The U.S. and U.K. will continue to work together to address our most pressing foreign policy issues – including support for Ukraine, the urgent need for a ceasefire deal that will free the hostages and enable increased relief in Gaza, and a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific.

“Today’s politics are filled with Ivy-educated men who love nothing so much as to denounce liberal elites and the universities that employ them,” writes Beverly Gage. foreignaffairs.com/reviews/autocr…

I interview @richarddawkins on stage tonight in Medford, Mass.

Columnists quit Jewish Chronicle over Gaza stories based on ‘fabrications’ dlvr.it/TDGKTG

The buck stops with the editor. How did this deception happen? What are the credentials of said “journalist”? What checks were made ahead of publication of multiple dodgy stories? And what does the mystery owner of The Jewish Chronicle have to say?

Published today! The final volume of Adrian Bell’s A Countryman Notebook Quartet marks the end of a 5 year project in which I’ve had the pleasure to work with @foxedquarterly to bring these beautiful essays-hidden away in the archives of the Eastern Daily Press-to a new audience.

Well GB News has, reliably, provided an agenda item for today's Antisemitism Policy Trust event Liberal Democrats conference. 9/11 wasn't caused by planes; Kennedy was assassinated because he wanted to end war in Vietnam😐 & if you say otherwise you get called an antisemite.

Valuable thread.

Over the weekend, vice presidential candidate and sitting Ohio senator JD Vance admitted that he lied to incite violence against Haitian immigrants, including his own constituents. There are no words. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/s…

We’re now at stage where GB News spreads the deranged conspiracy theories of “9/11 Truth”. I know people who work there, who I assume are filled with shame. IIRC Neil Oliver has been banished to streaming. It’s not enough; Ofcom must revoke the channel’s UK broadcast licence.

We must call out Antisemitism for what it is: hatred. Tonight, I set a new national ambition. For the first time, studying the Holocaust will become a critical part of every student’s identity. We will make sure that the Holocaust is never forgotten, and never again repeated.

The Greens in Germany’s governing coalition have been resolute in supporting Ukraine. Meanwhile in US there’s Jill Stein, who acts as a reliable conduit for Russian propaganda. Much credit to Mehdi for exposing her evasions.

This is such a good idea.

The Pentateuch was written in Early Modern English.

The difference: The upsetting things said by Trump and Vance are not true. The upsetting things said about Trump and Vance are true. Trump really did mount a violent coup against the Constitution. He and his relatives really did take bribes in office, including from foreign

I know nothing of the commercial issues but am a great fan of both Observer & Tortoise. And I note, with a terrible inevitability, the rank antisemitism in the replies. It never ceases.

All US presidents and other leaders are targets. All get threats, and many face attempted attacks. Where national leaders differ is in how they choose to react, either trying to exploit it to stoke anger and division, as Trump did, or do the opposite, as previous presidents did.
