President Zelensky announced that the first of 150 Swedish Gripen fighter jets will arrive in Ukraine next year. He called the deal a historic step, saying the jets will form a crucial part of Ukraine’s new Air Force and its long-term security guarantees.

Tickets for Reform’s UK’s Welsh victory event are still available to buy online with Caerphilly by-election candidate Llŷr Powell booked as a guest speaker along with Lee Anderson who was active throughout the party’s failed campaign.

Reform members will have reserved seating in the front rows and eat a three-course meal in the company of the former Conservative Party deputy chairman if they buy VIP tickets for £75 each.

Details of the “exclusive” Countdown to Victory event on Saturday (October 25) at Bryn Meadows in Caerphilly were sent out to Reform members several weeks before the by-election took place on October 23.

Why are the media focusing on *Nigel Farage’s* reaction to Hadush Kebatu’s mistaken release (which I agree is astonishing) instead of raising concerns about the impact this will have on race relations, and the vulnerability of any person of colour who resembles Kebatu? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade.

It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history.

Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

Reform council in Nottingham decide that the best way to save money is to spend £75,000 on... flags. Still, I'm sure they can cut social care of children's services to make up for it.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Jared Kushner is not a "top US envoy." He is the son-in-law & business partner of the president. He holds no position in the US government, & this is wildly illegal & unconstitutional & a massive financial conflict of interest that would have ended any presidency prior to this One Special Boy.
