This is how you greet a disgraced former prime minister who won't leave his office for fear of handcuffs. Now Joseph Muscat, just go. Everyone is telling you to. Lawyers, Pharmacists, taxmen, journalists of all shades including your former fans, militants of your own party. Everyone except the last remaining yes men you hired to [...]

Keith Schembri is expressly named in a document found in Yorgen Fenech's possession written by Melvin Theuma, the man pardoned by Joseph Muscat as a mastermind in the killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia. And yet, on Joseph Muscat's orders, Keith Schembri has already been exonerated by the police. This is a cover-up. Of a murder. [...]

He left Parliament through the basement, rushed out in the dark through a deserted ditch. Disgraced Joseph Muscat’s day of ignominy was represented best in the way he exited it like a rat abandoning a sinking ship. He planned his standard display of braggadocio. He scheduled a debate in Parliament to discuss the killing of [...]

As disgraced Joseph Muscat continues to squat the prime minister's office, Daphne's husband Peter and her sons Matthew, Andrew and Paul filed a judicial protest demanding Joseph Muscat to remove himself from the investigation into her mother's murder both in the criminal investigation and in the separate independent inquiry. The family recalled how Joseph Muscat's [...]

Last Saturday, 30 November, some remembered the 33rd anniversary of the Tal-Barrani incidents. The PN Opposition of the time called a meeting in Żejtun but the Labour government banned a PN gathering in a place it considered its own. The PN defied them and thugs used violence to block them access to Żejtun as the [...]

There are quite a few mourners for the disgraced Joseph Muscat's eventual departure from the prime minister's office. Some are quite funny actually but I'm hardly in the mood for jokes. Maybe I'll see the funny side when he actually leaves if he ever does. Castille is looking more and more like Hotel California. But [...]

The Chamber of Advocates has been reticent to speak out these past two years. I suppose caution and circumspection comes with the job. The present committee certainly cannot be accused of intuitively leaning towards the opposition. All these are reasons to take even more seriously their remarks. Here is their statement: “Prime Minister’s Position Is [...]

This is "Freedom" Square this morning just outside Parliament. I was in the room when Renzo Piano sketched with a green crayon his idea to lift the Parliament chamber on stilts so that an open square could be left underneath it. His idea was that Parliament should not be squatting in the space of the [...]

Last time I posted about this was April 2018. It's time to remind Joseph Muscat of his innocent idealistic youth. We saw some of those people locking up journalists in Castille. We saw some of that style in his "address to the nation" last night that reminded the older generation of the tension they felt [...]

This piece was published in Italian this morning in Carlo Bonini's La Repubblica. My translation of his article is published here on his request and with his permission. In Malta, the EU’s smallest country, at the end of a week that forever changed its history, the epilogue of the story that speaks not only to [...]

Konrad Mizzi is fully expecting to be rehabilitated back into cabinet, to continue to enjoy immunity from investigation, let alone prosecution and to continue to cash in from the corruption that was on his roadmap before he stepped into our lives to fuck us over with his now legendary "shame on you, minister". In this [...]
