All thanks to the tireless work of @peterjukes.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social who were ignored for years, and in Carole’s case hounded through the courts for years. I’m glad the PM is at last speaking the truth; but the real heroes surely deserve a Pulitzer!

It's remarkable that the most vocal PATRIOTS are usually the ones taking Russian money to damage their own country. There really should be a public enquiry into it all, but Putin would probably buy the result he wanted

"Andy Burnham has said UK authorities are 'clear' that there was Russian interference in the Brexit vote" No wonder all parliamentary inquiries were blocked by the Brexiters in power. The sordid bribes, the blatant crimes, the dishonest cover up. Can we use the "traitor" word yet? #RejoinEU.

"Christian nationalism" in the UK is essentially a post-religious identity. Unlike the evangelical right in the US, it has no theological content, does not require belief in God & demands no moral or religious commitment. It reduces Christianity to a cultural "heritage" to be "defended" from Islam

“ABC pulling the story only made it a bigger story. Certainly not what Don Jr. or the WH were going for. And ABC doesn’t look great, either. All of which underscores the need for news that is neither owned nor leveraged by this White House— a commodity vanishingly rare in today’s media environment.”

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

Greens must avoid ‘capture by extremists and racists’, says party MP
Ellie Chowns says vote for ‘Zionism is racism’ policy by 0.4% of members shows party processes are not working A Green Party MP has said she wants to make sure her party is not “vulnerable to capture by extremists and racists” amid the continuing fallout from the “Zionism is racism” vote. The party faces a political maelstrom over its policy decision last week to treat Zionism, the movement for a Jewish state, as any other form of racism, and to back a single Palestinian state over a two-state solution. The motion was passed at the annual party conference with just over 1,000 votes, approximately 0.4% of the total membership. Continue reading...
