As The Herald launches a special series looking at Scotland and defence, David Pratt examines the increasingly dangerous geopolitical world in which we now live www.heraldscotland.com/news... @foreigncorr1.bsky.social

@foreigncorr1.bsky.social ..been a while since I corresponded David, and always value your inciteful reporting. I’m increasingly convinced that the next Trump strategy will be to trigger an event that will justify cancellation of the ‘Mid- Term’ elections, and wonder if you share my concerns?

Such a good column, once again, I reposted it. You really should have a column in the Guardian to educate a wider audience.

This is stomach churning... it really is time for global action not just against Israel but those doing its bidding and 'profiteering' from the suffering in Gaza. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today marks 24th anniversary of the assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud. A remarkable guerrilla leader I had the privilege of meeting both during his fight against the Soviet occupiers and later the Taliban. He was quite a character. Check out Sandy Gall’s book ‘Afghan Napoleon’

The Outsiders exhibition has now been installed at The Courtyard in Hereford, it’s essentially the same version that was displayed inside the Houses of Parliament, plus the case display and the art video. It’s a great venue and well worth a visit.

Not a bad balcony view- familiar as it is - from one of our favourite bolt holes in Paris. Thundery and rainy night earlier, but shaping up now for a decent day tomorrow with a few galleries to visit. Some business but also pleasure. Watch this space on the latter.
