- The ‘Zelensky wants Boris to stay’ stuff - as peddled by Zahawi on Sky now - is utterly contemptible. Utterly loathsome.
- Dominic Cummings Must Go
- Apart from disgust, the dominant emotion when Donald Trump visits your country is sadness. To think the great American republic - and experiment - has been reduced to this. To think we have all been degraded like this.
- Replying to @jk_rowlingIt’s remarkable how quickly the argument has moved from ‘That would never happen’ to ‘Of course that will happen, what’s the big deal?’
- Every so often, and especially if life seems glum, I recommend cheering yourself up by remembering the lovely tale of France is Bacon.
- Well, fair's fair, you can see why NHS Fife did not want this tribunal heard in public.
- Every so often, but especially so in recent days, I remember that Jewish schools in the United Kingdom have extra security guards as a matter of course and this is considered so normal it scarcely requires comment. Except I think it does.
- On a pound for pound basis, the "Taylor Swift and her police escort" story is the most tedious piece of nonsense any of us have endured in years. FFS.
- Anyway, this is the moment for the UK to offer the Republic of Ireland five million doses of vaccine. Not for trolling purposes but because it would be the neighbourly thing to do.
- Any dispassionate analysis of the North Shropshire result must start from the fact it is, objectively, Very Funny.
- They are disgusting people. Utterly without merit or saving grace. And so very, very, very small. Damn Trump and Vance to hell.
