Super read on Paul Marshall in LRB. Obviously highly able, v successful financially, but has dabbled in politics+media. Why own the Speccie and GB News if you won't do a simple i/v for a longform, intellectual piece.The rich get prissy about i/vs, their reputations suffer, and hence vicious circle..

What to look for in the German elections: how much leeway will Merz have in coalition-building, and what the gap between the CDU and the AfD will mean for the mood music in Europe. My thoughts here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Good point @stephenkb.bsky.social It's pure trolling designed for the primary audience that Vance needs in two years. German election in a week now absolutely crucial. Noone knows how this influences marginal AfD voters. Merz being v resolute.

#AfD leader Alice Weidel declined to condemn her party president Gauland for calling the Holocaust a 'tiny detail of history' ("bird droppings"). This is the party that Vance and Musk have explicitly supported.

@dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social I'm an ex Tory cllr, now LibDem, but I'm with what Dawn Butler said on Newsnight just now. Sure, it's up to the jury, but "stupid and black" has historic tropes that are different from "stupid and white"

The marginal Trump voter voted on inflation, the border and for a bit less wokeness. The federal govt maoist cultural revolution stuff will only matter to such voters if the chaos becomes linked to bad outcomes in the economy and their lives. Which it well might!

MarcRowan, Apollo is genuinely interesting on tax reform, but when NYT next interviews him, it shld seek a oneword answer whether he favors removing security protection for former presidents. Trumpy biz leaders mustn't get away with vagueness on the worst stuff www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/b...

Important long read on AI replacing humans. Not really a positive piece for Klarna or its CEO Siemiatkowski. Klarna certainly seems to hyping its AI transition a tad

Secretary Noem admitting just now that prices might go up because of tariffs, and if so that would be the fault of companies putting up prices, not the govt. And doesnt rule out children being held at Guantanamo Bay.

Medicare has four parts: A,B,C and D. A is hospitals, B is coverage and costs, C plans are different alternatives to "original medicare" (ie A+B) and D is prescription drugs. Sen Hassan asked RFK Jnr what the four parts of Medicare are. He didn't know.

It's totally unacceptable. If it goes on, Europe (andCanada) needs to up the ante. Pressure on things he cares about (equity market, state visits) or things GOP in Congress care about (reelection, and some senators care about foreign policy, as the three Hegseth votes showed. Nothing easy though

Freeland has much better French than Carney, and a better Quebecois accent. Carney credible in reading it from teleprompter but that's not debating in it. Mother tongue of 22% of Canadians.

Super @simonkuper.bsky.social . There's always change, but 1995 was just before a whole lot of FT change -Lambert quite a different generation from Gowers/Barber. FT US edition, FT Deutschland, and the web, all about to come. We used to find Gapper/Lapper bylines amusing www.ft.com/content/a628...

It's amazing to think that a tweet or post saying "Trump is crazy for suggesting the UK should become the 51st state" would go far before anyone realized it was unsourced.

Can Musk keep up this exhausting, boring intensity for four years? Perhaps most importantly, as a quasi-member of the Administration, will he refrain from publicly criticising cabinet members? If that doesnt get him fired, Trump looks so weak.

Great letter on Kevins. But if you’re not a former prime minister, write a 200 word letter to the Economist, not 800

Lot of TV comment about Thomas Massie, who appears completely immoveable. Worth recalling Massie lost his wife of 30 years last June.
