For those of us old enough to remember the fun days of Margaret Thatcher, this week has had the invigorating element of déjà vu. The Prime Minister’s speech about renationalising utilities, taking homes off neglectful landlords, establishing a National Care Service, tackling the triple lock, electoral reform and, possibly, reversing Brexit felt like

    Swan Song by Charles Spencer review: Revenge dish is even better aged 30 years - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Apart from the bombshells, what’s the book like? The trouble about reading Swan Song: Diana, my sister, Earl Spencer’s account of his sister Princess Diana, is that we all know the best reveals, the one about the then Prince Charles hissing down the phone at Spencer after his sister’s death: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough!”; the other that he seemed “giddily elated” by her death. Oh, and the valet. Everything else is a bit anticlimactic after those three corkers, vigorously disputed

    OPINION - Forgive me if I don’t trust the tech bros to save us from the AI apocalypse - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Really, the next Bond movie writes itself. Like From Russia With Love, in which 007 is on the same side as the Russians against Spectre (a megalomaniac outfit with no national affiliations ready to destroy the world), the new version would unite old enemies against a common threat.

    OPINION - The godawful Netanyahu government is the real problem, not Miliband or sanctions - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is one thing to bear in mind when considering the actions of the Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, in imposing sanctions on Jewish settlements in the occupied territories and it is the stance of his mother, Marion, who died earlier this year. Marion Kozak was a Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust by taking refuge in a convent. She made her life here and, like her husband Ralph, was a social activist and campaigner for the causes she believed in. And one of those causes was a just settlemen
