Donald Trump. An Apology.

The new Private Eye is out now
A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

A recent blog of mine on UNFCCC COP29 www.idea.int/blog/cop29-d...
COP29 delivers little and shows the inherent contradictions of its presidency
Joining the over 70,000 participants in COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, felt at first like navigating a busy international airport before a festive break. Crowds marching on the squeaky floors of the huge ...
