Among the lost positives consigned to the dusty corners of the dictionary is ‘reck’, meaning ‘care’, ‘heed’, and ‘consideration’. Which means we can be reckful instead of reckless (and feckful, gormful, ruthful, ept, kempt, couth, consolate, and many more).

In days like these it is worth remembering that: a) Russia invaded Ukraine, b) Russia had previously given security guarantees to Ukraine that it would not threaten or use military force or economic coercion. It's time for European leaders to stand with Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini

What's a good way of reducing plane crashes? Obviously do not fire air safety experts and instil paranoia in those who remain.

"Europe is often presented as this massive bureaucracy that created all these rules. Actually, it does the reverse. It has harmonised the rules of 27 countries. And that makes trade easier, provides for economic growth, gives people lower prices and higher living standards." ~AA
Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar thinks there is an opportunity for much smoother trade in goods between the UK and the EU. The key is close regulatory alignment.
