This seems like a great time to reshare my favourite Sir Patrick Stewart performance, ‘What has the ECHR ever done for us?’ It’s just perfect in every possible way … including the ending 😂😂😂 RIP. 🎥 The Guardian

Spain has made telecare a legal right for people assessed as dependent. Its new law names connected devices and AI, so I expect contract renewals to be tested against it. Read it on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/pulse/spain-has… Get it by email on Substack: davidivorsmith.substack.com/…

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.
