I’m a financial journalist, I don’t cover defence. But I was born on a British army barracks in Germany. My brother is in the infantry and I attended the inquest of one of his soldiers, killed in Afghanistan. I saw his red eyed parents and the girlfriend holding their baby. One of many such losses.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

A stark warning from Pritchard of just how tough things are going to be for the NHS in the coming weeks
The health service saw its "busiest October ever"
Flu, Covid, RSV & norovirus all spiked — & that's before properly cold temps
"the more that we can do to encourage vaccination, the better”

There will be "unprecedented demand" on the NHS this winter, boss Amanda Pritchard has warned
Speaking to PolHome, she urged people to get vaccinated after the "busiest October ever"

"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers"
Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.
