Leaving the EU was like resigning from a really good job while having no other job to go to.

If democracy relies on an informed public, what does that mean in an era where information is infinite but Media can’t be trusted & false information is rife causing trust to collapse?

It's illiberal I know but I really am starting to think that we need urgently to disenfranchise the “let’s just roll the dice” voters. They may be lovely in person but the harm they have done is incalculable. Let alone the harm that they are still to do.

‘Right about everything’: Liz Truss tweets photo of her and Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Unclear how meeting between Britain’s shortest serving PM and US president was initiated and how long it lasted After spending time and resources crisscrossing the Atlantic to cultivate the support of the Maga faithful, Liz Truss has finally got the prize she apparently craved: a photo with Donald Trump. Britain’s shortest serving prime minister tweeted a photo on Sunday showing her in the company of the US president at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Continue reading...

Until 1982 Andrew was second in line to the throne. He could very easily have been king - as so many spares were before him. And really he's only been (superficially) stripped of his titles and privileges because this stuff became public and because Virginia Giuffre dared to speak out.

And yet the prevailing political attitude is that stopping them coming was antisemitic. Can you imagine what would’ve happened if there had been violence? I just think you have to avoid conflict if you can and it had potential to be a nightmare on both sides.

‘Too good to be true’: parents warned to check before they buy amid flood of counterfeit toys
Border Force warns knock-off Labubu dolls and similar items can be dangerous, and sales fund criminal networks At this time of year, with the big day looming and the north pole elves straining to meet their manufacturing quotas, it may be tempting for Santa to try outsourcing toy production to international organised crime gangs. But Father Christmas would do well to heed fresh warnings that counterfeit versions of one of this year’s most popular toys can be dangerous to children. Continue reading...
