“Dictatorship in one country can influence the democratic world - it’s like cancer, you have to cut it to the last cell because it will spread.” Belarus' President-in-exile, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, on why the fight for a free Belarus is worth the personal danger she continues to face.

"Nixon had the madman theory - the idea that you pretend to be a madman to see how far you can take a threat to make the other side cave. "But Trump isn't just emulating a theory. He's actually becoming the thing."

"The palace must be thinking - oh my god, what are we doing?" Moments after Trump slagged off the UK, King Charles confirmed his state visit to the US will go ahead. Is he being forced to go by the PM – and is this a recipe for a Royal cock-up?

"Has there been a more egregious and shameful decision by a PM - getting rid of someone to save their own skin? "Olly Robbins is out of a job, apparently, for doing his job." Keir Starmer came to office promising to clean up politics. Yet where are we now?

“Senior military figures in the UK have told us we need to start thinking of ourselves not in a post-war state, but in a pre-war state“ Are we in the early days of WWIII?

"A very convenient coincidence" and "conveniently odd". This is how ministers are describing the theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone, and his use of disappearing WhatsApp messages. So, is it an issue that government messages are "disappearing into the ether"?

"After Sarah Everard was killed by a police officer, Farage said: 'we musn't allow the tragic murder of a woman to turn into attacks on men and police'. "Five years on - the right is fighting with itself to be the party that doxxes, incites, whips up."

“One year Jeff Bezos says, ‘I’m so poor, I’m going to claim family benefits’ - and he receives a cheque”, says Gabriel Zucman. How did one of the wealthiest people in the world qualify for benefits?

Tony Blair says he is “anxious” and “pessimistic” about Labour's future. “There’s no point in deciding who leads the country on the basis of personality unless you understand our purpose in governing”.

“Farage has gone as close as he can to what feels like incitement… ...before stepping back and saying, “I’m not suggesting you do anything. I'm just saying it would be normal to feel pure cold rage”. Farage has been likened to 'Tommy Robinson in a suit' - is there any truth in it?

10years ago this embankment of snowdrops was a gift of 5/8 bulbs. I regularly divide&planted as singles until they’d bulk up&divide again. I also collected their seeds&sowed them to grow on. It took about 3/4 years for them to flower from seed. Sorry I do not know the variety.

2/ During a recent episode of "The King's Hall" podcast, Brian Sauvé, a pastor at the Refuge Church in Utah, argued that the U.S. government should adopt "just laws" from the Bible, including those that call for the death penalty for disobedient sons. ⁠

Appointing a DNI with zero intelligence experience because he’s a great guy socially? The White House actually admitted they trust Trump’s judgment because he’s a quick study of people’s emotional abilities. We are talking about national security, not a reality TV casting call.
