My book is out in the UK on October 14!
"Whatever Happened to Tradition? History, Belonging & the Future of the West”.
Combining history & philosophy, I argue that tradition is beautiful & necessary, that fidelity to our past is key to future happiness.

My grandma’s obituary. One of the last of a very special generation - selfless and self-effacing, dutiful and kind, generous with her time and efforts. If she were still with us she’d certainly be very annoyed to see any kind of fuss being made over her

Russia's Gazprom continues to supply gas to Europe via Ukraine. It pays Ukraine for transit services.

I’m not sure the Rwandan plan will happen because I can’t interpret any other way than illegal, whether it should be or not. Every “lay” person I’ve spoken to presumes they are sent there for processing. Not so: they are sent there to stay, redirecting their application.

I agreed with the former bishop of Jarrow that the U.K. actually handles a relatively small proportion of the global refugee crisis, and the chief complaint is that safe routes exist for some (Ukraine) but not others: Iran usually tops the list for U.K. refugees.

As I said in the rest of this interview, this is a v short clip of the end, I have no objection to clerics commenting on politics: Welby not only speaks up for migrants on these shores but heads a communion that includes the very countries they’ve come from.

"Do you like wind farms" vs "Do you want a wind farm in your garden" etc. Right and Left play this game.

Today is Holy Saturday, a time of waiting. This curious 1880s glass by WG Taylor at Thornham Magna, Suffolk remembers Anne Henniker, who kneels bottom right with St John, Mary, St Mary Magdalene and St Peter at the guarded tomb, the stone in place, the entrance sealed.

Oh I didn’t notice that. Still willing to bet the numbers wouldn’t be that different.

It’s entirely representative, as in balance of views, of the people I’ve spoke to offline. It’s actually not as popular as I expected, though folks might be lying to pollsters.

I'm incredibly honored to have President Trump's support. He was an incredible fighter for hard working Americans in the White House, he will be again, and I'll fight for the America First Agenda in the Senate.

Trump endorses JD VANCE in the Ohio GOP Senate primary. A big boost for the author who has struggled to break through to the top tier. Primary is in three weeks.

So Dr. Oz is a bigger name - but Trump endorsing JD Vance is a bigger gamble that the former president’s endorsement can carry the day in a GOP primary

This is big (if it happens). Trump picking an underdog, which is a risk, and a former critic. But Vance has national attention and anti war credentials. Plus, if you watch the primary debates, he’s by far the most eloquent and coherent contender (one debate featured a brawl).

The prospect that Donald Trump might soon endorse J.D. Vance in Ohio’s crowded Republican Senate primary race is stirring confusion and anxiety in the state, as some GOP leaders mount a last-ditch effort to persuade Trump against making the move. nyti.ms/3ElJiUM

I stopped understanding capitalism somewhere around William Randolph Hearst. It’s absurdly complicated after that.
