He wouldn't be the first to follow along that path. Eric Goldman was seen as Dad's successor as WH professor-in-residence; @JeffShesol joined Clinton's staff after his book on RFK & LBJ caught the president's eye.


Meacham would also follow an even richer history of former journalists writing for presidents. Raymond Moley wrote for FDR even as he edited the magazine that became Newsweek (which Meacham himself later led). 2/

FDR's call for "bold persistent experimentation" came from a reporter's writing a speech for him in 1932 basically on a dare. 3/

Emmet Hughes helped Eisenhower while still a Time/Life employee. 4/

Ray Price and Pat Buchanan both came from newspaper backgrounds, as editorial writers. 5/

When you see something like this we need to investigate a little and join the dots.

This guy always pops up somewhere along the way, so what is the true agenda here? Who are the players?

And now we tie George Soros to Lord Malloch Brown and the Privy council. Soros has just made Malloch Brown head of his Open Society foundation.

I want to echo Ibrahim’s welcome for this engagement with Syrians by @AnnaMcMorrin and @WayneDavid_MP.

At the same time I am overwhelmed with how far we are from where we need to be.

I have such a flood of thoughts, it is hard to know where to


One difficulty is having too much to say. Another is that so many of my thoughts are by now steeped in bitterness.

I think it is very important to say that Labour’s problems on Syria don’t begin and end with Jeremy Corbyn and his associates.

There is too much bitterness on Twitter, but I think I need to write a little on mine here, and how it colours my view.

This year’s anniversary of the Srebrenica Massacre comes to mind. Labour leader Keir Starmer marked it here:

Inevitably some couldn’t help think of Corbyn’s record of siding with mass murderers.

The month after came the anniversary of the Ghouta Massacre. I don’t believe Starmer mentioned it. I don’t think @lisanandy said anything about it either.
Wonderfully refreshing
Lusk speaking about "the danger of Christians claiming privilege within the state and the persecution of Christians which that led to...
If you have a political system which gives privilege to Christians then that system have to define what a Christian is"


Paynter: "If Christians are pursuing political power, what ... they are essentially saying is that might makes right."

Lusk: 1/ "The basic problem w/a religious right is that it says that the state has been established by God to enforce law & all law has a religious basis."

Lusk: 2/ "And therefore whatever the state does must reflect a religious position. And therefore if there are diverse religious positions at work, then the inevitable result is that one will oppress the other."

Lusk: "To say we are post-Christian does not mean we are ex-Christian ... Although Christain belief is a small minority, certainly our culture, our values, our system- these are very much part of a Christian heritage and sensibility which is inherited."
