I am doing it right now for my mother. Everyone I turn to tells me that they can’t do anything unless she agrees to it, despite my power of attorney. Meanwhile, she’s deteriorating rapidly and not capable of judging what is in her best interest.

I was wondering why I was seeing ads for Patti Lupone live in London a month after they went on sale. Turns out that they sold around 20% of the seats at the Coliseum for up to £184 a ticket. She’s on for two nights with a 25-year-old show that contains no hits. Ouch.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Burnham: "I cannot say to you truthfully that where we are is good enough. Brexit has done more harm than good. We need to restore a higher level of growth and prosperity for Britain." Britain needs EU membership - only then will we have the growth that our country needs.

This speech is rightly the albatross around his neck. That he allowed himself to be SUCH an empty suit as to be used by extremists on the right of Labour like that says so much about him. So much of what makes labour ineffective against domestic extremism came out of that mentality.

In Paris, a new wall may hold some exciting remains of a town mentioned by Julius Caesar in his BG: Gallic Lutetia. And remains of the burnt portions “may correspond to Caesar’s account that the Gauls set fire to their settlement before fleeing the advancing Romans.” (Bellum Gallicum 7.58) (Gift 🔗)

Alone and fleeing scandal, a 23-year-old gave birth in a Catholic mother and baby home in 1917. The surname she chose for her baby, ‘Prevost’, endured down the decades, becoming the name of her grandson, Pope Leo XIV. My piece on the pope’s family secret: www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

Leo XIV spent his first day in France moving through crowds that the country’s own statistics say should not exist. Local authorities estimated that 300,000 people lined his route. open.substack.com/pub/lettersf...

In Secular France, Young Catholics Treat Pope Leo XIV Like a Rock Star

An estimated 300,000 lined his route to Notre-Dame, where he told the clergy to put communion with Peter before personal preference. France baptized a record 21,000 people this Easter. Here is why.

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.
