RIP John Edward William d’Ancona CB (May 28, 1935-June 24, 2019). Beloved husband, father, grandfather, public servant, footballer, and patriot. He played for Newcastle and rose to the heights of Whitehall. But love of family came first. There was nobody like you, Dad. Thank you.

It's so obviously right that Æthelstan should go on the 4th plinth, it barely needs saying. x.com/NeilDotObrien/…
Athelstan on the fourth plinth - let's make it happen!

Who do you think about on Veterans Day? Jim McCain asked me that in a conversation for the @McCainInstitute about Courage Can Save US.
Jim enlisted in the Marines at 17. His father was a senator. He had other options.
Thanks, Jim. And thank you to everyone who served, and to rve too.

It's so good.
Congrats to @malcolmguite on Release Day!
“And who is the babe he holds so close?
Why, he is Arthur, Uther’s son,
Long prophesied to be the one
To face the darkness all alone,
To pull the sword from out the stone,
To re-establish Logres’ throne
And from that throne to reign.”

The government simply has to engage with this criticism of the draft Conversion Practices Bill from former DPP Lord Ken Macdonald, reported in The Telegraph

What an interview question. This is remarkable TV.

Strong agree. Maybe the only thing anybody will remember about that interview in a month is the answer to the Hell and forgiveness question -- precisely because it reveals so much about Trump's character. That Ross said "Even though you've been given so much?" brought it home.
This, imo, is the Douthat Difference. It's also why I think he should just lean into these kinds of questions on existence and meaning and civilizational contours, as opposed to just asking the questions any journalist would ask. Revelatory stuff...

Highlights from Day 2 in London.
Morning on @TimesRadio with @hugorifkind. Then a roundtable with @Scaramucci and journalists from @TheEconomist, @TheSun, @HuffPostUK, and @ObserverUK. @BBCArabic with Tony El-Khoury, followed by a long sit-down with David Williamson of ullis House.
Closed the night at @howtoacademy with @AlistairCarns, Anthony Scaramucci and @jason_carl_fox, moderated by @MatthewdAncona.
The US midterms came up in every room. So did the question underneath them: what courage asks of leaders on both sides of the Atlantic.
Tonight: Caterham School, where a donor to With Honor is putting free copies in the hands of students. If you know a teacher in the US or UK who'd want the book for their classroom, point them to CourageCanSaveUS.com, and we'll send one. Thanks to every teacher doing this work.
Courage Can Save Us is out now in the UK.

Labour needs to catch up on this.
As Kemi has made clear this morning the @Conservatives oppose the Conversion Practices draft bill.
It is unworkable and criminalises parents for doing the right thing by their child.
