My piece on Mikhail #Bulgakov cultural legacy. Should his museum in Kyiv be closed on the grounds he wrote propaganda literature, including The White Guard? Or is he an enduring part of Ukrainian cultural space? https://t.co/0Fr1w0tjhF

As Zelenskiy goes to Washington at a pivotal moment in the war with #Russia, here's @WSJ review of #Invasion: "Gripping and often moving, the book is primarily journalistic but goes beyond mere reportage as Mr. Harding draws on his knowledge of the region" https://t.co/lQ71BbA4UN

Observer book of the week is my review of ‘And Then What?’ by Catherine Ashton - a colourful insider account of European diplomacy & a manifesto for international collaboration rather than alpha male Boris Johnson-style showboating https://t.co/E77HzQPbpt

Remember the #Russia report? Sixteen months on Boris Johnson's #Conservative government has done nothing to carry out its recommendations. It now turns out Kemi Badenoch - minister for 'levelling up' - hasn't read it, by her own admission https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2021-10-26/debates/9655c0be-2a92-42cd-86b3-9da0d4af504b/ElectionsBill(TwelfthSitting)#contribution-F9A3C52D-B8A5-4138-8B92-BEF70CD4ABA9
