David Lammy makes the tenth justice secretary in 10 years

Incredible to think how the post of Lord chancellor used to one of most static positions in govt - Irvine and Falconer served 5 years, Mackay 10 years

The museum of contemporary history in Slovenia has a strong Wes Anderson feel to it

It’s incredible now to think of everything that comprised Yugoslavia. This summer I’ve travelled from Montenegro through Croatia, Istria and now Slovenia
