Edmund Burke, describing DOGE.

Young men (boys almost) govern there, without society, and without sympathy with the natives. They have no more social habits with the people, than if they still resided in England; nor indeed any species of intercourse but that which is necessary to making a sudden fortune, with a view to a remote settlement. Animated with all the avarice of age, and all the impetuosity of youth, they roll in one after another; wave after wave; and there is nothing before the eyes of the natives but an endles…

"Israel and America’s war with Iran is not just a strategic throw of the dice. It is a fundamental shift in how power operates in a multipolar world. Though a transition toward new models of collective security remains theoretically possible, as the foundations of US global hegemony wither under Donald Trump the current trajectory favours entropy over order. The danger is not merely in acts of war, it is also in the chaos they leave behind."

Chaos engulfs Iran. What can Britain and Europe do?

“The band said: ‘You know what’s “not appropriate” Keir?!’ They then used an expletive to accuse the prime minister of arming a genocide.
Israel has strongly denied allegations of genocide relating to the ongoing war in Gaza.”

"Kneecap performing at Glastonbury 'not appropriate', PM says" Starmer knows that the principle of English law is innocent until proven guilty. He also knows that the case against Mo Chara is incredibly weak and that the Crown may well lose the case. So this intervention by him is disgusting and made for low cheap political points to pander to Reform voters. He is beneath contempt. It will take a long long time before I consider voting Labour again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5z…
