Well of course he will try that. The question is whether he has a chance of succeeding, and the someone who knows the PM well might not be the best judge of that.

I recently acquired the hardback edition of Ada Palmer’s “Inventing the Renaissance.” The author embarks on a mission to debunk several misconceptions in this expansive 650-page book, which delves into a subject that holds immense personal significance for me. #History #Books #Reading

#Authors #AncientBluesky #RomanHistory I own several copies of Tacitus' Annals because one is never enough. However, none of the paperback versions I own have all the chapter numbers in them, which annoys me so much that I decided to edit and publish my own.... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DTB29GJV/

What happened to the Republicans? They once stood for law and order. But today, the party has taken their position: standing with violent insurrectionists over the people who keep us safe from them.

Two hundred UK companies are moving to a permanent four-day work week. The decision comes after a trial where businesses tested the model. Workers were happier and more productive, and the quality and quantity of work was unaffected or even improved. future4days.com/two-hundred-uk

In forest's heart, where shadows weave, Ancient tales in scars, they leave. Wisdom etched on bark so old, Traditions whispered, stories told. Each mark a rite, each groove a guide, Beneath the stars, where spirits reside Weyekin Heart #poetry #weyekin #tradition #poem #nativeart #writingcommunity
