It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

Why are we not waging a relentless information war against Russia and fomenting rioting in the streets of St Petersburg and Moscow. We could and should be causing anarchy there with the aim of creating so much civilian unrest Putin falls and gets what’s coming to him. Instead, we let them attack us.

Reminder we get much of our oil and gas from abroad. Getting it locally is better. Taking out the ground, turning into liquid and sending to the UK to turn back into gas costs a lot more carbon than using local supplies.
