💥📣 My new book will be out on 7 May! Order your copy now: geni.us/PeaceMakers. It’s the exciting story of the men and women of the Foreign Office in WWII. In a world torn apart by war, they evacuated UK citizens, picked up intel in shadowy corners, corralled allies and organised PoW escape lines.

As a respite from a crazy world, try the William Nicholson show at Pallant House Chichester. He rivals Chardin in his capacity to paint silverware. The 18th century tea caddy which figures in several works is on show as well. The wonderful picture of the mug is from the Royal Collection 1/2

During a gaggle on Air Force One tonight, I asked Donald Trump about British PM Keir Starmer. He said he was “a very good person” and he’d done “a very good job so far.” Adds that they are going to have a phone conversation in the next 24 hours.

Journalist, "How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?"
Donald Trump, "I'm not confident. It's not our war it's their war"
"Gaza is like a massive demolition site"
"Gaza is a phenomenal location, on the sea, the best weather, everything's good"

One distressing part of the sudden change of plea was the bereaved families were not present The judge apologised They were expected to attend start of trial tomorrow

After America, France has the highest share of women on active duty in the armed forces. I found this chart in a recent piece by my colleague @shashj.bsky.social fascinating. Each time I travel with the 🇫🇷 armed forces, I am struck by how many women there are in uniform

Quite agree. Civil servants will only speak truth to power if power keeps confidences private.
If diplomats can’t say what they really think to their own governments without fearing that this assessment will become public, one might as well abolish the whole profession.
