Long piece by @JamesMills1984 reflecting on Labour's mistakes.

Awful.

Not really fair to look at old SF as a literal prediction of the future - but interesting all the same!

What will change next year? My @APCOWorldwide colleagues @ConstantinidesA, @TsBullard, and Bruce Fu reflect.

Everyone will be watching the USA, and many will be watching Israel. But don’t forget Iran, North Macedonia, New Zealand and Chuuk.

An article which looks at @iannmcdonald’s fiction through my own non-fiction. @jfennellauthor is also cited.

How I made @ECthetwit cry. Lovely piece. (Written in April, but i only just found it.)

@StephenFarryMP speaks.

Hooray! @JulietEMcKenna’s lost story of how the Doctor met Dickens, restored to us by @Paul_Cornell!

@TConnellyRTE on form again.

Pithy summary from my @APOWorldwide @UKPoliticalNews colleague @balgailani.

I stood in North Belfast in 1996. All three of this year’s candidates will do better tHan I did...

An incredible story.

Tremendous piece from @praveenswami.

A somewhat brutal action film, notable for EU watchers because the Maltese policewoman is played by Helena Dalli, now the EU's new Commissioner for Gender Equality.

Worrying research from NATO.

Good piece from Romanian MEP @clotilde_armand.

Brilliant interview with the great @floellabenjamin.

The Brexit report from the frontier of the Roman Empire.

Very interesting. Would like to see a similar map for the EU.

I had missed this interesting piece from @Tom_deWaal - Mehdiyev out of government, @IlgarMammadov out of jail and speaking freely.

A moving note about the poetry of Clive James' final years.

Lovely from @tracey_thorn (of Everything but the Girl).

Jaw-dropping story. 52% of US ambassadors are now political appointees, the highest ever.

@paulayataylor is in despair.

Great piece by @praveenswami, mainly about (lack of) evidence for deterrent effect of capital punishment.

“with Brexit, we’ve just seen the complete collapse of Westminster democracy as we know it.”

This is getting one of my Hugo nomination votes.

On the map.

A chilling interview with one of Trump’s targets.
