africa’s Ramaphosa. Xi will never agree to run that gauntlet." Me on why Trump could go any way on China. www.ft.com/content/d64c...
