A colleague of Edward Lucas at ‘The Economist’ is reputed to have commented, “Ed is known at the paper, as even he would admit, as a bit of a loon.”. His paranoid fantasies about Russia, his fevered calls for a new Cold War and his imprecations, called down on any country or politician daring to treat Russians with any degree of civility, would be amusing, if they did not find echoes within the American...

Commenting on the travails of George Osborne , he is not terribly concerned whether or not the Shadow Chancellor was attempting to solicit an illegal donation.
