Liked your review. Enjoyed the book but agree that Brazil was a huge miss. Author started to lose me on his detour out to Easter Island.

The interesting thing is that this is probably when Priti Patel's career peaked. She went on to become one of the most unpopular frontbench politicians within her own party, running for leader and getting few votes. Still, she got into the House of Lords, so I guess she thinks it was worth it.

Interested to see how all the media reports of Kogan's appointment play him up as a Labour Party donor. Remind me, how many Tory party donors were appointed to positions here, there and everywhere without so much as a media eyebrow being raised . . .

RIP Jose Araquistain at 88 - Real Madrid's goalkeeper in the 1966 European Cup Final victory over Partizan. He had not played a league match all season but was called in after semi-final injury to Antonio Betancort. Yet another international in the Basque goalkeeping tradition.
