This could start with a ticketed three-tier viewing and selfie platform on the north side of Parliament Square, each named after a higher level of the aristocracy.

Ideally the red phone box with Big Ben in the background could go up there too.

Humbled beyond measure to announce that as a result of settling a particularly complicated dispute at the dinner table this evening (and a minor conflict in the Balkans), I have just been awarded the inaugural Asda Peace Prize.

Vanity Fair, Olivia Nuzzi Agree to Part Ways Nuzzi and the magazine will let her contract expire at year-end, following new allegations and revelations about her conduct while she reported on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

For the record. Duh.

Precisely. Been writing about this in a UK context.

Unpopular opinion: the obsession with whether Nigel Farage is taking Russian money is obscuring us from the far more troubling reality of where he's actually taking money from.

Yes, Russians have used Tether to launder money. So does everyone.

Thanks

Pardon?

That's great! Really pleased to hear it. Thanks for taking the trouble to let me know.

@philtinline.bsky.social hi. Just finished Ghost of Iron Mountain- such a fascinating book

If we're doing this in terms of 1970s sitcoms, here's one way of looking at Reform rn

it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools

Made the mistake of reading this while drinking tea and very nearly ruined my keyboard.

Really interesting shift from Starmer basically saying Reform are beyond the pale of normal politics. An active threat, unlike Conservative Party

big news!

Evidenced accusations I find inconvenient are fake, cries politician.

Of whom does that remind me?

"Chat's responses were profound". Were they.

In other news, Tucker Carlson thinks he was attacked by a demon in his sleep.

Hence Michael Foot reprising the cause that made his name: the defence of Britain against Nazi invasion in 1940

"It's the perfect history book for the post-truth age."

You all know someone who wants one of those:

Killing Narco Speedboat Survivors Is a War Crime. Plus. . . David Mamet on Tom Stoppard. Tyler Cowen on where the poverty line really is. And much more.

...they lost the Free Press on the boat strikes?

This looks great.

Reminds me of the day John Peel died in 2004, when I was a baby producer, and we put together a special on the day. I had to make a package in about four hours having barely done it before. Melancholy to note that Peel was younger than Stoppard.

Cheers
