Neil Scott on the Musk, Zuckerberg et al threat to truth… When I was on holiday, I went on a cycling trip with a number of other holiday makers. Two of them were teachers from the USA. They were lovely, funny, decent. Both enjoyed travel, both got on with everyone on the trip. Both, it […]
Starmer is either in denial, or too desperate to realise that the US could be his enemy, even while Trump gladly clutches his hastily thrown State Visit voucher, as an ape would a placatory banana. At least Macron is embracing the possibility of life without the US as an ally, while Starmer’s invisible friend, the […]

Where that’s most evident is, as always, in how minorities are being treated. […]
Neil Scott on Theresa May’s last speech in the Commons. I’ve just watched as Theresa May made her last speech in Westminster (and Harriet Harman… and what a contrast… i’d urge you to find them on YouTube). May’s narrative in her speech was one of hard work and of ambition- with barbed comments against those […]
