As ever worth noting how small political donations are here relative to the states. All the money raised by all UK parties in the last quarter comes to less than one donation to one candidate in the Republican Illinois primary for governor. And he lost.

This from @mrianleslie captures why constitutional monarchies work, even if having one offends the rationalist in me. ianleslie.substack.com/p/bei…

Enjoyed this detail. As if the outcome might have been different if Wilfred and Romy were present.

For around three hours the group drew up a fightback plan. They sat on sofas drinking water and teas (no booze). It was just that group - Carrie and the children understood not have been present. 8/

* COVID THREAD ON BEST WE CAN DO LONG TERM * Yes we’re in an acute crisis with Omicron and that needs dealing with, but it has actually made me want to think a lot about how this horrible pandemic ends, maybe you too? Let’s go through it… 1/35 (sorry, but this is troubling me)

Amongst the many great sadnesses of @rabbisacks passing before his time is that we will never hear his second Desert Island Discs (which was surely due) and we will never read his commentary on The Talmud. But we are thankful for his life and the enormity of what he gifted us.

As we mark Rabbi Sacks zt"l's first yahrzeit tonight, we recall a particular answer that he gave to a 1990 BBC Radio interview as part of the famous 'Desert Island Disc' series... May his memory be for a blessing for us all.

A moving and beautifully written piece by @Samfr recounting his near-death experience and how it's changed his outlook on life. With typical understatement and dark comedy thrown in for good measure. thetimes.co.uk/article/lesso…

Lessons from a near-death experience

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at ten years old. It’s a deeply unpleasant chronic condition that causes ulcers and inflammation in the digestive system. O
