Nothing changes the course of history. Whatever happened was inevitable; whatever didn't happen was impossible.

Thank you. A lot of interest from this side of the pond, as you can imagine. Are MAGA really happy about their POTUS going cap-in-hand to beg a favour from Russia? Make America Grovel Again.

But does it mean that the action by the president is ineffective and unenforceable? Would anyone giving effect to the action be acting illegally?

There must be a reason why there are only 4 countries that levy a wealth tax; there used to be around a dozen.

USA has gone cap in hand to Russia to get them out of a hole dug by Trump. What had the USA come too?

It’s the USA that needs a new leader

When Putin fails to deliver he will blame Ukraine and Trump will blame Zelenskyy for not surrendering to Putin’s demands.

When Putin can’t release the diesel he will blame Ukraine and lean on Trump to do something about it. It is about persuading US voters not to support Ukraine.

“Awarding Pillay the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t a recognition of justice. It’s the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice. Now that the Nobel commission has rewarded the biggest lie of the 21st century, Joseph Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell.

From the Israeli Foreign Ministry “If there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn’t just be a contender. She’d be a frontrunner. Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genoLIE speaks volumes.

The chairman of the committee was clear this was a lot to do with the intimidation of and sanctions on the ICC.

In his presentation the chairman of the committee was clear this was a lot to do with the undermining of the international order and international law, including the sanctions against the ICC

Reminds me of Bob Hope in a number from Road to Rio, where he exits with a sign saying caboose over his rear end.

Curiosity got the better of me this morning. I didn’t know, you probably did, that by declaration in 1952 all descendants of QE2 would be of the house of Windsor (and not Mountbatten). PP was understandably miffed so the hyphenated surname was adopted.

Interesting hearing Michel Garnier this morning. It seems that his view is that Euro and Schengen would not be rejoining requirements, but free movement would be.

Yes, the Windsor line married into the Mountbatten/Battenberg line (or Glücksburg). Philip used Mountbatten. KC3s surname is Mountbatten-Windsor but the Royal house is the House of Windsor

David Norris @borisnorris.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Or Glücksburg

David Norris @borisnorris.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Surely the current house is Mountbatten - or Battenburg if you like

Crowborough is my closest town. We have many Ukrainians in the area, plus Turks, Lebanese and others. They make a considerable contribution and have been welcomed. So this seems so out of character. Stirred up by Reform and Restore sympathisers.

Had he chosen peace, Russia would be safer and richer and its people living a far better quality of life. Putin has betrayed the Russian people.

But there’s an assumption their businesses are in the uk. For the very wealthy that is rarely the case. If they are paying £100ms in uk tax we do miss out.

We do tax the wealthy more than similar countries. We complain when the wealthy leave.
