Former speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow leaves the Tories because they are “reactionary, populist, nationalistic and sometimes even xenophobic" and joins Labour. This is a massive blow to Boris Johnson. independent.co.uk/news/uk/pol…

"Lev Nussimbaum’s conversion to Islam appears to have saved his bacon, as it were, from the Nazis, whose murderous persecution drives did not include Muslims... Nussimbaum did not attempt to flee Europe during the war. Instead, he hid in plain sight." chronikler.com/reflections/mu…

Belief in a sinister, implausible cabal running the world reflects not only the credulity of the believer but also expresses a profound desire to find purpose in randomness and power in the self. It is similar to belief that Satan is working tirelessly to lead humanity astray.

NATO's intention to become carbon-neutral by 2050 has the whiff of greenwashing about it. It is non-binding and voluntary. The only way for NATO to become truly green is by downsizing its armies and engaging in fewer wars. bbc.com/news/world-574… twitter.com/PBarczak/statu…

On this day in 1815, Napoleon's army took its last stand against Wellington and Blücher's armies at #Waterloo. The still below is a reenactment of that famous, historic battle. pic.twitter.com/EsT3MI8SWN
