Gosh. Just come off the phone with a Canadian colleague. The anger and fear over the US is real. They’re being actively advised not to visit the country. It’s not quite at Ukraine-Russia levels but it’s way beyond what I recall of UK-Ireland relations at the height of the Troubles.
I do think Starmer and Lammy need to understand how visceral this is to Canada and that our circumspection on the issue could cost the relationship dearly long term.

I'd just like to say what an excellent job Donald Trump is doing and what a clever and articulate man JD Vance is. Any suggestion I may have made to the contrary has clearly been taken out of context.They do.Sir William Browder KCMG @BillbrowderI have to say that our plans of celebrating our ruby wedding with an extended trip to the US later this year are somewhat under review. Do we know if they read PB?

Apparently they take great exception when you tell themYou offended them with your subtle puns and understated dress style ?My other half has never been to Vegas and plus my 10 year ban from the Nevada Gaming Commission has expired.Choosing Vegas for your Grand Prix getaway was a mistake anyway.I’ve cancelled my trip to Vegas in November for the Grand Prix.Sir William Browder KCMG @BillbrowderNo one in the right mind would visit the US now.

Nor seek asylum there.
10 years seems harsh.

My grandson is in Thailand. He's just WhatsApped me.I don't know how earthquake proof Myanmar is, I suspect not great. 7.7, depending on depth, doesn't sound good.Reportedly very close to surface. And Mandalay.
An under construction skyscraper in Bangkok has gone.
All in all, doesn't look rosy.

It's all very well to call a quango 'toxic' but quangos are the creation of government and parliament. If parliament wanted the council's guidance to only go into effect upon the approval of the government or parliament, they are uniquely and powerfully in a position to have said so or to say so now.Robert Jenrick has taken another swing at the Sentencing Council but his tweet is too long to reproduce here.Mahmoud emboldened this toxic quango by backing down when she had challenged them. Absolute amateur hour.

If you don't like a quango or its powers or what it actually does, then the place to put it right is parliament, where the Lord Chancellor's government has a three trillion majority.

I'll tell you in 80 Days.I'm pretty sure this is the party Reform's think tank, not the think tank Reform, which has been around a lot longer ?OK, but can you tell me where the Reform Club fits in?
(It's confusing.)
Reform's think tank's first campaign: “countering housebuilding”.

It's always projection. Look at the whining about free speech from Vance, even as they round up students who said some hurty words on campus.It’s desperate false equivalence . I didn’t see the so called woke brigade trying to overturn an election or a danger to democracy .I am recalling the worst thing about the Trump 2016 era - it wasn't anything Trump actually did - it was that awful, awful screaming of the Libs.Taking the knee was more sinister than a seditious coup to overthrow a democratic election?
