I'm leading a debate tomorrow on introducing a visa route to the UK for skilled Americans who no longer feel comfortable living in Trump's America. I have been contacted by hundreds of Americans who want to bring their skills to this country - I want to help.

The Epstein files should have major consequences about how and who academia decides to promote and celebrate as Great Thinkers. But like everyone else, we'll forget that bit of the historical pattern and go on as before.
