This is now, by some distance, the most read thing I have ever put on the newsletter. Agnes' pose of outrage at being written about would really be clashing with her obvious delight about that number right about now.

Important moment in the Brexit saga, though note it is still only a political agreement. Note also that Tory cries of 'surrender' will be bogus - something like this was already in prospect under Sunak.

Every so often I remember that interest rates were below 1% for 12 years. I realise this is not "news". Nor is it news that, during that decade-plus, we failed to use the potential of dirt-cheap borrowing to invest in infrastructure projects that we belatedly realised we desperately needed. Hmph.

This is simply not good enough - sanctioning two politicians - we need to sanction the whole country now. Another 17 civilians murdered today, Greta kidnapped yesterday - ongoing starvation of the population - genocide and war crimes. What on earth are we waiting for. buff.ly/rTRh9Cy

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Agree with Zack Polanski. So 10,000 out of 3,000,000 millionaires left the country last year - a tiny 0.33% of the total - who cares. Taxing wealth not work is something we’ve been saying for a while. Thanks for the support.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany.

🚨Everything Trump has said about the Qatar plane is a LIE. Amazing story in the Post. - Qatar did NOT offer it, Trump requested it - Qatar expected a sale, not a “gift” - US Air Force says it’s in poor condition - $1.5 billion to make it useable - $500 million ADDITIONAL cost for Trump to keep it.
