Today’s “Word of the Day” is thrall and it is a noun meaning “control, grip, power, clutches, hands, (“in thrall to” is a formal usage and it means that one is completely overpowered/influenced/controlled by someone or something)”.
Example Sentence: However, can European politicians rise to the occasion and take the necessary action to curb Putin? Looking at British politics, I can only see the unlikelihood of the necessary pan-European action being taken. At present, our politics is dominated by an insular, Europhobic Conservative party and government in thrall to the City of London and Russian money. Not the politicians capable of leading, or being part of, an effective collaborative effort to restrain Russia.
