I'm also old enough to remember all those who told us Trump would make the world more stable. One year in, he's threatening to destroy an eight decade security alliance, the pillar of Western stability, over not getting an award.

It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

We're running out of ways to say it, but for all the progress that has been made things are still getting worse and over the coming decades climate impacts will only intensify. The world is facing risks that could quickly prove genuinely catastrophic.

The more useful data point is that emissions in 2030 have to fall 25 per cent from 2019 levels for a 2C pathway, and 40 per cent for a 1.5C pathway. Last year they rose by 2.3 per cent.

It took ~9 months for Farage to go from disavowing mass deportations to promising them, and then 25 days to go from promising them to expanding that promise. At this rate I really dread to think where this policy will be by the next election...
