I’ve loved London and lived here for most of my life, but I didn’t know how much I loved Great Britain until the Brexit campaign when I realized how profoundly we would be damaged if it happened.

It’s one of those rare cases when two wrongs do indeed make a right.

When I hear people say that no-one would actually want to live in any of the many utopias that people have imagined, I know that they haven’t read any of Banks’ Culture novels.

There is a natural reluctance to see Farage as the evil that he is, it sounds so hyperbolic and adolescently over-serious, but one only has to look at what’s happening in the US, and consider his uncritical adulation of Trump, to see that evil is precisely what he wants for this country.

Soon two of the most exciting and deeply liberal cities in the world, New York and London, are going to have Muslim mayors. Take that Islamophobes!

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987
YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Well, it’s kept the Le Pens, pΓ¨re et fille, out of the Γ‰lysΓ©e Palace on three occasions - for which we should all be grateful.

As a Londoner I’m very much looking forward to you working with Sir Sidiq Khan - two progressive Muslims leading two of the most exciting and dynamic cities in the world.

How does the Economist think the Democrats could show more urgency? They are there in the Capitol asking for negotiations while the Republicans are on holiday and forbidden to even talk to their counterparts.

Because most of the British press is controlled by oligarchs for whom Brexit is an opportunity to abolish tiresome red tape, like health and safety, in Britain; and it’s a way of weakening the EU with all its pesky workers’ rights.

Isn’t what we’re all hoping for is that a majority can be put together, perhaps with Ed Davey as PM and Zack Polanski as his deputy, which will introduce PR and then call another election? And then, at last, we can vote for who we want instead of strategically.

Perhaps, when William’s king and has properly stripped his uncle of all his titles, we’ll be able to know Andrew as The Commoner Formerly Known as Prince.

He’s still the Duke of York he’s just not using it in public, you can be damn sure that he will in private. The King should have stripped him of the title, we’ll have to wait for William that.

I used to sometimes drink in the Three Greyhounds in the late 80s (possibly into the early 90s) but then the amazing landlady Roxy (who had been there forever) was sacked. She walked out on the spot without stopping to gather her things, my friends and I never drank there again.

What diplomatic triumphs? Neither Hamas nor the Israeli government has signed the β€˜peace deal’ (in fact, just a ceasefire) which is already braking down. There are a lot of wars he claims to have ended which he didn’t, and he’s also managed to alienate all previous allies.
