Terrific stuff. "You may have sat with an aged grandparent, listening to them rambling on trying to pick the right moment to interject. Perhaps there was something you needed to persuade them to agree to: a visit to the doctor, a signature on a power of attorney, or Article 5 of the Nato Treaty. "

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

Dick Cheney: "In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power... I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

Tim Leunig in the FT is right about Brexit. But it’s far worse. Brexit ripped us out of our $19 trillion GDP domestic market & reduced us to one a 6th of it, thumped our economy, fractured the UK, threw our governance into chaos, & generated perilous geopolitical effects. A🧵/1.

Solar panels do not stop farming on the land. They help retain water and provide shelter for livestock.

one thing i am fascinated by is how difficult it is for so many people engaged in online political discussion to understand that there are people who sincerely disagree with your views who aren’t being secretly controlled by some malign force

'The foundation worked with UK and Scottish government officials to arrange safe passage and student visas for the women. They have been given places at four medical schools after Scottish ministers changed the law to treat them as home students eligible for free tuition.'

A former police officer who subjected three women to a campaign of controlling, violent, and sexual abuse has been jailed for almost four years. How TF has this man got less jail time than the Just Stop Oil protesters? The justice system needs a complete overhaul 😡 news.sky.com/story/ex-pol...

Literally the only downside of doing this is negative headlines in the Tory press. It would boost the economy, give young Brits brilliant opportunities, reset the relationship with the EU and boost UK soft power. Allowing fear of the Mail to scupper this would be unforgivable.

When politicians and media foghorns demand that we don’t talk about Brexit, I always remember these wise words from Martin Samuel (Times journalist) and pledge to honour them.
