Russia has bombed a school basically every single day this week, so for those people who say "if this was happening in Ukraine, it would be on the front pages every day", how many times have you seen that on the front page of even one of your national newspapers this week? Zero.

The people advocating for Ukraine to surrender its territory to Russia today are the same people that told Ukraine to surrender Crimea to Russia yesterday and the same people who will tell Ukraine to surrender Odesa tomorrow.

Logistically, if Kushner & Witkoff are still in Moscow at the time of writing this, there is next to no chance they can mathematically arrive in Kyiv by tomorrow morning unless they fly directly from Moscow, which would be an extraordinary thing to happen in and of itself.

Following on from 6 consecutive days of Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital, President Zelenskyy has issued a warning to Russian civil aviation that Kyiv is going to effectively close the skies over Russia with drone attacks.

A quick question for those people who insist Britain doesn't need to vastly increase defence spending. If a war were to break out in Europe tomorrow, how long do you think British forces could sustain a prolonged artillery engagement based on current stockpiles?

Journo request, is there anybody here that knows anyone affiliated with the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq? I would like to get in touch regarding a story I'm working on but all the official channels have gone cold for what should be obvious reasons.

As the CIA Director has left Moscow, I can only conclude his visit signals that US intelligence perceives the threat that Russia is seriously preparing for an armed confrontation with a NATO member to be substantial. We are perilously close to Article 5 territory now.

Ignore the silly criticism of his clothes, Andy Burnham’s first ever foreign visit as Prime Minister has gone down very well with Ukrainians. Foreign policy was Burnham’s weakness, but you wouldn’t know that if you were only judging by today’s performance. Proud of my PM today.

I read Antony Lloyd’s heartbreaking report from Russia’s attack on Kyiv yesterday and it is so stark, the impact of Trump’s decision to cut off patriots. So long as Kyiv can’t shoot down ballistics, Russia will keep murdering.

13 years since the huge Sarin attacks in Damascus. It's really hard to underestimate what a huge catalyst that was for a denialist network that has spent the last 13 years twisting themselves into knots to find ways to deny the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime.

Dear fellow UK journalists, we have been let down time & time again by the trade union created in our name. For a long time the NUJ has not been fit for purpose, it clearly does not value the freedom of the press, and membership simply doesn’t justify the annual fee.

The guy who opened fire at Comet Pizza because he'd cooked his brain online and believed they were a child sex trafficking hub was exactly as confident the people he was aiming at deserved it as Luigi Mangione, which is just one reason it's a bad idea to lionise vigilante murder.

saying this not as a dig to Paul but as a general point, but it does worry me that we've ended up in a world where the two options are seemingly "leftist bubble" or "oh hey the nazis are here" - surely we should be able to have a politically heterogenous platform with tight rules on hate speech etc?

This is how Restore Britain, sorry I mean Restoration, talks to working class northern Labour members in Red Wall seats who say they care about Ukraine. Do not under any circumstances vote for these charlatans for the Labour NEC.

If you are a supporter of Ukraine in the Labour Party, do not under any circumstances vote for the Restoration slate including Stella Tsantekidou for the NEC. They have made it very clear that they will not be reliable pro-Ukraine allies if elected.

Reminding people that the arguments Putin apologists made following Syria, Libya & Ukraine is that the regime-toppling were inorganic, illigitimate & entirely orchestrated by the West. If it were that easy, why is Iran not in a civil war now? Because it was always a lie.
