The government has changed its position on Russian participation in the Olympics but refuses to acknowledge this publicly. A grubby behind the scenes deal which betrays Ukraine. Important piece by @matthewsyed. thetimes.co.uk/sport/athletic…
Why won’t sports minister explain insulting U-turn over Russians? Column by @matthewsyed thetimes.co.uk/article/b83d50…
Anson says ‘it’s time to move on from that debate’ re participation of Russian athletes in Paris. Yeah? When the illegal war continues? The government and the BOA’s decision to fall into line with Bach and the IOC is becoming more troubling by the day.

A fantastic description of this process by @JeffBezos on the excellent @lexfridman podcast (along with insights on exercise, being productive, mortality and the nature of time)

The storm is gathering, and Europe is still dithering on defending itself thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0… Excellent (and sobering) as always from @matthewsyed
Great read from today's Synday Times by @matthewsyed “And what of our foreign secretary? Oh, to have been a fly on the wall during the meeting at Mar-a-Lago last week as Lord Cameron sought to sagely explain to Trump why America should “step up” in Ukraine. This is the man who…
We are geopolitical inches from war in Europe "We spar over health, education and justice, but this is performative self-indulgence if the state delivering these services is unable to defend itself from aggression" Wisdom from Matthew Syed thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
Powerful and sober words @matthewsyed @thetimes today! The storm is gathering, and Europe is still dithering on defending itself thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…
What do Americans hear when European leaders sagely warn them to spend more on Ukraine and common defence? They hear the hypocrisy of a continent of freeriders and fantasists Column on the risk of global war thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
Devastating analysis of fantasy British foreign policy by @matthewsyed in @thetimes today. I couldn’t put it better myself (though I’ve tried); this is as good as it gets.
Spot-on by @matthewsyed "There is a ground war in Europe; China threatens Taiwan; ...Iran launched an unprecedented drone attack on Israel...We are a few geopolitical inches from a Third World War" The storm is gathering, and Europe is still dithering thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
Wow. @matthewsyed fires on all cylinders.Powerful piece: Britain backing Russians at Olympics. UK sports minister, sends private letter to the Int. Olympic Committee supporting involvement of Russians in 2024 Paris Games, a reversal of UK policy. thetimes.co.uk/article/644a04…

Meetings at Amazon begin with a ‘golden silence’ - 30 minutes where the team read a six page memo that summarises the main agenda items This has two big benefits… As described in the excellent Rebel Ideas by @matthewsyed
.@matthewsyed is right. thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
The storm is gathering, and Europe is still dithering on defending itself thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…. “A few geopolitical inches from war”. An excellent piece by @matthewsyed Syed in The Times. It feels like the beginning of something that we are sleep walking into
The storm is gathering, and Europe is still dithering on defending itself “We spar over health, education & justice, but this is performative self-indulgence if the state delivering these services is unable to defend itself” @matthewsyed thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
If you read one thing in the papers today it should be @matthewsyed on why Europe must wake up to the gathering storm #Ukraine #Taiwan #IranAttack thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…
Strikingly powerful read courtesy of the excellent @matthewsyed. “When it comes to political debate, we spar over health, education and justice, but this is performative self-indulgence if the state…is unable to defend itself from aggression.” thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
The responsibility to be this era’s ‘Churchill’ will very likely fall to @Keir_Starmer His commitment this week to defence spending was limp at best. As @matthewsyed states, the storm is gathering and it’s time to wake up. thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…
Fantastic article that gets straight to the point from @matthewsyed 👏 thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…
"One looks around in vain for this era’s Churchill, for the man or woman who can explain to the western world that it is only by pulling hard, & pulling together, that we can win against tyrants who wish to destroy human rights," Brilliant by @matthewsyed thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…

@fharris2011 @matthewsyed Brilliant article in today’s Times Matthew 🙏🏽
Excellent piece in @thetimes regarding our precarious defence position . I particularly liked @matthewsyed's comments regarding Cameron, who began his term of office by removing the RAF/ RN Harrier Force from our defence equation.......utter madness. thetimes.co.uk/article/2646c0…
Time for Europe to step up to its defence responsibilities. Our democratic systems are failing to keep us safe. @matthewsyed gives us an important warning
What do Americans hear when European leaders sagely warn them to spend more on Ukraine and common defence? They hear the hypocrisy of a continent of freeriders and fantasists Column on the risk of global war thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
I agree 100% with this by @matthewsyed .... we've been led by complacent politicians for far too long .... all presentation and little substance thetimes.co.uk/article/europe…
@matthewsyed Outstanding article, and so true in relation to Angela Merkel and the egregious Lord Cameron - no politician has done more damage to this country in the last 50 years
