1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.

There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.

So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Please give me control of the Star Wars franchise.

My concept is to just remake old war and samurai movies, but Star Wars.

The Dirty Dozen but Star Wars.

The Great Escape but Star Wars.

Good chaps vs bear traps:
There is a serious, principled case for a codified constitution, for some of the reasons George sets out.

But botching together a constitution to stop Farage - a constitution that could not command widespread support and that was widely seen as rigged - would deepen our problems, not resolve them.🧵
We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution.
This week's column explains what we're missing and why it's so important.

The fact that this is even seriously discussed, by frontbench politicians and in mainstream publications, shows that something fundamental has broken in UK politics. All those who look at Germany with horrified faces because of the rise of the AfD, kindly take a look in the mirror.

the level of attention this got made me realise that I never actually talk about my eating habits, which I would describe as "normal"

anyway I've just made myself a single boiled egg to eat when I get home later, as a post-party, pre-bed snack, and I'm preemptively delighted
long distance relationships definitely have their low points but I would say, tonight, having just eaten half a raw red onion because I fancied it, that they also have their highs
