Opposition has the luxury of being against without having any of their own values or policies. They can point out problems without providing solutions. But leadership and governing require being for something. What is the GOP for today? Clicks and chaos.

Beyond grateful for this! This is also a huge moral support for all Ukrainians - knowing we are not alone in this war, we have true friends by our side. Thank you!

I am CEO of a Belgian company. I have bought all the generators around our town and will send them in Ukraine as a new year gifts. There are 43, the biggest one weight more than 2000 kg. Full support to Ukraine

I studied to 16 and that was more than enough. Studying for an additional 4 years seems daft.

The NHS in England, run by the Tories, is struggling. The NHS in Scotland, run by the SNP, is struggling. The NHS in Wales, run by Labour, is struggling. Perhaps the politicians aren’t actually the problem? thetimes.co.uk/article/66b14…

Interesting from Masih on how Western liberal feminists have only pivoted to supporting Iranian women protesting compulsory hijab now they are being killed.

The Rest Is History -The Man Who Escaped Auschwitz. One of the best episodes of TRIH and unusually it’s virtually a monologue by ⁦@Freedland⁩ about his stunning book with occasional prompts by ⁦@holland_tom⁩ and ⁦@dcsandbrook⁩ shows.acast.com/the-rest-is-…

I had a pretty good 2022: I did amusing things and got a great job. But writing this piece remains the most important thing I've done by far, and it's also now the @spectator's most-read article of the year. spectator.co.uk/article/most…

Viktor Onysko, Ukrainian editing director, gave his life for Ukraine on the frontlines. His 9 year old daughter lost her dad. "You said there is no bigger torture at war than telling families about deaths. Now I felt it," Viktor's wife, Olga Birzul, wrote. RIP, Hero.

Thought this year's New Year's Eve fireworks were spectacular. Seen some people questioning the cost. But you either do these things properly, or you don't do them at all.
Another stunning #NYE. Wishing all of you the best 2023 ✨

Very, very loud explosion right now in central Kyiv. Unsure if it was an impact or air defence.
