Really looking forward to this next week, especially for the opportunity to discuss @cjcmichel 's fantastic new book "American Kleptocracy" which lays out exactly how the US opened its arms to illicit finance and in doing so corroded its own democracy. https://twitter.com/FPCThinkTank/status/1466346401592455169

Finished Fiona Hill's remarkable book. It took an outsider from a UK coal town to see through the hot air since the West's Cold War victory and point out the alarming parallels between the ghost towns of the deindustrialised US, UK and Russia. https://brook.gs/2XFhndF

Haunting to read @Ben_H_Noble, +@JanMattiD, @m_lallouet 's book on Navalny. It's incisive on what made his organisation tick, dispels the Kremlin myths around the opposition leader and is all-too-immediate on the ruthless crackdown of this year. https://t.co/cp3MChxJyK

“The idea that [Prince Michael] can act in a way that is contrary to British foreign policy and the U.K. government’s approach is utterly reprehensible,” said @margarethodge.

When a book is so on the money that a bomb threat is called in while you're presenting it: @charles_clover's "Black Wind White Snow" delved into the rise of the Kremlin's ambition for a Eurasian empire and foretold Russia's war against Ukraine. https://t.co/KjTpa5s1N9

So proud to be even in the same line-up as Archie Brown whose message in the Human Factor — that dialogue must continue no matter what and of the importance of the role of individuals in that — is surely the most resonant for these times. Thank you @Pushkin_House. https://t.co/OM57V0Ww7M

"Mr. Biden’s aides are telling members of Congress they want to move to something akin to what they call “the Israel model,” which has a 10-year-long security commitment with the United States."
