Tree of the Day

Just done @restispoliticsus.bsky.social live on Davos with Rory and the Mooch. Members can listen again. And if you missed it but want to hear become a member! Pic 1 the SDGS event I mention. 2. Tree of the Day. 3. Two fab ex PMs. 4. Enjoyed using the Mooch expensive 24/7 nobody else allowed table!

I’m sure the Sunday papers will be doing massive write throughs on the amazing story of how a Royal and a minister forced Murdoch empire to admit widespread Sun criminal activity. I mean look how the dailies covered it next day!! All in this together! So they bury it. Mail still in firing line 2026

How many generations does it take to blow out a candle?

New @therestpolitics.bsky.social LEADING with ex Mossad head of intelligence Uzi Arad. He was also Netanyahu foreign policy advisor in early days of Bibi. Fascinating on so many levels alastaircampbell.org/2025/01/118-...

He looks like a spymaster too!

Well that was a very special day - the best mother in law in the world, Audrey Millar, reaches 100! And though not a Royalist, I must admit the King’s card landing on the mat was special. What a life she has led. Still totally with it and ruling the roost.

Well we are getting 73mph gusts at the moment and it’s supposed to get stronger in a few hours. It will be a triple peg day on the washing today.

Sean Dyche diary … Friday night get someone who has played with Maradona and Pele to give a tactical masterclass at splendid Swan restaurant. Saturday pm apply masterclass to hold Arsenal to a nil nil draw. Meanwhile I got terrific Tree of the Day last night

Nice day out in Norwich. Pic 1 with two of my favourite people, Delia and Ashley Barnes. Pic 2 good to hear Burnley fans singing his name when he came on against his old club. Pic 3 reason the fans happy. Pic 4 Tree of the Day on nearby canalside

Here or wherever you get your podcasts - Bill Clinton our latest guest on @restispolitics LEADING - scathing re Trump’s enablers, fascinating on Putin’s development, heartbroken that Middle East Peace is so remote alastaircampbell.org/2024/12/112-...

Bumped into an old friend at the US embassy Christmas party

💙📚

Definitely a peaky blinders cap kind of day …

Appropriate

As followers on Xitter and Insta may know I have for some years posted a Tree of the Day. These are usually photos taken by myself. But occasionally someone else sends me one. This is from Matt Kelly founder of The New European. He went to the Amazon in Brazil all to win TotD!!!

New Rest Is Politics (UK No 1 podcast don’t you know?) Q&A covering US election, Iran v Israel, MI5 and double agent Stakeknife, how France builds on Olympics success, Labour donor and civil service job. All this and more alastaircampbell.org/2024/08/301-...

Very good piece below

So I am currently still using Twitter on the grounds that where the far right operate you have to take them on on their own turf. But at @leightonandrews.bsky.social suggestion am also part migrating here. I may need help! I’m not as tech savvy as my Twitter following might suggest!!
