Has King Charles gone nuts on his Canada trip?

1 week ago | thespectator.com | Jonathan Miller

I like King Charles. I visited him at Windsor Castle recently as Mrs. Miller picked up a gong. The castle has been beautifully restored. It is full of treasures, looted from the Empire. There were no refreshments, only a porcelain water bowl for the service dog of one of the honorees. The King was charming, looking a little the worse for wear, perhaps. He graciously laughed at Mrs. M’s joke. He’s a thoughtful guy. A little odd, which is no bad thing.

Marine Le Pen has got to go

1 week ago | spectator.com.au | Jonathan Miller

It’s time for Marine Le Pen to quit and spend more time with her Bengal cats. More importantly, it’s time for the third of French voters who support her to face the reality that her programme is incoherent and unachievable. Her election to the presidency in 2027 would be a disaster for France and a missed opportunity to repair what ails the French republic.

Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron - the anatomy of a slap

1 week ago | thespectator.com | Jonathan Miller

Some are scandalized that Brigitte Macron was seen to slap her husband in the face as they prepared to disembark from the presidential Airbus, Cotam Unité, in Hanoi this week. Unité? Not so much. The Elysée is asking us to ignore the evidence and pretend it didn’t happen. Still others may say, someone had to. The slap was seen around the world or was it a shove, a roundhouse punch or just horsing around, disinformation spread by crazy people, as the President himself claims?

Could (bottled) Watergate sink Macron?

2 weeks ago | spectator.com.au | Jonathan Miller

History repeats itself. In the beginning there was Watergate and then one gate followed another: Camillagate, Partygate, Monicagate. Hundreds, thousands of gates. And now, it’s Watergate again, in France this time, as a wave of allegations about the cover up of a bottled water treatment scandal threatens to submerge President Emmanuel Macron.
