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.

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

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 Liz Truss luck. Her successes will be Britain's.

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 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?

God Save the King.

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?

This is such a beautiful land. Time to put Twitter aside and look up from the screen.

If Khan’s name is allowed to go forward, I shall be voting for him. Not as a way of putting pressure on Pakistan to release him – though I hope his victory would also have that effect – but because I believe he would make a first-rate Chancellor. zeteo.com/p/why-imran-kh…

Khan, the first Chancellor from another Commonwealth country, would reflect Oxford’s status as, not just a global university, but the global university. We need someone with charisma, grit and a commitment to the truth. An all-rounder, if you like. zeteo.com/p/why-imran-kh…

Every crime for the next four years will trigger memories of early-release prisoners spraying champagne over themselves and promising to vote Labour. We haven’t realised it yet, but Starmer’s downfall began last week.

The point that ⁦Daniel Hannan⁩ makes here most be made over and over again: If liberal parties fail to keep law and order, people will turn to illiberal parties to do the job. The first job of government is the physical security of the people. washingtonexaminer.com/magazine-colum…

How is it, then, that we have grown faster than the eurozone?

Burke's Irishness helped him avoid two errors common among English observers when the French Revolution began: 1. It couldn't happen here. 2. No bad thing if papists are cut down to size. The great Irish vate foresaw, years before anyone else, the abominations that must follow.

If Italy can return migrant boats to Libya, why can't Britain return them to France? The EU applies one maritime interception policy in the Mediterranean, and a very different one in the Channel. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
