Daytime on Monday was one of the quietest days for a while in Ukraine.
But just before I planned to sleep, it all kicked off.
A very heavy bombardment on a Ukrainian port but also another Russian refinery being hit.

A new week starts with Day 1356 of Russia's genocidal war.
Ukraine continues to simultaneously struggle for power but causes fuel problems in Russia.
This is THE daily thread, with all the important news, fact checked, in one place, every single day - never missed one yet!

We need to ban X now in UK AND Europe. It is nothing more than a far right propoganda machine run by a blatant billionaire nazi simp trying to destabilise the west.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.
Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.

Farage is spewing his usual populist bullshit. If he wins, he will deport my wife who has been here (from Ukraine) for 16 years. Fuck Farage.
As well as the fantasy £234 bn, journalists should also be clear Farage's claims most new migrants don't work, and those who do are on low wages, are entirely false.
In fact, 1.8 million recent migrants are on payrolls (others will be self employed).

And yet if we could just stop buying Russian oil...
Moscow thinks it can keep its war going.
We are making sure it pays the price for it.
Today, we present our 19th sanctions package. Every sanction reduces the Kremlin’s ability to wage war.
We won’t stop putting pressure on Russia until it ends its war.

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of privatised water, rail, bus, energy and mail services, mostly foreign owned.
Investment neglected. Regulators useless.
Often little/no competition, captive customers fleeced,, more pushed into poverty.
Privatisation is one of the biggest scams.

I literally had the same conversation with my kids' school this morning. I'll be sending this off to them!
This morning on LBC, I spoke about the importance of balance. Children absolutely need need structure, yes, but also need warmth, reasonableness, & trust. I argue that over strict rules risk pushing pupils away & increasing exclusions. Listen here:

@fadeinpro.com is easily, and always was since its inception, the best, easiest to use and most reliable and cost-effective way of writing plays and screenplays. I swear by it and have for years. Final Draft is an expensive poor substitute.
Actually I hadn't checked the pricing of Other Screenwriting Software in a while, and I notice that now the regular price for an *upgrade* there is $129.99 USD, and even on sale it's more than...the cost of a new copy of Fade In, for which updates are free.
If you’re thinking of buying Final Draft… save a load of cash and buy Fade In instead. It’s a 5th of the price, upgrades are free forever, and it works so much better (and looks nicer):

I wonder how many other fascists will have had convenient last minute monologues from Kirk moments before the end.
Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."
