Tree of the Day

New @restispoliticsus.bsky.social LEADING with the brilliant Norwegian historian Arne Westad who helps us understand whether we are heading to (or to some degree already in) a Third World War. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Tree of the Day

When you arrive for an event and discover you’re speaking from a pulpit. Good to see Retford book festival going from strength to strength. And to feel to anti-TrumpVanceFarageMusk energy. Did my Starmer stay or go vote 70 stay 30 go. And US or China bigger threat to stability. 85-15 win for US

Tree of the Day

Greetings from Helsinki. They do love their tall trees and their statues. That pigeon stood on this guy’s head for ages!! Tree of the Day team effort. Also nice to see President Stubb who is one of the brightest political brains around, and meet his wife, fellow Brit Suzanne

This is the book I mention on @therestpolitics.bsky.social today. Mainly about US and Netherlands as author is Dutch but one or two British politicians clearly well aligned with key passages as they exploit family grief and police error to fan rage hate and violence

New @therestpolitics.bsky.social - The Pope’s encyclical on AI - absolutely superb! And TB essay on Labour - a few more doubts about that one !! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Tree of the Day

Got my Tree of the Day outside the stadium. Not a classic final but totally absorbing from start to finish. Always sad when someone loses on penalties but real touch of class from Marquinhos to be first to go over to Gabriel after the miss.

Full Tree of the Day podium Hampstead Heath this morning
