Am now mostly off to Bluesky — don’t have time for both places and the chat over there seems more useful than here.
Do check this out from my friend and former Beijing colleague @CalumMacLeod3 — a lifelong lover of Central Asia and truly no finer guide to undiscovered corners of Uzbekistan.

I can barely believe this from you. And to think you used to portray yourself as the acceptable face of UKIP, as you figured Nigel Farage was too extreme. Shame on you for this blatant racism.

Thread on what Brexit might tell us about how US tariffs could impact investment. We saw 2 key impacts:

Dear British friends,I’m so sorry you left the #EU 5 years ago. I still don’t think #Brexit was a good idea but then and now I do respect the choice made. Now, more than ever,is time to minimise the losses of divorce & maximise the potential of friendship.
