The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

A Brexit survival strategy that shows Starmer’s days are numbered
Labour will need a different leader if it pursues a policy of rejoining the EU customs union or single market

As we in Europe sit around waiting to see what mad nonsense Trump comes up with next for Ukraine, I find it hard to take the handwringing seriously. We made a choice in 2014 not to respond to the very obvious aggression and retain our faith in America always being on our side.

Arm Ukraine to win: €522-838 billion. Let Russia win and rearm Europe: €1.2-1.6 trillion—double the cost. Plus 6-11 million additional refugees.

Talked to a pollster yesterday about why a party led by a spectacularly unpopular man who helped bring about the spectacularly unpopular Brexit is polling so well. His view: Reform is essentially a “**** it” button. He thinks the Green’s policy of being “**** it but without racism” might do well.
