Andrii Melnyk, Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN,quoted a statement by Russian propagandist Solovyev: "When we are asked whether we should care about the people living in those [Ukrainian] cities, my answer is: Yes, we do. We are thinking about where to bury them."

“The political, strategic and economic momentum for a reversal of Brexit is growing” and ultimately, despite - and maybe partly because of - the idiotic Tory and Reform tantrums about it, it’s becoming unstoppable. Where there’s a will, there will be a way… giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Beyond the difficult technical negotiations involved in reversing Brexit, it is the bigger strategic question that really matters. Do both sides see a common interest in Britain rejoining the EU? If the answer to that is a clear yes - then it can and should happen.

I'm gobsmacked by ministers' failure to defend Burnham's claim about Russian interference in Brexit (and Tories' claim that he has no proof of it) when there were well-documented troll farms, funded by Russia, spewing out aggressive pro-Brexit attacks on social media at the time

In the last 24 hours, Trump’s DOJ raided Ilhan Omar’s home over paperwork her dad filed when she was a child, oil passed $107, Russia shredded Trump’s “ceasefire” within hours, and the MAGA hit job on Talarico imploded. And that’s just the start.

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.
