Perhaps we can stop being so parochial about Starmer's trip to Washington now. It was a failure. We are in a battle against fascism. And every decision we make is judged by whether it assisted or opposed it.

One of my favourite folk myths in the UK is 'The Days When Postage Was Cheaper'. Love how the person serving at the post office always winces as they say something like, "It's going to be £1.49, is that ok?"

Literary worlds colliding this week. In Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky mentions The Last of the Mohicans, and in Graham Greene's The Honorary Counsel the main character keeps reading Borges short stories! Any other examples? #dostoevsky #grahamgreene

Do you like little books? Do you like ethics? Are you looking for the ideal stocking filler which combines both? Here's a little thing I done this year, which I think is quite good.
