Wrote yesterday about a Russian Mi-8 coming down in Voronezh, killing all three crew members. Turns out the Russians shot it down themselves. Again. An Su-35 mistook it for a drone.

I’m seriously worried about Lee Anderson MP. It’s been over 3 weeks since he has filmed himself fingering his meaty flaps. Has he: -Died? -Converted to Islam? -Turned vegan? -Had one of those stomach bugs that leads to what Dean our paperboy calls the “sharts?” -Lost his false teeth?🤔

In a matter of days Ukraine has retaken land on the frontline that it took Russia a year and tens of thousands of lives to occupy. Putin is on the back foot and desperate. Ukrainian intelligence says he’s now removed restrictions on the air campaign so they can target schools and hospitals.

US Ambassador to the EU has said that EU's push to favour its domestic arms industry is "alienating allies" and fragments the transatlantic defence industrial base. So the EU should therefore remain dependent on the US, which wants to destroy the EU and will not defend it if Russia attacks it.

We're repeatedly told that asylum seekers pose a threat to the good people of our country... Reading about the threatening and violent treatment of elderly and open minded locals in Crowborough I get the impression that the real threat comes from closer to home. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
On Facebook and other platforms, people
who are known to support the asylum
seekers have been threatened with acid
attacks, petrol bombs and rape. The dossier.
which has been seen by the Guardian, also
claims that several local businesses have
been threatened by far-right agitators, along
with a church where some asylum seekers
worship. One man was punched in the throat
after he held up a "Love Thy Neighbour"
sign, while an elderly couple were falsely
accused of supporting sex offenders. In yet
another case, a 92-year-old church volunteer
was reportedly woken at 3am for two nights
in a row by a man standing outside her
home, shining a torch through her window
and shouting abuse
