Without funding for consistent enforcement this may well raise expectations that will not be met. £1000 fines on trains have done little to improve journey quality as enforcement is inconsistent or absent. theguardian.com/politics/202…

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the histories, cultures, languages, traditions, resilience, and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples. May we continue to listen to Indigenous voices, preserve cultural memory, and approach one another’s stories with respect.

On Rosebank and Jackdaw, his advice to government is to approve both. "No doubt about it." Domestic oil and gas keeps jobs and tax receipts here and is less polluting than imports, he argues. "A no brainer."

“What is the purpose of our defence policy?” “To defend Britain!” “No Bernard. It’s to make people believe Britain is defended” “The Russians?” “No, the British. The Russians know it’s not defended”

A nothingburger. The existing 1951 Treaty, garnished with a heavy dusting of arrogance and hyperbole.
This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people. Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defense area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area. This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland.

I stand firmly in the ‘deal with the small stuff so that it doesn’t become the big stuff’ camp. Old fashioned, probably unpopular, but effective.
In the wake of the violence engulfing Middlesbrough, the decision to let cars burn at a nearby vigil because the field was “contained” sends a disastrous message. Contained for whom? Residents already watching disorder spread across the area? The people wondering whether public order still means anything? The state’s duty is not simply to prevent the absolute worst outcome. It is to uphold order visibly, promptly and confidently.
