“When you only get outraged when one side’s babies are killed, then your moral compass is broken and your humanity is broken.”

Goodbye Derek. A superbly clever, sharp-witted, entrepreneurial, politically astute figure, almost wrenched from a Martin Amis novel. He had a keen understanding of all human frailties and abilities. Loving husband, Labour man and super Dad. Bloody Covid.

Even in the darkest places there have been points of light - I have been thinking about this uplifting Jonathan Freedland article all week. I commend it to you as the year reaches its end… here’s to them shining more brightly in 24… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is a wonderful listen and a far more considered reflection on the question of age leadership than most of what is said. Well worth a listen. Gladstone and Biden comparison is quite something.

Really interesting comparison between Biden and Gladstone - became more radical with age; both lost a beloved son to a brain tumour. Didn’t end so well for Gladstone…

Donald Trump would be an octogenarian in the White House: Biden’s already there. That’s not unprecedented — Gladstone led a global superpower in his 80s and so did Emperor Gordian of Rome. Latest Long View with R.C. Windscheffel and James Corke-Webster bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Hope this column gets a wider read while people have a bit of spare time over the next week. But also buy or borrow from a library The Escape Artist book he wrote this year. As inspirational a book as you will read for many a year. Jonathan Freedland thanks for my book of the year.

Really enjoyed this piece by Jonathan Freedland — we need more journalism like this, that shows us points of light, and how our world can be shaped for the better. Reminds me of Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark

For those in London, the Cook For Good program in Kings X sounds brilliant
