By stripping the context from a story about Ukrainian corruption, the New York Times gave the Kremlin the one thing it can’t manufacture: credibility.

UKRAINE IS SHOOTING DOWN BALLISTC MISSILES BUT FOR HOW LONG Ukraine shot down 5 ballistic missiles in the past few days showing they do have some Patriots - but how many nobody knows and how long they can keep it up is uncertain. But it does show you that when they have them they’re effective.

Britain left the EU – but British exceptionalism never went away. Rejoining is still discussed in terms of what special terms might win enough support. Niall Ó Conghaile argues that misses something fundamental: it isn’t all about Britain. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @nialloconghaile.bsky.social
