Congratulations, Dr Turner, from a white, British, elderly, cis male with an earned D.Phil. from Oxford University, and a volunteer in wildlife conservation. May you enjoy a distinguished career as an ecologist, or in any other field you choose.

Anyone can argue with a 'best of' (or 'worst of') list, and so many folk have a serious claim to Trump Nazgûlhood . . . so please do argue with mine. E.g. Bessent might be worthy only of the rank of Grey-Faced Wormtongue; dreadful but not with a menacing, ruthless aura. (Like Mike Johnson.)

If Elon can use *The Lord of the Rings* for his own political purposes, so can I: Time to announce my favourites for Trump's Nazgûl, i.e. the Nine from Mortal Men Doomed to Die . . . In no particular order: Miller; Vance; Bondi; Patel; Noem; Hegseth; Bessent; Vought; and RFK Jr.
