Keir Starmer’s “great achievement was to restore the Labour Party to government after 14 years in opposition,” Ian Leslie writes. “But this was made possible by a lack of conviction, which made him disastrously irresolute once he got there.”

If there is a genuine belief in a such an autonomous future then the changes would need to be far more radical than envisaged. The line between a paradigm shift in conceptualising maritime power and prevaricating on mustering the needed funding becomes porous.

Though present in his Angel;

To guide them in their

Behind them, while the
obdurate king pursues:

There was an AI generated story on FB today, showing an absolutely ripped male angel with long hair and chiselled cheekbones, wandering about in a diaphanous loin cloth. I've spent too long working on the internal logic for stories because all I could think about was: do angels go to the gym??
