Lovely stuff
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

Clara Halley and Rose Greene followed me today. They are both pretty, white and blonde. My wife will be livid, but I suspect all is not as it seems. They are both the very same pretty, white, blonde woman, and, as my wife will attest, I am not worth following.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.

Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

Brilliantly put - why no mainstream media or government minister ever says this same thing is beyond me. I spent 2 years in Dubai: the veneer is indeed lovely and shiny; the reality is, though, that it is absolutely unsustainable literally and metaphorically, with nearly nothing behind it
The mirage of safety: Dubai, Reform UK, and the false promise of order

Dubai’s promise of safety and order, like that of Reform UK, rests on an illusion and comes at a cost to those without power

Like Comey, she is going to have an array of lawyers that demolish the mopes who currently work at Trump's behest. And we should all be here for that.
