Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

I don't see Trump demanding elections in Russia. ...ironically one year, almost to the day, after Alexei Navalny's murder.

An important intervention by Lady Chief Justice Carr, on a case 'that has been widely misreported and misunderstood.' The family of six from Gaza had sought permission to live with a British relative who proved he was able to house and financially support them. . www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fewer than half of British people can name the 2022 British PM with a 5-letter surname starting with T. Politics can be more brutal than showbusiness sometimes.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

Just take a moment to imagine the reaction to Barack Obama pardoning 1,500 black people, involved in a riot, which led to five police officers dying, calling them "heroes" & "hostages".

I’m shocked that Sadiq Khan has been rewarded for failure with a knighthood following London mayoral election victories against Zac (now Lord) Goldsmith and Shaun (now Lord) Bailey.

In the US, turning 16 often means taking on a massive financial burden: a car. Teens, or their parents, spend thousands just to gain basic independent mobility. It’s not just a coming-of-age milestone; it’s a forced purchase shaped by how we’ve built our cities.

Ballpark flat tax numbers: a fiscally neutral income tax flat tax would be about 25% - i.e. 5% increase in basic rate, 15% cut in higher rate. So the average earner would pay about £1,200 more tax/year. Someone on £100k would pay £5k less. Someone on £200k, £30k less.
