I think it will take more than 3 years to deal with what's going on in the USA though.

After a trip across Ukraine on trains that keep running in spite of Russian air raids, nothing says welcome home quite like those three magical words:

What else would there be to do there but drink and reminisce, while watching everyone else leave...

Absolutely. But it's not helped by an Israeli government inclined to do just that - by saying that all criticism of it is anti-semitic/attack on Judaism.

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Tragically secondary schools, driven by parent demand or successive govs shouting that tech is the only future, are cancelling languages. Many already have no A levels on offer. How long before GCSEs follow?

And that is just one way we fail to equip people to do what immigrant workers are doing...

For Netanyahu, avoiding a peace deal may now be worse than agreeing one Trump is asking the Israeli PM to risk his government but dangling the prospect of a historic legacy, writes Lucy Williamson.

The final question in this article is plain stupid. Biden had zero leverage over Israel during his final weeks in office, Netanyahu was always going to wait for the next president and see what he could get away with. It remains to be seen even if Trump has leverage...
