Good straightforward reporting from the Wall Street Journal on Musk's promotion of Restore/Rupert Low/civil war in the UK. Lots of detail, no polemics.

The BBC could and should do this. Why doesn't it?

Owen is frequently wrong. He does like to lecture us, doesn't he!

Blaming NATO for Putin is like blaming the UK for Netanyahu - it pleases a specific audience but is total BS

This is a poor take that suggests Owen Jones doesn't know much about Russia in the 1990s, including Russia-US or wider Russia-West relations in the 1990s. By giving only one part of the story, he is repeating the Russian political elite's self-serving line that it was all the West's fault. Long 🧵
The West helped create Vladimir Putin.

A senior Western diplomat warned in 1994 where capitalist 'shock therapy' would take Russia.

They ignored him - and ended his diplomatic career.

It’s the 50,000th attempt at getting a camera up my nose tomorrow and I have a terrible cold so praying to the ENT gods they can still do it and see whatever’s going on back there 🙏

Conclusion: the inside of my nose is swollen from allergies, and because of my broken nose it’s also quite deviated. So when it swells up, mucus gets trapped and becomes infected. It then drips down into my throat, spreading the infection and causing me to become severely ill. 🙃
