An exquisitely shot and composed six minutes. These mountains are stunning, the rocky landscape beyond daunting for traversing. A very small boy narrates his entire trip to a market to buy his family's food. Hearing and seeing it from the little one's P.O.V. is captivating. Brava, @ionacraig.com!

I do have real contempt for fellow Jews like Phillips and Wallis Simons who are quite happy to endorse the worst people in society until it's explicitly targeted at us. Both because it's hypocritical but also because it's so fucking stupid. You don't need to read many history books...

Given Starmer's absolute naivety about AI, this catastrophic security breach is not at all surprising. The Tories were possibly willing to bring Palantir in, in the hopes of controlling them, but I'm pretty sure Starmer simply doesn't have the comprehension of what has been unleashed.

In agreeing plans for a new Chinese mega-embassy, our govt has prioritised economic expediency over national security, its primary duty. Whilst some sinologists doubt this was the right hill to fight on, the decision displays weakness and will lead to increased Chinese espionage in UK and Europe.

The “problem” is that a peerage is BOTH an honour AND confers a role/function (membership of the HL). There are mechanisms for removing the latter but not the former. And in that respect a peerage differs from other honours (eg knighthood) which can be removed by the prerogative without legislation

"Of course, how was Mandelson to know that Epstein, who seemed so plausible, was a wrong ‘un? Well, one clue was that, at the very moment Mandelson was forwarding this stuff, Epstein WAS IN PRISON. He had pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution."
