Can’t believe the stories emerging about Kash Patel. He seems so sane & stable. It’s as if Robert Kennedy turned out to be as mad as a goose or Pete Hegseth a brain dead oik. Unthinkable!

Can anyone who knows about this stuff imagine any situation in which a senior appointee fails their security vetting and this js not somehow communicated to Mission Control. I am reliably informed this would simply not happen.

Not a good look for mission control that was honoured for a particular skill in nailing people for not following the rules.

I'm going to take the rare step of contradicting Ivan Rogers on UK-EU relations. Because relations with the UK per se might not be in the top issues Brussels faces, but they feature in an awful lot of those. Coupled with renewed London thinking means some genuine possibilities.

Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology

Erm... who wants to tell him

I would say “WTF is going on?” but it’s a question that seems to have lost all meaning in the modern age.

In the old days senile dementia was called the 2nd childhood. Seems appopriate.

There were more protesters outside the Turning Point rally in Athens GA than event attendees.

Terrible damage to children is being done in our name.

Government Workers Say They're Getting Inundated With Religion “This has never happened before,” one government employee tells WIRED. “I have never gotten a message like this from anyone.”

Defense spending has fallen since the demise of the USSR. It's not just the UK, NATO is militarily smaller than it was in in 1990 despite having more members.
And before Robertson shouts lack of foresight, I bet he never had the US as a threat on his bingo card.

There are no significant political party differences in the UK on public resource allocation. All believe that pensioners and the NHS are the overwhelming priority, and spending on anything else must fit in around those, to be generated by tackling "waste" or "growth".
