OPINION
— If the United States want to avoid a very-possible very-near future war with China over Taiwan, it must stand up now vigorously to Putin and Russia in Ukraine.
Open Letter
— On the man who Fox News’ lawyers admit he doesn’t know what he is talking about, doesn’t tell the truth – and anyway, his employers don’t even expect him to.
OPINION
— I want to be in the EU, but I tend to think Keir Starmer is right that there is no way to do it (for the foreseeable future) and that therefore it is a pointless fight – especially as waging that fight is playing right into the hands of the Tories.
OPINION
— As you don’t agree to an out of court settlement if you are confident that you can win your case in a court of law, you just don’t give a prime minister the power of unaccountability.

OPINION
— The UK is now at that critical point where it is about to slide into full-blown authoritarianism, presided over by an entitled clown.
