Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

Immigration, indecency, and incompetence. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. The ever-more indecent terms of the immigration 'debate' are another failure of Brexit, which links to the ever-more obvious incompetence of Reform in local government: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/immi...

I have tried & failed to find appropriate words to describe this extraordinary article. Suffice to say that if you read it, you will never forget it. Or the little boy at its heart.
I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.
Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max
It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

This also speaks to my point last night about our electoral system being tested to breaking point. Here, almost three quarters of voters did not select the winning mayor.
The emergence of four or five party politics is evident in many of today’s results.
Look at this from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough mayoral election.
Paul Bristow (C) 60,243
Ryan Coogan (Ref) 49,647
Anna Smith (Lab) 42,671
Lorna Dupre (LD) 41,611
Bob Ensch (Green) 18,255

I know it's only a small detail amid the unending horror but it still amazes me that someone quite so obviously illiterate and incapable of coherent thought as Trump does not pass up a single opportunity to advertise it the world.
He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows *exactly* who he is.
