Vance was right on just one thing: Europe lacks a clear positive vision of what it wants to defend.

The answer must be "the things Vance rejects": truth, science, liberal democracy, rule of law, resisting dictators, climate action.

It will have to do that without, & sometimes against, the US Govt.

Some really beautiful passages in “Martyr!”, even if I’m not fully sold on characters/narrative so far. Just over half way through.

Occasionally like to dip into non fiction whilst still reading a fiction. Open paragraph of Martyr is fantastic #booksky #martyr!

We're seeing a toxic surge of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on GB News. This is what advertisers such as Sky are enabling.

If Ofcom continues failing to enforce its own rules, then MPs need to step in and hold it to account.

Nothing quite like the feeling of picking up a new book and very quickly going “ah, yes, this is a bit of lovely” #booksky
