Ukrainian war veteran Andrii Khomiak from the Zhytomyr region went to defend his homeland back in 2015.

When the Russian full-scale invasion began, he returned to the military, this time joining the 26th Brigade defending Kyiv⤵️

The lack of interest from the media in Fromage's murky finances and spivvy evasions (and before that in Boris Johnson's ever-iffy financial arrangements) contrasts rather strongly with their beady-eyed obsession with the finances of Labour politicians - especially female ones like Rayner and Reeves.
It’s really boring to have to keep asking Farage who bought his house, in what currency and why? It’s been 163 days and we still know zilch. How is he allowed to get away with this? How and why is he so Protected. Even Andrew Windsor’s protection came to an end!
Impressive indeed. I particularly liked them not ruling out a referendum on the royal family. 👍
You have got to find this impressive.

The Green Party polling second, nationally.
Ahead of Labour and the Tories.

Labour picked a fight with those that supported what they once were.
The Tories just picked a fight with everyone.
Neither the Tories or Labour have your back.
The Green Party SECOND in a national poll for the first time ever!

There’s no way we’re stopping there.
Wow! He definitely gets my vote!
Zack Polanski said the Green Party would be open to a Referendum on the Royal Family.

Do you want a Referendum so we can vote to get rid of this monstrosity?
Still, must be some comfort to know that their defeat was down to the media, and not their shite policies.
Sadly for Farage, being a decent orator isn't quite enough - you also need to say something worth listening to.
Farage is (by current UK political standards) a decent orator. But he still seems to find doing it in the Commons a bit tricky.

My garden in Provence is still mostly green, but those Autumn colours are starting to glow.
Interesting that even the far right sometimes apologise for racist remarks. But if this is what they really believe surely their racism is something they should be proud of.
Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

This is hilarious - Zack I never saw you as the next Donald Trump, but I do hope you keep playing the 'rampant egomaniac'.😂
Are the right ok?

This is next level of "journalistic* " slop.

All a surprise to those of us in Europe who thought the White House would be some sort of national monument and protected. But the president can just change it however they like? Is this possible?

Of course it is. But people are willing to accept a lower standard of living if it means being out of the EU.
