Who would be so mocked with glory, or to live
But in a dream of friendship,
To have his pomp and all what state compounds
But only painted, like his varnished friends?

The Christmas tree has arrived on Trafalgar Square! It's a gift to the people of London from the people of Oslo. A tree has been given annually since 1947. Thank you our Norwegian friends 🇳🇴 🎄

So that’s Christmas cake made and sealed in tin waiting to be fed then iced nearer the date, and Christmas pudding half way through its 7 hours of steaming - kitchen smells amazing.
Cards (from own photos - a first) arriving tomorrow
Just need to think about buying some presents!

Skipping FBI background investigations for presidential appointees would violate important norms designed to protect the public and our national security. My thoughts in Bloomberg:
Trump Skipping FBI Checks Threatens National Security
Private firms don’t have the means to conduct background screenings as thorough as federal law enforcement officials.

What a couple of days I’ve had…..

Hillary Rodham Clinton has spent five decades in public service as an advocate, attorney, First Lady, U.S. Senator, U.S. Secretary of State + presidential candidate.

Amazing to interview and spend time with Hillary at Queen’s University Belfast this week.

The reality facing a young working-class person looking to buy a three-bedroom house in the same area I grew up in is:

£100,000 deposit.
£900,000 mortgage.

The housing crisis is holding hard-working young people back from the life they deserve.

I quite enjoy the frank admission that without “libs” to “own”, they have literally no purpose and no ideas.
