Danny Tommo clutches Bible in court as he learns he faces Christmas in custody Can we look forward to the spectre of a Russell Brand damascene conversion? How come it takes serious allegations of very unchristian behaviour to bring the “believer” out?

Burnham made Farage seem “angry, thin-skinned… absurd. What we witnessed today was a masterclass in political communication which makes Farage look like an amateur” Finally. The confidence that comes with emotional intelligence. It could make all the difference. iandunt.substack.com/p/burnham-sp...

Great to hear the PM say “We are going to be much prouder in standing up for our values and the rule of law” re foreign information warfare. I wonder if he or the Home Secretary might consider doing the same when it comes to masked vigilantes shutting down infrastructure and harassing the RNLI
