This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Thankyou Robin

Ah there might be more to it than ideology…

4 years ago, post-Brexit rules for British passport holders to Europe took effect. The conditions on passport validity are clear. So why do travel firms and even border officers keep getting them wrong? It goes back to the political chaos of May & Johnson. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

When I type into Google "how can I.." the first option which comes is "... send a message to Donald Trump".

They have wiped billions off the savings of working Americans, now they are boasting about penny pinching. Insane. Thank you for your work Media Diversity Institute

Lol The News Agents call Trump’s attack on universities a “Marxist class elimination”. Little do Brits know what class elimination really looks like. But any populist, left or right, hates experts. He has to be the ultimate expert on everything.

There is no reason to believe that America is somehow intrinsically democratic. It has to safeguard its democracy, just like other countries. Is it too late?

Aviation security 100ml limit scrapped at two UK airports: Birmingham & Edinburgh. Can leave everything (including bottles up to 2 litres) in cabin baggage on your way out. But assume that everywhere else, including your flight home, still uses old rules. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

Interesting to hear ALASTAIR CAMPBELL bemoaning the loss of public idealism on his pod. For me, the last public outcry was the war in Iraq - that's when the public realised democracy does not matter, and warmongering trumps idealism.
