Best of luck Keith, end of an era. Was brilliant working with you.
Personal news: my first day outside of the world of @ChathamHouse work. It’s been an amazing journey with the best people. My gratitude and thanks to you all. I’m taking a break.
In 1968, Sir Max Hastings watched shops burn along Roosevelt Road in Chicago, following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. He bore witness later to atrocities in Vietnam. Back then, it looked as if the U.S. was close to collapse. But it didn't trib.al/WNuwD9e

There are two types of people in the world: 1) People who look at Marcus Rashford's timeline & feel a combination of warmth, concern & gratitude. 2) People who look at Marcus Rashford's timeline & feel compelled to sneer about 'virtue signalling'. We're governed by the latter.

From my mum’s home town of #Derry, John Hume was a hero in our house - a champion of civil rights, tireless advocate of non-violence, seeker and builder of peace. What a legacy he leaves for us all to honour. Thoughts are with his family today.

Not just about iron ore. EV sector demand for other metals (esp copper) means AUS remains well positioned both with China and other markets.
China rescues Oz economy from Covid-19 collapse due to surging demand for iron ore in spite of a big diplomatic breakdown: but can it last as Beijing seeks to diversify? on.ft.com/3fI0uqa
