"I've never seen an American president, not just in our lifetime, in the last two centuries of American history, be that critical of a British prime minister." @RNicholasBurns tells me "a fundamental mistake is: disparage your allies, make life difficult for them at home, you really can't expect them to be with you in a fight that they didn't start

Kemi Badenoch's surreal car crash interview on #C4News Gary Gibbon, "You said you want the RAF to be allowed to launch missiles against Iranian targets" Kemi Badenoch, "If they are striking British bases, yes" Gary Gibbon, "You want them more involved?" Kemi Badenoch, "It's not an escalation it's a defensive position" Gary Gibbon, "I think that's joining in a war, not a war we were consulted on" Kemi Badenoch, "This is true" Gary Gibbon, "This is not a war that has been thought through" Kemi Badenoch, "I agree with that" Gary Gibbon, "Do you agree that it is an illegal war?" Kemi Badenoch, "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "Will you answer if it's legal?" Kemi Badenoch, "I've already answered multiple questions on whether it is legal or not" "We are in it whether we like it or not" Gary Gibbon, "So whatever Donald Trump starts, we join in?" Kemi Badenoch, "Let's be clear, Iran is an enemy of this country" "Prime Minister Keir Starmer maybe thinks he can sit on the fence and hope it can go away, that's not happening" "You talk about inflation, oil shocks, these things happen" Gary Gibbon, "They happen because of this war"

@JohnSimpsonNews I remember him well from Sarajevo too. A softly spoken raconteur who looked like a Roman statue come to life. He was indeed a very generous colleague. RIP

So very sorry to hear that my good friend John Burns of the NYT has died. We first met during the siege of Sarajevo. It annoyed me he got an egg for breakfast when we were so hungry. Then I found he was battling cancer — and still reporting from the most dangerous place on earth.

Really excited to share the paperback design for ‘Allies at War’: an account of how Churchill and Roosevelt, despite myriad disagreements, made the world a safer place by combatting unprovoked aggression and creating a global system based on international law.

Urgent message from @WCKitchen
Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳@chefjoseandres

We have been told that Gaza’s borders are closed indefinitely. If they stay closed, @wckitchen will run out of food this week. We are cooking 1M hot meals every day. We need food deliveries every single day to feed hungry families who are not part of this war. All the NGOs in Gaza need more food, medicine, medical equipment, fuel, tents, personal care every day. We cannot wait...let the humanitarian trucks go through today! #ChefsForGaza

Yesterday my wonderful friend Paul Conroy ⁦@reflextv⁩ died of a heart attack. After years taking pictures and reporting in some of the world’s most dangerous places, he was visiting family in Devon. All of us who knew and loved him are devastated. He was 61.

When the PM was in Beijing he said the issue of Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment had been mentioned to Xi JinPing. Little detail on how robustly. The fact that Lai, a UK citizen, still got 20 years speaks volumes!!

Hong Kong (i.e. the Chinese government) has sentenced the 78-year-old media mogul Jimmy Lai to 20 years for daring to criticise the collapse of HK’s freedom. Jimmy has UK citizenship. There can be no seriously friendly relationship between Britain and China while he is in prison.

Unbelievable that a man who spent US$75m on a film no-one wants to see about Melania Trump has just fired almost all the foreign correspondents on the newspaper he owns. You might think nothing was happening in this world. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost #SaveThePost
