▪️ Russia seeks to undermine Europe's political support for Ukraine. "We must be ready for attempts at intimidation and further interference. We are likely to hear nuclear threats again," the BND chief added.

What a mess! “The resolution as voted yesterday goes against our agreed positions of the EGP and its Member Parties, therefore as EGP we unequivocally distance ourselves from it… we demand clarity from the leadership and parliamentary group of GPEW, to understand the official party policy.”

I believe it’s because GB News is registered as an entertainment channel. This is why politicians are allowed to host their own show. We know it’s not an entertainment channel, but this is a loophole.

Reform UK wants power. But the party is haemorrhaging the people it recruits, with councillors resigning, being suspended or quitting. Since May, 51 Reform UK councillors have abandoned the party. We are keeping track: bestforbritain.org/reform-uk-defect…

Starmer got rid of the hard left anti-semites in Labour, who then migrated to the Greens. The Greens need a leader as assertive as Starmer was in purging their party. I don't think Polanski is up to it, from what I've seen of him so far. But maybe he'll realise what's needed & deal with it.

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

Now the NYT tells you: "Someone gifted this article to you. You must allow us to harvest your email address to read it." Ur, no. Go away.

London’s thrilling underground network, 1961. “Visitors are always fascinated by the escalators, the brightly-lit stations, and the rush of the trains from the dark tunnels”. Artist: Robert Ayton (1961)
Passengers wait on a platform for a train that is approaching around an unlikely bend in the tracks. Some of the passengers are dressed formally with suits and bowler hats and some are looking very groovy.
