After 30 great years there, I'll always be a bit of a Londoner, but very happy to be back in the EU, (wondering what the hell is happening to non-London England)

The more comes to light on the Letby case, the more I think the conviction was unsafe. Now it emerges that part of the case against her was that air was injected by her into baby C on the 13th June. Yet an x-ray on the 12th June showed air was already present. Letby was not on duty on the 12th.

Well that's not bad. I was sceptical. But the centre of the high pressure being out by 200km and only a few barometrics is not bad. It was 13 days ago!

As usual, Rawnsley lays out clearly the main points of a key issue for no 10: Trump, Tariffs, Europe.

I would hate to have been the sap who had to explain to Trump that his tariffs are a tax on US consumers. They probably used hand puppets and cartoon diagrams to try and get it across.
