Some speculation on here whether new PM means (at last) proper attempt to sort out centre of government. Since I was cog in it, I thought I'd wave the flag for the Commission for Smart Government! www.civilservant.org.uk/library/2021...

Deploying to Iceland (Fire &Ice) “Just in case” “Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.”

Very clear video (TW very distressing) by BBC Verify which makes clear how wrong BBC's "both-siding" of the Minneapolis shooting in its main coverage is. When Trump, Noem and others say things which are clearly not true, BBC needs to say so www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
