Hello lovely subscribers! Once again, this Tuesday at 10 am GMT (30th December), there will be a paid subscriber-only Zoom chat featuring yours truly and Lorenzo Warby. The Zoom link you require is below the fold.

For those of you who are new subscribers, a brief background: because this substack is free, to reward paid subscribers for their support, we do periodic live-streamed Chatham House Rules chats.

This means no information from or quotation of—and this doesn’t just apply to Lorenzo or me—is to be attributed to any participant in the call, outside the call. We do not record the meetings and have deliberately set up the program to ensure everything disappears into the digital aether. We do not want any of our supporters sacked for “something they said on the internet” (this still happens reasonably regularly, by the way, thanks to partisans on both sides of the political aisle).

Because we haven’t done one of these for a while, we’re offering a 25 per cent discount on an annual subscription until midnight on December 31st. That said, given many of you are new, if you’re only willing to put your hand in your pocket for a month’s paid subscription to “suck it and see,” we fully understand!

Bonus Chilli the Cat pic for tax. Yes she really is that fluffy.
