At 192, Jonathan the tortoise is the world’s oldest living land animal. He was hatched around 1832, and once met King George VI.
I recently visited Jonathan on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. Here’s my interview with the island’s senior vet Jonathan Hollins. His book Vet at the End of the Earth is available to buy here.

This made a lovely change from the gender wars and the battles against wokery in all its insane manifestations. It made me remember what ‘normal’ life could be like before performative virtue signalling organised itself into an authoritarian ideology. Just think of all the positive things we could be talking about if it wasn’t for all the nonsense. Thanks for the reminder of reality Andrew.
Did you go with Douglas Murray out of interest, Andrew? This week's Spectator features a column in which he mentions he went to the island with a group of friends.
