There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it won’t, it still wouldn’t work.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Latest from me in The Guardian: about how Farage, Jenrick etc won't be beaten until their delusional version of the UK's past is exposed. And why this should happen in the culture (a la Rock Against Racism) rather than through, say, Keir Starmer speeches www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
In 2026, remember this: Britain is much better than it was in so many ways. Don’t swallow the right’s lies | John Harris
Populists rewrite the history of this nation because they were complicit in much of its ugliness. The progressive fightback must start now, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Friedrich Merz überlegt noch, ob ein Schweigen zum Angriff auf Venezuela, ihm vielleicht einen Vorteil bringt, wenn er künftig bilateral mit den USA verhandelt, statt sich mit den europäischen Partnern zu verbünden.

There are some horrible analogies flying around today. A reminder: the US kidnapping of Maduro in no way justifies, vindicates, or lifts responsibility from the Ru govt or the Ru people. Their war against Ukraine continues to be an unprovoked act of aggression with war crimes and genocidal intent.

Why was this political activist allowed to take over at Glastonbury?
Questions of political bias clouded everything in 2025, and pop music was no exception. Glastonbury was rocked by an enormous controversy, reported in full by the Eye.

This portrait of the artist Eileen Mayo (1936) by Edith Lawrence was a rare depiction for its day, of a female artist by another female artist. Both were alumnae of the Grosvenor School as well as the Slade having studied there alongside David Bomberg and Stanley Spencer.

The takeaway is not that journalists make absurd predictions. This was a blunt, but reasonable headline in 1996. It's that outcomes that seem highly unlikely/wildly optimistic do happen occasionally due to agency. Bulgarians and Europeans took forks in the road over the yrs that made today reality.
An article from December 1996 warns that Bulgaria has no chance of joining Europe and the euro would replace the lev only after the second coming of Christ. Brace yourselves, the euro replaces the lev tonight at midnight! 🤣(and, of course, Bulgaria did join the EU in 2007).
