@bionicmanc It’s not true. But most people reason backwards from their gut feelings. That’s why “I’d bet that…” trumps facts like this.

No PM since 1940 has taken over in harder times. The war and the spike in energy prices hit before the economy had begun to heal from the lockdowns. We have NHS backlogs, a diminished workforce and vast debts.
All of us should wish @trussliz luck. Her successes will be Britain's.

On the left, the foreign smart-alecks, including Jeremy Corbyn, Bernie Sanders and Noam Chomsky, telling Chileans to ditch their constitution.
On the right, why Chileans declined their advice, by 62% to 38%.
Felicitaciones, Chile! 🇨🇱

RT @DanielJHannan: Unpopular, I know, but people should use exonyms. The French should call Dover Douvres. The Germans should call Bratislava Pressburg. We should say Kiev - not because it’s the Russian form, but because it’s the English form. Argentines should say Malvinas for the same reason.

Two thoughts as I leave this handsome city.
1. I am more optimistic than I was about food exports. Even before grain shipments from Odessa resumed, other routes were opening.
2. I am, though, less optimistic about a breakthrough in Kherson. This ghastly war seems set to last.

"Did the abdication of Romulus Augustulus on 4 September 476 really mark the end of the Roman Empire in the West? The answer is that it did – for Odoacer refused to accept a Western Emperor. He requested the rank of Patrician; but the title that he preferred to use was Rex"

RT @DanielJHannan: Odessa is vibrant and dazzling. The opera is reopening tonight. Yes, there’s still a curfew, but almost everything else is returning to normal.
I don’t want to minimise the suffering elsewhere in Ukraine. But I do want to salute the resolve of local people.

@JohnRushforth1 Actually, it's the precise opposite of whataboutery. Whataboutery means excusing bad behaviour from your friends on grounds of similar bad behaviour from your enemies. What I'm arguing for is consistency. I'll let @JonahDispatch explain.

My friend @BrooksNewmark has so far evacuated 14,000 women & children from the war zone. We spent today in Mykolaiv, which is under constant bombardment and has lost its water supply, but where we still found some amazing cakes. The resilience of Ukrainians is humbling.

Shall I tell you the worst thing about this law-breaking? It’s not the flagrant vandalism. It’s not even the idiocy of demanding a citizens’ assembly in the world’s preeminent assembly of elected citizens. It’s that humouring these fools is what gave the energy crisis.

Congratulations to everyone who said Tiraspol. The USSR lives on in this little unrecognised sliver of land, rather as the Byzantine Empire lived on in Trebizond after the fall of Constantinople.

Delighted to meet President @sandumaiamd, Moldova's clever and charming president, in Chișinău. Moldova faces a terrifying winter spike in energy costs as well as a security threat. But she is steering her brave little country toward peace and freedom.

RT @cwforward: Does anyone here really believe that the troubles we face today arise because the Government has spent too little? Or because taxes are too low, or because we’ve run too many surpluses?
Of course not.
We need more FREEDOM, not less 🙏
