Thanks to Reynolds I can kiss goodbye to my job. The UK Government also must not value their Midlands seats, it will decimate the Midlands economy. We are the 3rd region for goods exports outside SE & London mostly through car manufacturing.

There is also a belief in the EU that the Department for Business does not want a reset, an institutional view along with the Home Office making Number 10's job harder. All a reminder that EU relations are very challenging and still not really under control.

This letter justifies even more my feelings that the Russian report should be made public by Burnham as well as undertaking police investigations into Party funding coming from Russia (yes it may include Labour so be it), it should go back a minimum of 15 years.

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.

Dobbiamo dire a Musk, come sta facendo Sikorski, noi siamo tuoi clienti per il Starlink se aiuti il nostro nemico (la Russia) ti sospendiamo il contratto. Banniamo X/Twitter, dazi su tutti i prodotti Tesla comprese le batterie. I 💰sono l’unica lingua che capiscono.

It seems very likely that the US has decided to facilitate Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians to try to force Ukraine to surrender. Betrayal. And if they can do that to Ukraine, they can do it to any ally. We should take note.

Man who enobled a KGB agent's son... despite SIS raising concerns... says what?
This is just not true. As soon as I became
foreign secretary I asked the security
services the same question and they
replied that there was no evidence of any
successful interference in the 2016
referendum, by Russia or any other power


Either the security services have changed
their view - which would be very odd - or
Burnham is lying about what he has been
told. After all Starmer was in power for two
years and had access to exactly the same
information.

All Burnham has to do is publish the full report without redactions and call his bluff, while he is at it, launch a full investigation on how much money the Tories and Farage in all his various Parties’ incarnation, have received from Russians - as we all know there are no good Russian oligarchs.
