Following Sir Winston Churchill’s death, his widow Clementine received many letters.
One particularly poignant,
“That he died is unimportant, for we must all pass away. That he lived is momentous to the destiny of all. He is not gone. He lives wherever men are free.”

This wonderful painting - 'Quiet Waters' by Winston Churchill - was loaned to @ChartwellNT for our 2026 season but, *due to popular demand*, the owners have kindly allowed us to extend its display and it will remain at Chartwell for the foreseeable future.
I am overjoyed that this wonderfully tranquil landscape, created around the time Winston Churchill bought Chartwell, will remain at his former home for the coming years.
We are hugely grateful to the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation for allowing us to continue to share this beautiful scene with the hundreds-of-thousands of visitors who come to Chartwell every year, and the The Beaverbrook Foundation for their continuing support of our work at the Churchills' former home. What a marvellous day! 🖼️🎩✌

The sacrifice of @HaleyforMI and the future of the Democrats. The party establishment will ensure that the Michigan congresswoman will pay with her future career for her decision to oppose the openly antisemitic @AbdulElSayed. I explain in @JNS_org. tinyurl.com/7z43c79y

Acabo de escuchar ahora en la televisión el concepto de “ética del engaño “ que viene a defender el poder de la mentira como arma de éxito de algunos gobernantes para controlar el relato y aferrarse al poder.
Yo creo que desde Maquiavelo todo está inventado en la acción política, pienso que la mentira va implícita en esta actividad.
Son días de ira e indignación por eso también son días de engaños y mentiras. El engaño formará parte de noticias y discursos creando trampas en la que todos podemos caer.
En su filmografía Ford es muy duro siempre contra los políticos, denunciando su naturaleza mentirosa.
En The Last Hurrah ó El Hombre que mató a Liberty Valance,Ford nos muestra la verdadera cara de la política pero también como el funcionamiento democrático debe tener vigilancia constante sobre ellos.

A chilling comparison. Schools for Jewish children in the UK need to be heavily guarded and secured against violent attack. No other schools in the UK need such protection.

Joe Robertshaw's longform interview of me about my new book 'Napoleon & His Marshals' really got into the nitty-gritty of the Emperor's relationship with his 26 marshals & prompted very interesting comments over who were overrated & underrated youtube.com/watch?v=kpAs0V3u… #Napoleon

AN Wilson's Spectator Books of the Year on my 'Napoleon & His Marshals': 'This is the chef d'oeuvre. I read it with absolute rapture and I know it will become one of my favourite books ... an unputdownable read. This is a major classic of history.' #Napoleon

His father had been a Jacobite forced to flee Scotland after the defeat of the Forty-Five. It's all in the book
