There seemed to be a lot happening in this year, and it can't all be attributed to the quadrennial extra day; these are merely some of my own reflections on 2024
I always enjoy your writing. Glad to see that you’re finding it rewarding. Agree with you about reading. I used to be a vociferous reader now I struggle to finish books, particularly ones on current politics which just make me angry. We’re facing the biggest challenges of my lifetime with the weakest political class I can remember (and I go back a long way).
A heartfelt happy new year to you, Eliot. Thank you for a year of fine and sane writing.

The first Conservative writer I have enjoyed reading for a very very long time!
Thank you, I take that as a great compliment.
Thank you for a thoughtful, considered post – a very well-crafted way to see out 2024. Happy New Year!
And to you, and thank you.
With best wishes for 2025, Eliot, from Mallorca 🥂
And to you too! Enjoy the sunshine I hope you’re having (west London not so much).
