So popped out on the bike. Although it wasn’t raining there was enough water in the air to obscure my visor. Wee short ride to pick up my watch.

In just a single week, Reform UK’s Kent flagship council has seen the following: DOGE failure. Raising Council Tax. Chris Hespe racism. Robert Ford suspension. It’s time for @LeaderofKCC to consider her position. (PS She spent the week campaigning in Wales)

It was such a pleasure to be at this, and to hear Steve speak so eloquently about his love for a country that also perplexes him. This award is richly deserved.
I’m honoured to have received the 2025 Charles Wheeler award in memory of one of the BBC’s greatest foreign correspondents. Thank you to @TheBJReview @JournoCharity @UniWestminster and to Shirin and Marina Wheeler. @shirinwheelerEU

I would just like to say a huge thank you to all that tagged along on Walking With The Jocks this weekend. I never met Peter White, and I certainly can’t speak for him, but I hope that if he knew, he’d appreciate us all trying to keep the memory of the Jocks and what they did

At the risk of echoing the boss, this trip underscored why we do this. Peter White's words in With the Jocks prompted @andyaitcheson’s research and, after five years - sincerely, and genuinely - it’s been a privilege to see him walking the ground in Germany, sharing that story.

Never forget that #RussiaIsATerroristState. Ever.
Out of all chilling photos of Russia’s war against Ukraine, this one haunts me the most. July 2022. 🇺🇦 Kharkiv gets shelled once again. A father of a dead 13-year-old boy holds his hand and reads prayers. On that day, 🇷🇺 reported yet another “surgical strike on military targets”

From @Roger_Moorhouse saw this book off the plot this evening. A tour de force from Roger, again. More myths trashed. A compelling book to read. Highly recommended.

Just for absolute clarity the release of the Israeli hostages and Palestinians is the easy bit; believe it or not. We are no nearer a lasting peace than I am to going on a date with…. anyone.

Bloody hell! I missed WWIII, why did nobody tell me? (Seriously why is that complete spangle Alex Jones still a thing? I thought he had been banished to some run down strip mall flogging dodgy patent medicines)
Damnit it, I missed WWIII. Would have been nice if someone gave me a heads up. You bastards.

Here is Nigel Farage claiming to @TeleriGlynJones that he’s the only senior figure in Reform who has ever met Gill. And here is Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice introducing Gill in glowing terms.

For those in the UK who have (unaccountably!) yet to read Baltic: The Future of Europe, I bring news: - the updated paperback edition will be published on January 29th, and - from Tuesday to Friday only, Waterstones has a 25% discount on pre-orders. You'd be raving mad not to.
