‘The Russian Bond is on his way’: exclusive extracts from the letters of John le Carré

In one of his letters dated 1993, John le Carre wrote "If we ever doubted that the world had altered after the Cold War, a couple of days in Moscow would put us out of our misery".

Comment l'intelligence artificielle a alimenté la désinformation sur la capture de Nicolas Maduro
Comment l'intelligence artificielle a alimenté la désinformation sur la capture de Nicolas Maduro
Plusieurs photographies massivement relayées sur les réseaux sociaux prétendent documenter la capture du président vénézuélien, Nicolas Maduro, par l'armée américaine. Ces clichés sont pourtant factices et témoignent d'une désinformation alimentée par les générateurs d'images par IA, dont les productions deviennent de plus en plus réalistes.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

To Prez, this remains one of best community notes of all time. To prove we can’t be beaten this idiot tweets a picture of 5 of our warships, 4 of which had been sunk. The remaining is probably now out of action.

I quote from Andrew Tate’s X profile:
‘Unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour.’
Erm…
This is certainly not the case when it comes to boxing Andy.
Oh dear.
You poor little love.

🚨BREAKING🚨
MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.
