Trump may be a traitor to Ukraine and to the West, but Europe has aided and abetted his treason. My article in The Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/gift/b3ab675…

Europe isn’t being honest about its own Ukrainian betrayal

Trump may be a traitor to Western civilisation, but Ukraine’s continental neighbours are aiding his treason

“The story of Britain and Germany, as narrated by Rüger, suggests there will still be common ground on which to defend Western values.” 🦊 | ✍️ | @DanBJohnson thecritic.co.uk/issues/octob…

Reading these two excellent books, I could not help being distracted by the news from Germany.

Such a delight to chair wonderful talks by Tony Grafton and Joanna Weinberg at Sir Noel Malcolm's retirement at All Souls College last week. I love Noel's joy in this photo!

My father, the journalist and historian Paul Johnson, was also a prolific artist. Now his work is on show at the Chris Beetles Gallery in Mayfair. My piece for the Telegraph on writers who paint: telegraph.co.uk/gift/8a5f541…

Want to understand a great writer? Take a look at their art

A new Mayfair exhibition of my father Paul Johnson’s watercolours reveals how the late historian found daily solace through painting

Claire Lehmann @clairlemon examines the dark side of "Effective Altruism" and compares their AI doomerism to historical millenarian cults. None of this literally refutes their predictions but it adds insight to what many see as eccentric and unpersuasive lines of thinking. thedispatch.com/article/cath…

Why the Catholic Church Is AI Doom’s Most Formidable Foe

The church has some experience with millenarian cults.

Andy Burnham still plans to call a snap election, says Kemi Badenoch, but that doesn’t mean she should do a deal with Nigel Farage. She’s right. My article in the Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/gift/002830f…

Kemi is right to rule out any deal with Reform

Britain is waking up to the realisation that only Mrs Badenoch has done the hard work required to unleash our economy

My Sunday essay for the Telegraph appeared before the PM’s speech in Liverpool, but he did not address any of the issues raised here. telegraph.co.uk/gift/5c0d01c…

What’s left of Britain’s crumbling empire is up for grabs

Beset by foreign policy fiascos and threats from within, the UK has never looked weaker

I like Kemi because she has clear, unapologetic beliefs and policies, and she has created a team that actively supports each other & is willing to praise political opponents when they get things right. I bet Kemi Badenoch would win a snap general election telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09…

🇵🇱 Piszą o nas i piszą dobrze. The Telegraph: "Przyszłość Europy wygląda coraz bardziej po polsku. Połączenie siły gospodarczej i potęgi militarnej zapewniło temu krajowi znaczną władzę w Brukseli." Po latach "biednej Polski" znanej z powojennej narracji, kraj, który znikał z mapy, znosił okupację i sowiecką hegemonię, zajmuje dziś należne mu miejsce. Gospodarka wyprzedziła Szwecję i Belgię i jest już szóstą w UE :) telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08…

Europe’s future is looking increasingly Polish

A combination of economic strength and military power has given the country significant clout in Brussels
