Great reporting @lewisgoodall.com . This scandal is troubling on so many levels. And while the previous govt is clearly mostly to blame, the Healey waffle today very worrying too

For 2 years, 2 govts used a secret court to hide the truth: they put 100,000 Afghans at risk of death. They used constitutionally unprecedented methods to prevent reporting. My reflections on two years on this story and why it must ever happen again. goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/my-two-yea...

The government put 100,000 Afghans at risk of death. Then used the force of law in a constitutionally unprecedented way to prevent anyone finding out.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

9mins spent by one team taking goalkicks in a game - what a farce. Add in how long raya spends on ball in hand kicks. A couple of yellows might hurry him along. All contributes to why arsenal are so disliked at present
