An extraordinary turn of events. The chill wind of Trump litigation against media organisations working exactly as it is intended. And another example of the internal neurosis over a largely irrelevant Panorama edit resulting in *more* partial coverage of Trump, not less.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Economists estimate that the UK has 1.8m fewer jobs now than it would have had without Brexit. You did that. Now fuck off, we know what your brand of reform looks like already.

There is a glaringly obvious message for Europe in the 28 point plan: This is the end of the end. We have been told repeatedly and unambiguously that Ukraine’s security, and therefore Europe’s security, will be Europe’s responsibility. And now it is. Entirely. If you are a…

America is in a new era, where rules are skirted and corruption is tolerated. It did not start with Donald Trump. But he has upped the tempo and removed constraints that once held others back econ.st/4ikKZWj

You can’t count Liz Truss, because she lasted for less time than an episode of Strictly, but Boris Johnson is unquestionably the worst Prime Minister Britain has ever endured. A useless, bloviating clown, whose only legacies are ruined lives, global humiliation and lower GDP.
