50 years ago today, Carlos the Jackal stormed OPEC headquarters in Vienna. The attack and hostage taking was shocking. But more shocking was the response. No country really wanted to pursue Carlos and it would take another 22 years before he was sentenced to prison.

The problem with much of the centrist commentariat swinging behind the "Britain is broken" idea is not only that the right are weaponizing it to sell their xenophobic/racist narratives, it's also that despair itself has social consequence. Britain is great! It is also in need of public investment.

“I’m not going to take a decision that is going to raise prices in some parts of the country. That is not what I’m going to do.” Sounds like the opposite of zonal pricing!

PM Trudeau steps down, following months of criticism. He says he “can’t be best option” for the next election. Inflation has been a big topic among my Canadian family over the holidays.

Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy

Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences
