Some of the most vigorous cancel-culture aggressors are now frantically backpedaling. This is a landmark piece by Kathleen Stock on the de-cancellation of Kate Clanchy. I'm glad that insane era is over

Brilliant interview
Does @laurenduca, Teen Vogue's star writer and an avatar of thigh-high-boots Millennial feminism, lament the magazine's demise this week? Not really. She's logged off hyper-online politics and . . . found Jesus. @ryan_zickgraf interview her for us. https://t.co/u7sY1E4SKa

'...Although Harry isn’t a “working royal”, he must still keep in mind the interests of the Firm — namely, more or less by definition, being whatever the current regime requires them to be. Under current conditions, that means nodding along to progressive internationalism, a
I expected the usual emetic NHS and Paddington Bear type stuff from Prince Harry's Remembrance Sunday essay, but what I found was much stranger. I wonder what he actually thinks about the way Britain's government treats our Armed Forces:

I'm in the New Statesman today talking about what Anglofuturism means for progressives, the left, and those allergic to nostalgia—and why we can't afford to disagree that Britain needs a brilliant future.

Very enjoyable piece on Updike, and his modern reception, by @pratinavanil
There is no preachiness in Updike’s pages, no hortatory insistence that we discern the piety beneath the prurience, the hymn beneath the hard-on. It’s the irresolution that makes his heroes human, writes @pratinavanil 👇 https://t.co/IMfWsRLGXQ

We welcome the government's pausing the Chagos Islands Bill. They must now go a step further and pull the Bill in its entirety and enable the 2015 KPMG report which supports self-determination, protects security and British sovereignty.

As per Create Streets https://t.co/gdh2YlGEId

Bureaucratic gravity will drag the New Towns toward looking like Milton Keynes, but the planners should be ruthless in pursuing the kind of charm in the pic below. No street furniture, minimal signage, lots of greenery. Imagine the 20th century never happened

NEW ⚡️ I followed Curtis Sliwa last weekend — from GOP HQ in Staten Island to a Halloween parade in Queens — and found that behind the red beret and theatrics lies a surprisingly serious revolt against NYC’s elites. https://t.co/9zurygRdoT

I had a go at improving it.
This is a recently completed British train station. It is pathetic, value engineered to a level of comatose ugliness that dispirits & dulls the mind, dissuading passengers & degrading the trains that run through it. It is not civic or sociable architecture....

Scoop from @DavidRoseUK: the discredited Russiagate dossier was part of a pattern of work produced by the ex-spy Christopher Steele. Steele has also made damaging allegations against British citizens – accusing them, too, of conniving with the Kremlin. But can Steele be

Good, old fashioned journalism - thank god for @unherd A sobre, restrained and careful account examining the facts around the late Virginia Giuffre's memoirs
‘No reasonable assessment of this combination of events could conclude that Giuffre is a reliable narrator, yet her claims have been mindlessly transmitted to a mass audience.’ @mtracey reads Virginia Giuffre’s memoir👇
