This is ridiculous. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen: a nation destroying itself to prevent the sale of cheap products. We can't keep getting stupider at this pace, as a species. Within another generation or two we won't be able to speak whole sentences.

Ukraine: Some disparate thoughts on a horrifying day...
This is basically a scream of hatred and anguish, which gradually develops into something marginally more positive.
I'm going to have a drink. It's not too early.

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.

One week in the life of Kemi Badenoch
