Eve Barlow is a kick-ass Scottish writer who knows rock and roll and culture and is fearless. She's also Jewish. Someone sent her my book, The Hidden Hand. I have now read her reaction. "You must buy" it, she says. I am honoured by that - but most of all, I am grateful that Eve Barlow exists and is relentlessly fighting back against hate and division and fear, every single day.

Of the many nice things said about Lloyd Robertson in recent days, a longtime Conservative strategist had the very best take on the legendary TV news anchor: "I don't know how he voted."

TRUMP ANNOUNCES GAZA BREAKTHROUGH - that was CNN. TRUMP CLAIMS HAMAS HAS AGREED TO DISARMAMENT DEAL IN GAZA - that one, the New York Times. TRUMP SAYS HAMAS AGREED TO NEXT PHASE OF GAZA PEACE DEAL - CBS News. TRUMP ANNOUNCES HAMAS DISARMAMENT DEAL - NBC News. So went Friday’s front pages, or the tops of major news websites.
