I had an exclusive interview with Everrati CEO in which he detailed the process of one of their iconic electric cars the Land Rover Series IIA. How remarkable it is that they’re able to keep its traditional design, but revitalise it with a modern interior. Read the article here👇🏼

This is rather comical.

When people ask Matt what he does for a living, he sometimes replies that he's a historian. Oh, they say, feigning mild interest, might I have read anything that you've written?

At which point he has to admit it's unlikely, unless they have a particular interest in Year 9 reports.

To be frank, Matt fell into being a history teacher. In three years at Durham, he became a master at speed-reading the introductions to books and writing semi-plagiarised essays while still mildly drunk at 4am.

Vicars and priests who are told about child sex abuse during confession will be exempt from new “mandatory reporting” laws.

Labour has been accused of creating an “indefensible loophole” by failing to include confession in the Crime and Policing Act, which is coming into force next year ⤵️

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

“Terror is merely justice, prompt, severe, and inflexible. It is therefore an emanation of virtue, and results from the application of democracy to the most pressing needs of the country.”

Israel's problem is not primarily one of influence. It is a problem of strategy.

No new public-diplomacy operation, influence unit or communications campaign — whether Bennett calls it "Unit 8300" or "Unit 83000" — can solve the fundamental challenge Israel faces in Washington and across the West.

For years, Israeli leaders have increasingly treated the country's deteriorating international standing as a communications problem. If younger Americans are turning against Israel, the argument goes, Israel must be losing the information war. If criticism spreads across universities and social media, Qatar must be financing it. If Israel's image deteriorates, the answer is better messaging.

There is certainly foreign influence in American politics, and Qatar's activities deserve scrutiny like those of any other state. But focusing on influence operations can become a convenient way to avoid a much harder question: What if much of the damage to Israel's standing is being caused by Israeli policy itself?

Israel currently has no convincing diplomatic endgame for either Gaza or the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Instead, its trajectory points toward recurring wars, permanent military control and an increasingly entrenched one-state reality.

That is not a messaging problem.
No communications strategy can indefinitely persuade Americans that a conflict has a political horizon when the government pursuing it offers none.

Israel risks misdiagnosing the problem. If policymakers convince themselves that international criticism is primarily the product of Qatari money, hostile algorithms or insufficient Israeli advocacy, the logical response will always be another influence campaign.

But, Israel's international position will not fundamentally improve until its strategy changes: until it can articulate a credible diplomatic objective, an alternative to perpetual war and a political future that does not simply lead toward permanent Israeli rule over millions of Palestinians. Public diplomacy can explain a strategy. It cannot substitute for one.

The question facing Israel is not how to persuade the world to accept its current trajectory. It is whether that trajectory serves Israel's own long-term security, democratic character and relationship with the United States.

Until Israeli leaders confront that question, blaming Qatar may be politically convenient. It will not solve Israel's problem.

💨Toyota’s new EV is in heavy competition with Tesla. I wonder what the brand has in store to deal with this.
