I’m absolutely convinced Trump gave Putin a green light for these deadly attacks on Ukraine-to pressure Ukraine into capitulation before November, then sell it to magafuckers as "another war he ended" #FckTrump #FckPutin

There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks.
Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard.
Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.

The British public has long known that Brexit has been a catastrophic mistake.

This week, the Prime Minister also admitted that Brexit has done "more harm than good" and put all the options for our future relationship with Europe on the table.

EU membership is the only option that makes sense.

🚨 Putin is already expanding his war by normalizing drone strikes in Moldova.

Due to the lack of a strong response to past tests, Russia is increasing frequency and types of drone strikes.

Expect one to "accidentally" hit something important soon, with Ukraine being blamed.

Putin’s battlefield “victory” is fiction.

He claims Russia seized 1,301 km² in September. ISW assesses Russia actually LOST 80.81 km².

When reality becomes inconvenient, the Kremlin simply invents a new one.

I am watching Question Time with a Tory describing financial red lights flashing and an excessive number of migrants in the Country as if they have not been in in Government recently and caused BREXIT. Luckily one man called her out without response other than an awkward grimace.

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching the largest conflict on the European continent since the Second World War.

The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia.

Russia chose to start it.

I'll remember Esther Rantzen for an interview printed in a magazine I read in the dentist's.
She was talking about grief and loneliness after the death of her husband.
Her comment that she had plenty of people to do something with but now had no-one to do nothing with struck me as really profound.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC?

We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax.

There should be a criminal investigation.

Trump's effort to rebrand AI as SI doesn't go far enough.
