From Acorns to Oaks: An Urgent Agenda to Rebuild Britain by Michael Heseltine

The Brexit Lie Has a Name — and the Men Who Told It Have Gone Very Quiet

Dr Marina Nani··1 min read

Anthony Seldon's 'The Brexit Effect' is the most serious reckoning with the Brexit decade yet published. It is also, conspicuously, missing the voice of the man who has said plainest what many now believe: that Brexit was a con and that the people who sold it should be held to account. When you read it alongside Michael Heseltine's 'From Acorns to Oaks', you can see the full picture: what was lost, who lost it, and what a different Britain could still become.

Regime Change

Regime Change- Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

Dr Marina Nani··1 min read

Haberman and Swan report that in the summer of 2025 the White House Situation Room, the secure complex from which a president once watched the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, was turned to a very different purpose. According to their account, the most senior officials in the government gathered there, in the room built for the gravest decisions of national security, not to weigh a threat to the country but to manage a political crisis over the Jeffrey Epstein files. The authors describe a facility meant to protect the nation used instead to protect one man's reputation. If the reporting holds, it is the book's argument made concrete, the machinery of the state quietly turned towards the interests of the person at its head.
