Excellent analysis, as per.
Trump's peace efforts aren't going anywhere any time soon. This last week was theatre alone, on every side. For the Europeans and the Russians the real prize of that theatre isn't peace- it's Trump's attention, the realities only in his head.

Very concerning.
Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.

@williamcrawley.bsky.social I was a student nurse in the 70's & remember surgeons throwing instruments round operating theatres. Huge egos, bullys, deferential treatment, poor management. Stunned (but not) to hear this still goes on. They need to grow up.

Great article by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want.
In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive
potential, but we need to start now. 🧵
