You have to wonder whether he ever read the magazine he edited. Once again, the Andrew Neil chapter in How They Broke Britain sets the scene rather well…

Trump on a world stage telling Ukranians that they should not have started this war is grotesque beyond belief.

Strong action needed by Europe. America under Trump must be a pariah state that is shamed in every international forum possible

Previously the idea of having a European army seemed fanciful. Now it looks critical and urgent

God love him, great player, but the name 'Schlupp' is not the most pleasant of sounds spoken by people on these Isles.

There is nothing new in the world. If you're curious as to how it ends for capricious and corrupt emperors, roman history has it all. Look at you Gaius Caligula

Feel hard done by a few referee mistakes today. The inevitable weakness at left back costs us again. Sigh.

Musk unleashing his incel coding warriors on a nation's finances has every bit the Dunning-Kruger energy of his submarine intervention into a cave rescue

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

If it is true that we missed out on replacing our main striker because we were not prepared to make bids of £9m or £11m ( having gained likely more than £50m from CL run), that sounds like significant mismanagement.

Some random fella coming back from a wee holiday in Faro today could get a bit of a surprise with several thousand supporters and press waiting at the airport

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

You don't always recognise the significance of historical events when you are living through them. Make no mistake, we are witness to the birth of a disunited states of authoritarianism. Once you permit the fatal undermining of the rule of law and democratic accountability, there is no going back.

I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
