In 2016, Britons transferred a huge amount of power from Brussels to London, & the UK's political elite - both its politicians & its civil servants - has been singularly & depressingly unable to cope.

Christopher Hope, Telegraph politics, asking what the point of the Conservatives is.

Reading - an update

So, back in the beginning of the month I told you guys that I’m reading White Boy Running by Christpher Hope. I’m making slow progress (I read it mostly in public transportation which I seldomly use).

But in the meantime I’ve finished Paris for One by JoJo Moyes. I’ve wanted to read something of Moyes for a long time and finally got around to do it. An all though I have a somewhat strained relationship with romance books, this was actually really sweet. If you need a quick read and like romance this might be the book for you.

I read this book on my Liteary Grand Tour of the World. According to the point system featured here this grants me two points. I now have 6 points in total.
