More of my mutterings, picturings, and the usual bloggerings that rarely get clicked on in a world where nothing much matters unless you're an influencer with a sponsorship deal with a company selling healthy butter. Well, I ain't pimping healthy butter...

As I wrote in a piece about this a month ago, it's this kind of media engagement that will hurt Trump. @Scaramucci was the only advocate Trump had who appealed beyond the base. Now he's on the other side, he has a formidable enemy. Few deploy humour this well in a serious cause.

I like Rory Stewart but I think he's wrong here. Sandi Toksvig didn't say that bishops in the House of Lords enable a horrific theocracy. She said they have influence that isn't justified in an increasingly secular democracy. She's right. Increasingly hard to defend the HoL.
