Nigel Farage says it upsets him when people call the far-right violence 'The Farage Riots'. So people should definitely not do that

Trump backing Tories should watch and reflect on this.

Reporting the likely appointment of Michael McGrath as EU Justice Commissioner as a disappointment is a bit perplexing. Any EU Law people I know see it as a major portfolio. And the ongoing rule of law issues with Hungary and Poland are of existential importance to the EU.

Wise words as always from Dominic Grieve

It’s funny how it’s possible to be a technology billionaire and lack any basic or emotional intelligence. Elon Musk has the wisdom of a bumptious 12 year old
