Democracy and the international rules based order, social-democrat, pro-Ukraine, anti-Brexit, pro-cats, two wheels (powered or unpowered) always captures my attention. Analytical but somehow the husband of an empath and father of a creative.

Crypto investor donates record £9m to Reform UK
The sum from Christopher Harborne is the largest ever single donation by a living person to a British political party.

Motorcycle Live at the NEC in Birmingham, really liked the Royal Enfield stand with its free coffee for Owner's Club members and some great bikes. The quality of the Chinese bikes on the MotoGB was impressive. Electric bikes had zero interest from the public.

I lost my sight two years ago. Mostly I'm okay with being blind. I've adapted well. I am very independent and have found new ways to "see" the world. But there's four things I miss seeing more than anything. My three children's faces. And the stars at night.

Just sent out this piece about what I heard about Ukraine from US and European voices at Davos. It was not reassuring. US people are operating within a cult-like environment, and Europeans are debasing themselves to work with the cult.

Glad to see this put in simple terms and at the top of reddit politics. Normalizing Nazism as centrism is his project. And it's working.

Hi All, sent out my weekend update, free as always. It examines the global war--how it continues to suck in more of the world and as a result is affecting more of the world. From the Baltic, to North Korea, to Central Asia and the Middle East, things are changing. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
