Countdown now to the publication of Dr. Koop: The Many Lives of the Surgeon General!

This now bizarrely greets us as we get our passports checked for Eurostar in London. And do these chumps not actually know what omitting the hyphen means? https://t.co/uap5FuLjRc

Looks like a classic case. Can they be prosecuted? https://t.co/xYUMiFv8fP

I thought you might be interested to see this somewhat tongue-in-cheek oped in The Hill on Koop as an influencer - since Trump has nominated one such as SG! (PS - I hope you've read my Koop biography by now.)

Ouch. Here's my idea: Let's have schools. Maybe parents too?

Children's reading falls to all time low. The post-literate society is well on its way

Just in case you've yet to buy my biography of former US Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, plus copies for all your friends and neighbors, here's a reminder! "The definitive biography for decades to come," per historian Randall Balmer.

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

“You see, at first, when someone says, 'Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,' it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works – but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is: First, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So, soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying. Then the worst happens: Markets shrink and collapse; businesses and industries shut down; and millions of people lose their jobs.”

Trump just hired Marco Rubio to be his Secretary of State.

"If Russia wins, no state, and no border would feel secure. And the world would enter a new era of imperialist wars of conquest."

A brilliant piece in the Economist magazine from the author of “Sapiens” Yuval Noah Harari.

"China is now the main supporter of the Russian war effort, war aggression against Ukraine... And at the same time, they are trying to have a normal relationship with European allies. This cannot work in the long run" - Jens Stoltenberg.

[Nigel Cameron @nigelcameron]

Exactly. Like private healthcare, private schools subsidize the state. In fiscal terms it's voluntary taxation.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

No country in Europe taxes education. Independent schools lift burden from state sector and provide centres of excellence which, if arranged properly, are shared. Fees from wealthy are used for bursaries - so more redistribution. No one loses. https://t.co/18BpdIJqHr

To get Hungarian PM Orban to end his block on a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine, other EU leaders teamed up ahead of today’s summit to deliver a stark message: You're on your own this time.
