@timothy_stanley 3/3 I have no doubt you are conscious of what you are doing to deprogramme her but wonder if she realises it. She obviously likes and respects your undoubted intelligence. You will no doubt repudiate his politics but I see a Thomas Lionel Hodgkin. Keep up the good work, Tim!
@timothy_stanley
1/2 I have listened to and followed your work for a while. over the years I have come to admire you - rather grudgingly. I initially thought you a right-wing nut but you won me over in a R4 Moral Maze programme on race with how sane and sensible you came
across.
@timothy_stanley 2/3 I would typically not read or touch anything Telegraphy, but have found your podcast with Camilla compulsive. I particularly enjoy the calm way in which you educate and talk her out of her sometimes extreme positions.
@Alonso_GD@MouinRabbani@Alonso_GD@martinshawx - Hasan mentioned the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which Goodhall dismissed. I have never heard anyone bring up the Sobibor Uprising of October 1943. Any reason why?
@IainDale@afneil@BBCNewsnight@vicderbyshire The best bet for the soft left and Labour is Ed Milliband. Wes is too tainted with Mandelson; Yvette Cooper was appalling at the Home Office and is in the FCDO. Burnham peaked as Mayor of Manchester -itโs downhill from here on. Ed is the only one with real Treasury experience !
@williamnhutton It is good to see him reject Blairโs attempt to blame everything on a shift the left, and remind of him of the Global Financial Crisis a year after he left office, which failed to mention in his essay, and whose consequences the poor and working classes have lived with since
@DiffKnock Odergaad and Tosaard channelled many passes to Harvetz and he fluffed them all. Saka was average and wasted many chances too. Odergaad on the other hand was creative and purposeful always moving the ball forward. He was my number one followed closely by Declan Rice
@lewis_goodall Good pitch but thereโs something about this whole bye-election that feels like a stitch-up and it could really backfire on Burnham and the Labour Party, long term!
@glcarlstrom Is this going to hurt Iran? Is it going to make the situation any better? Why do people like you at the economist regurgitate such statements without any critique? Whatโs the point of repeating what the President wrote and which we can all read? Whatโs wrong with you?
@RichardHaass Now, will the UK, EU and Singapore condemn this as a violation of international law? And demand that the US reopens access for transit passage in seas that are thousands of miles away from US territory ?
@RichardHaass I am surprised that a man of your vast knowledge and experience believes this will resolve anything. Letโs game it out shall we: if Iran does not budge how long can the US hold? Will the US navy shoot, sink or seize ships that defy ? This can only invite the world to defy the US
@RnaudBertrand@BDHerzinger Did Lee Kuan Yew not oppose US withdrawal from Vietnam and begged then US president to stay - despite My Lai? He belonged to the Mearsheimer-Palmerstonian view of international relations. To position him as a selfless, principled advocate of international law is farcical
