Reading, scrolling, drinking tea whilst listening to BBC R6M and snippets of David Bowie interviews; his eloquence, humour and modesty have quite set my old chin a'quiver.

As our American friends here are, quite rightly, currently outraged at the latest Trump outrage, a British irrelevancy: one's favourite counties.
I have been fortunate to travel extensively around our small island.
At different times of our lives, we have different tastes and priorities

Whitaker's prior experience with diplomacy consists of promoting a line of "urinals for well-endowed men" which the DOJ suspected was a fraud scheme. As ambassador he has specialized in not attending or participating in NATO meetings, like those convened after the last wave of Russian drone attacks.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

It used to be said, in less knowing days, that if we looked at the USA, we Brits could see 10 years into our future.
To predict Farage's talking points these days, we merely look back a little while at MAGA memes and policies, to his checklist of unempathic, wilful ignorance.

Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

A key question is ‘whether Trump’s appetite for military adventurism will continue to spread. He has advertised designs on Canada, Panama, Greenland and the Gaza Strip. On Saturday, he implied Mexico was also in his sights’

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
