If I paid more attention I might have spotted that extra t in attention.

Trump's ridiculously short atttention span and tendency to panic may be the world's best hope for a rapid end to the current war in Iran.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Mission accomplished!

If you're Blairing, you're losing the argument (especially over US Middle East adventures)

Explains a lot about the failure of Brexit that its main adherents should right now be prostrating themselves before the US because they think that's what an independent UK means.

Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK

47th and worst ever US President.

I get the strong sense that the bulk of media are calling Starmer's position on Iran entirely wrongly right now. I simply don't believe that most people out there are either as hawkish as the Tories or as anti-everything as the Greens. Being conflicted in the middle seems about right to me.

Ni le soleil ni la mort ni les Etats Unis ne se peuvent regarder fixement.

But it is another example of how Reform boost turnout for progressive parties. They are so profoundly toxic. When you put it alongside the Tories losing their deposit, the right have a serious problem.

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin.

Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

Well.

My friend Stefan Stern is on my friend Dave Cohen's podcast talking about Shakespeare and Macbeth (neither of whom I know personally). It is very much worth your time (and buy their books too!) podcasts.apple.com/gr/podcast/t...
