Welcome to our latest edition. This week we consider: France’s refusal to join the diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in China; lost opportunities in the FCO over the evacuation of Kabul; how good money makes bad losers; the birth of pangolin diplomacy; the life of Gertrude Bell, ‘Queen of the Desert’; a Corbynista’s week; and of course a crossword from Boffles and cartoons from AGGro.
