The EU just officially removed Orban and Fico's ability to force €210B in Russia's frozen EU assets to be released by vetoing sanctions renewal.
They will now stay frozen and under EU control until after Russia pays post-war reparations to Ukraine, with no further votes needed.

Unebelievably, I am older than Nige Fartrage. I grew up with Alf Garnet, Love Thy Neighbour and Bernard Manning, on TV almost every night.
At no point then – or since – have I made "jokes" about gassing Jews or that black people are unworthy (or worse).
He was – and is – misogynist and racist.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

Keir Starmer today called it “utterly appalling” that a Reform UK councillor described children in care as “downright evil”.
This report by a Care Experienced writer reveals how that remark still reverberates in Cambridgeshire.

The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.
