Taylor Rehmet’s stunning victory in Texas by flipping a +17 Trump district can’t be overstated. He’s the first Democrat in 35 years to win this district, and he won by 14 points — despite the GOP outspending him by over $2 million. Democrats have now won or overperformed in 240 of 269 key elections.

Listening to 80s rock and finishing up the next cover on my list.

"If you are not at the table, you are on the menu."
Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos reportedly received a standing ovation.

The speech marked the end of an era.

It will no doubt be looked to as part of the historical record of the end of the transatlantic rules-based international order.

Doctors still recommend flu shot despite sneaky new strain

One thing that drives me crazy about our current moment is that our problems could be solved by a small handful of powerful people who are inoculated from the consequences of actions. But because they’re cowards, a great number of people who are not so inoculated must act and suffer instead.

Tea With Judi Dench review – the most touching TV you’ll watch all Christmas (plus a sweary parrot)
She’s such a great interviewer that this chat with Kenneth Branagh feels like it deserves an entire series. It’s relentlessly charming – and hugely moving when they talk about Dame Judi’s late husband
