3 of these 4 priorities will turbocharge climate change. Looks like growth at any cost. It’ll be interesting to see how her plan to impose a limit of one judicial review on any government decision will work out.

Enjoying this, a lot. Some wonderful, evocative descriptions, so far, of places I know. Writing of Bloomsbury, there’s a reference to Yeats and “the living and the dead” that prompted a “no, that’s Joyce”, followed by the thought that that little barb was purposely left for pedants like me.

Quite challenging, if this Wikipedia page is correct. Looks like a constitutional prohibition, not an opt-out, if EU establishes common defence. Not having a proper national defence force or arms industry looking very short sighted at the moment.

From today’s Guardian. Prompted me to look up some biblical takes on keeping company, given Trump appeared to have got religion on the campaign trail.
1 Corinthians: Do not be deceived: bad company ruins good morals.
