This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....
I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...

It is my firm belief that Blue Labour = Tory. They just don't want to admit it.

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.

Have been thinking about comments from people saying the "peace plan" also includes things that Russia won't like, and citing the use of Russia's frozen assets for reconstruction of Ukraine. But nothing in the plan says the money couldn't be spent in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.

Your occasional reminder that, while there are many bad things about Reform UK, being a limited company isn't one of them. It's fine, and they aren't the only ones.

She puts it very succinctly.
Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”
Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

This is a screenshot of a post by Arnaud Bertrand about Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at The Hague. A piece in Le Monde describes how this man's life has been made almost impossible because of US sanctions against him for authorising the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.

If that Supreme Court judgment ends up requiring all women to be 'tested' or to be forced to have ID just to use the toilet, it will be a prime example of a Pyrrhic Victory.
I'm not arguing with the result in law, just at the consequences.
