The essence of the well-dressed woman is never to be exaggerated. Appearance is the first impression people get of you. And it does matter. It matters tremendously when you represent your country abroad.
I have bought about two suits a year since I have been here. In the last two years, the shoulders have been a little wider, the tops of the sleeves a little more important. That's the only sort of genuflection I make to fashion. When I don't know what to wear for a great occasion, I tend not to wear anything new.
When I addressed the United States Congress, for example, I wanted to wear something that was familiar, absolutely classic, that always looked good, and so I went straight for a light wool suit.

I am flabbergasted. This was yesterday Feb 19th. Instead of being solemn and broken, the people are using joy as moral resistance and celebration as defiance.
The #IranianRevolution2026 continues.
#IranMassacre
Feb 19
đ¨ BREAKING: Massive crowd gathered in Karaj to honor slain protester Reza Barani. Instead of mourning in silence, they are holding a special Iranian tradition held only for fallen heroes, before avenging them. The Lion and Sun Revolution is alive.
DONâT STOP TALKING ABOUT IRAN.

My late uncle Teddy Goldsmith was among the first @TheGreenParty candidates. I wonder how many former and current Green supporters out there are feeling as revolted as I am to see what was the only party of the environment ditching all that to cash in on rising sectarianism and virulent antisemitism in Britain?
The Greens, led by the ultimate âas-a-Jew I can confirm itâs fine to do in the Jewsâ @ZackPolanski (real name David Paulden), look increasingly like the new Blackshirts, organising door-knocking sessions to make lists of Jews and their friends.
Depressing af.

Socialism is a dangerous, but undeclared, enemy of freedomâand I do not just mean the socialist command economy but all those attitudes which socialism fosters: dependence, passivity, conformity, envy, lack of personal responsibility and lack of initiative.
The battle against socialism is more than the attempt to replace economic error by economic truth. It is a battle for moral and spiritual values. It is precisely socialism which promotes universal dependency on the State and the neglect of all primary duties.
In place of the culture of dependency we must emphasise the moral rightness of enterprise and the absolute value of responsibility.
We must encourage people to take charge of their own lives, and to live honestly and openly, fulfilling their duties and respecting the rights of others.

I thought we had a human rights lawyer for Prime Minister?
But we donât. We have a quisling. A pathetic little man who is desperate to evict a native population from their homeland because heâs embarrassed they like our flag.

Here is the full text of the British Indian Ocean Territory Removal Order served to the Chagos landing party today
Starmer is threatening Chagossians who oppose his deal with 3 years in prison
This is a terrible look for Labour and will only increase opposition to the deal

The BBC is letting itself be used as a propaganda outlet for Iranâs regime
Excellent piece by @DannyCohen former controller of BBC1.
âThis is why Iranian dissidents have used the acid phrase âAyatollah BBCâ. It is not because they imagine a secret love affair between Broadcasting House and the clerics. It is because they recognise an outcome: the worldâs most trusted broadcaster producing something that a theocratic, propaganda-driven regime could happily file under ânormal life continuesâ.
And why is this offensive and appalling? Because even now #IranMassacre is trending as it is still happening.

đŁď¸ She 'would be making a âmajor European speech"' in a couple of months' time.
đď¸ So Margaret Thatcher's office advised the British Embassy in Holland on this day, 18 February, in 1992.
đ 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street' covers the Hague speech in depth.
ALT A book cover featuring an image of Margaret Thatcher. It reads, 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street', Peter Just. There is a quote from Andrew Roberts, 'A joy to read'.

This last comment about Thatcher makes me think of a story my dad (a civil servant) told me. He was in a meeting in No 11 with Nigel Lawson, when the power went. Lawson suggested they move to No 10. A room was found and the meeting continued. Then there was a knock on the door, and Mrs Thatcher walked in, carrying a pot of tea with biscuits. As she poured the tea, she said, with a smile: âWhat sort of hostess would I be if I didnât offer you all a cup of tea?â
'There had never been a cabinet with so many Jewish men - me, Michael Howard, Leon Brittan. I wondered why, and the conclusion I came to is not that she had a thing for Jews, but that she was one of those rare politicians without the faintest whiff of antisemitism.
She had a protestant work ethic and felt that everybody should have the opportunity to make their own way by their own efforts, and that no one should stand in the way of people bettering themselves. So when groups appeared to have ancient privileges of one kind or another, she would go for them - such as the restrictive practices of the legal profession. She wasn't a class warrior.
One wouldn't say Margaret was totally humourless, but her sense of humour was not highly developed. She did once make me laugh. I showed her a new commemorative coin, and said approvingly at the head on the coin: "Ooh, she looks just like Rita Hayworth!" '

He tries to cancel elections,
cracks down on free speech,
censors social media,
wants to abolish juries,
smears journalists,
expels political opponents from the upper house of Parliament,
reintroduces blasphemy laws.
The most illiberal prime minister since Pitt the younger.

Labour isn't working
Feb 17
đ¨24% more people are out of work since Labour came to power.
Businesses are closing at the fastest rate since the world economic crash.
Rachel Reeves has taxed employers until the pips squeak - and this is the result. đ
Devastating.

I thought this Starmer-Merz photo might have been AI generated, but it isn't. It's such an unfortunate shot, which conveys so much. We radiated parity once, if not greatness.

You cancel elections. You remove opponents from the legislature. You demand compulsory ID cards. You jail people for saying the wrong thing. Now you crack down on independent media platforms. Whatâs next? Mass internments?

No social media platform should get a free pass when it comes to protecting our kids.
That's why I'm taking action.

It is still possible for a nation to be subjugated by a dominant, determined minority, bent on extinguishing the flame of freedom, in the name of some false but plausible slogan.
Prevention lies not only in the willingness of peoples to be vigilant in defence against tyranny; it consists of being prepared to live our lives together, in their becoming so enmeshed through trade and co-operation that to turn on one another would be unthinkable and impossible.

A history lesson in one's pocket. Beautiful coins which helped people do basic arithmetic - and so beloved that they were given affectionate names: coppers, thrupenny bits, tanners, bobs, florins etc. Decimalisation boosted inflation, too - everything was rounded up by retailers. It was an act of vandalism by the craven British state, along with the destruction of our traditional counties.
Feb 15
Fifty-five years ago #OTD we sundered ourselves from our fathers, replacing our handsome and ancient coinage with a decimal system.

This is pathetic. Youâre the Cabinet Office. The elite of the bureaucracy. At the heart of government. This is not just juvenile. Itâs factually wrong. We used to think the senior civil service a Rolls Royce. Youâre not even a Trabant now. For godâs sake grow up!!!
