Brexit: Our “diplomatic triumphs, be they in the "reset" with the EU or the trade deal with Trump, largely consist in the removal of obstacles that didn't even exist before”

Britain is great at muddling through. But imagine if its leaders knew where they were heading | Timothy Garton Ash
Starmer’s successful ‘reset’ with Europe highlights an underlying incoherence. The only rational long-term strategy is to rejoin the EU, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

First past the post is bad enough, ‘safe seats’ like Tatton are an insult to democracy but this practice of jumping ship after you’ve been voted in, is pure pisstaking. If you defect, your seat should be up for grabs. Voters deserve better than this. Even in rock solid Tory Tatton.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

43–51 Texans are dead. Drowned. Washed away. Families shattered.
And it didn’t have to happen.

This kind of article in this kind of paper is *exactly* why our politics is such a mess of distrust and sloganeering idiocy.
These aren’t serious people. This is not serious journalism.
They are piss-taking menaces who want power without scrutiny and who will slide our country into the bin.
