We have just sent our first fortnightly edition of The Spectator for the US market. And it's a gem. The cover piece, by Benjamin Domenech, is on the military conflict that MAGA wants. It could not be more timely:

According to multiple texts and emails from InPost UK I have until 19.22 today to collect my Vinted U.K. parcel, but having been to pick it up this afternoon I've been told the QR code doesn't work and there's no sign of it at the collection point. Where is it InPost UK?

Hi Vinted. It turns out InPost UK came and took my parcel back at 12.27pm today when the pick-up deadline was 7.22pm... i.e. 7 hours early. But instead of fixing their error and helping get it back to me they've told me I need to get in touch with you. So, can you help?
