It is a magnificent irony that Brexit supporters are now almost entirely relying on the EU.

I'm sure former UN ambassador Abdallah Al-Mouallimi will be delighted to have been introduced, very crisply, as "Abdullah al Mussolini" by Justin Webb. Seriously, how does this man still have a six-figure job at the BBC? When he is not busy being biased, he is busy being useless.

Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote. Now this: “In a statement to MPs, Andy Burnham will argue it is time to "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good" and "the status quo is not good enough for Britain."”

Today, we hear exactly the same from Moscow and, unfortunately, more and more often in some of our capitals. Russia wants to dominate Ukraine, and we know that it will not stop there. Russia wants to reshape the security architecture in Europe.

Let's call it what it is. Russia wants to destroy the existing security architecture in Europe so that Russian dominance can return to what it was before 1989. We are preparing for various scenarios. We are investing heavily in our own defense.

Zelensky questioned Trump’s diesel deal with Russia: “Why didn’t America make a diesel supply deal with Ukraine? We decide whether fuel tankers move. We decide whether Russian oil refineries will operate.” He argued Russia’s proposed volumes are too small to move global prices. #Ukraine

For all Europeans the future lies in Brussels. Forget the nationalism of the past: - the wars - the endless rivalries between European powers - the racism and xenophobia of a past age. The EU is our common future. Either Europe acts as a unity an fights rogue states, or we will become irrelevant.

I just think it’s much less likely that JLM will win. But it’s true that, somehow, Putin manages to be seen as both the heir of the communist system and the champion of the modern far right—especially in France. Putin has achieved the anti-democratic, populist fusion.

It's important to recognise is that this *isn't* about the US getting "back" to business with Russia, because there's never been much US-Russia business of any kind beyond arms control. What the Trump admin is pushing for is an unprecedented alignment of the US with Russia.
