In case you missed it ...
Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding the half-hearted report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Knowing what we now know about Putin's weaponisation of social media, we need a public inquiry into Brexit.
There are an awful lot of people in the media and online who should be crawling under their rocks.

There seems to be a direct correlation between how badly Trump is doing and how often he abuses a reporter (invariably a woman) for asking a perfectly legitimate question.

Very good to meet Portuguese Ambassador to the EU, Pedro Costa Pereira. We discussed how stronger European competitiveness can help deliver the capabilities and industrial capacity needed for our collective defence and security.
Meghan Markle releases a statement in relation to “sickening” allegations made to the police about her father Thomas Markle. She says, she has kept her own children away from him for their “safety and protection”
The Duchess of Sussex has released a statement.
This is the reason she cut him off.

This is the great irony of British privatisation. We were told the state should not own strategic infrastructure.
So we sold it.
Then foreign states, sovereign wealth funds and state-linked companies bought stakes in the very assets we had decided our own state should not own.
Chinese investors have held stakes in Heathrow and Thames Water. Chinese-linked companies bought major utility assets and became involved in UK nuclear power.
So perhaps the question was never:
“State ownership or private ownership?”
It was: whose state owns it, who gets the returns, and whose national interest is ultimately being served?
Britain did not abolish state ownership, it simply outsourced it.
