Interrupting my break from Twitter (which I thoroughly recommend, by the way) to say this. Whether or not you would have voted for @PTIofficial, the treatment of @ImranKhanPTI shames a country that we like to think of as a close Commonwealth friend.
This is such a beautiful land. Time to put Twitter aside and look up from the screen.
For anyone who is interested, all my articles, speeches and videos are on my website. danielhannan.info
Lots of media angst about the fact that the Rightist bloc in Sweden's election contains the Sweden Democrats. None about the fact that the Leftist bloc contains a communist party (its youth bloc openly uses that word) which wants to scrap private property. Who are the extremists?
Maybe it would mollify Joe Biden if the PM called herself by her first and married names: Mary O’Leary.
No white men in any of the four top jobs in UK politics - something that simply could not happen in the current Labour or Lib Dem leaderships. D'you think Lefties might squint at the Tories and ask themselves whether positive discrimination is everything it's cracked up to be?
In some ways, Boris was Nietzsche’s “blond beast”, scorning conventional morality. In the puritanical mood that followed the lockdown, that was what brought him down. But he was also generous, brilliant, warm and incapable of malice. We might just miss him more than we think.
No PM since 1940 has taken over in harder times. The war and the spike in energy prices hit before the economy had begun to heal from the lockdowns. We have NHS backlogs, a diminished workforce and vast debts. All of us should wish @trussliz luck. Her successes will be Britain's.
On the left, the foreign smart-alecks, including Jeremy Corbyn, Bernie Sanders and Noam Chomsky, telling Chileans to ditch their constitution. On the right, why Chileans declined their advice, by 62% to 38%. Felicitaciones, Chile! 🇨🇱 #VamosARecuperarChile #RechazoPorChile
Consider the possibility - just the possibility - that inflation might soon peak. Commodity and shipping prices have begun to fall, and the measures taken in response to the energy crisis - more storage, power stations brought back into use etc - are starting to take effect.
Delighted to meet President @sandumaiamd, Moldova's clever and charming president, in Chișinău. Moldova faces a terrifying winter spike in energy costs as well as a security threat. But she is steering her brave little country toward peace and freedom. presedinte.md/rom/presa/sefa…
It is happening even earlier than expected. People who supported the lockdown have now backdated the moment that they changed their minds, and are retrospectively furious about policies they demanded at the time.

To my mind, this is one of the most beautiful autochromes ever taken: a study of artists on the banks of the Dordogne near Beaulieu in France. The light, colour & composition is a work of art in itself. It was taken in colour 98 years ago, in 1925, by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont.
Always fascinated by cases where language betrays history. Consider the aurochs. Its extinction was so startlingly recent that it has a Germanic name, *ūraz. This word survived all the way into Middle-English as oure. The word died out because the animal did.
