I have a sudden and overwhelming sense that everything is going to be quite alright.
This is a brilliant piece of reporting by @WTMAtkinson and John Power….

"Russell Brand? The addiction campaigner?"
I will always respect Russell Brand for his work raising awareness around addiction. Someone I grew up around managed to get clean with guidance through his work on addiction. Being in recovery myself for nearly 16 months now, I have enormous respect for the work he did on this.

Note: WW1 but not WW2.
The treatment by Eire of their citizens who went to fight Hitler was nothing short of disgraceful.

On Remembrance Sunday, Ambassador Hyland laid a laurel wreath on behalf of the Government of Ireland at the Cenotaph in London. Her participation honours the memory of those who left their homes and families on the island of Ireland to fight in WW1 and never returned.

Well, a sad story from Britain this week.
According to the Earl of Spencer, several intruders have recently broken into his family estate in search of souvenirs from Princess Diana's grave.
But the Earl says he knows just how to protect the site:
Landmines!

Cato the Elder in Greece (artist’s impression)
There are so many hilarious anecdotes about Cato (my favourite is him being sent on an eighteen month diplomatic mission to various Greek cities and, despite being completely fluent in Greek, refusing to say a word of it while he was there because Romans shouldn’t speak foreign)

Hi Ben,
It's now been 54 days since I emailed you regarding my council tax bill. Instead of virtue signalling about a data visualisation company, please can you let me know what you're doing to stop your constituents' costs shooting through the roof?
Best,
Maxwell

Palantir's £330m NHS data contract ends in March unless extended. People don't trust it, its benefits are contested and the NHS risks being locked in. But simply swapping a US provider for a UK one isn't the answer – the NHS would still be tied to a single supplier. (1/3)
