Die von Donald Trump, dem russischen Botschafter in Washington als Friedensplan kaschierte Unterwerfungsaufforderung der USA und Russlands an die Ukraine ist zugleich eine Kriegserklärung an Europa, denn mit diesem Papier endet wie damals mit dem Hitler-Stalin Pakt die regelbasierte Weltordnung.

Essential reading - and add to this the ongoing toll from both LongCovid and increased Covid-driven risks of cardiac events, shingles, early onset dementia - you name it.
The ongoing failure to ventilate indoor spaces and treat Covid as the airborne disease we know it is is just unforgiveable.

Our GP practice was trying to get masks from local DIY shops at the end of February 2020. It’s ludicrous that there are people trying to suggest that the criticism of Boris is due to hindsight

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Boris Johnson took 4 days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system
Thousands died.
Spent time walking his dog, riding motorcycle, hosting lunches/dinners.
He once said Covid was ‘nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’.
Will he be held to account,?

It's infuriating to see so much of the media give Kruger the same kid gloves treatment that Rees-Mogg used to get because he is posh and polite and able to wrap his bigotry in enough intellectual tissue paper to make it seem like a political philosophy rather than an expression of white supremacy.
Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.

‼️ Friends, this is very important. Please share to whoever this may concern, especially if you are in the United States.
Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

They're still talking about Europeans somehow persuading Trump to a position of sanity on Ukraine. When someone repeatedly demonstrates who they are, maybe you should believe them. Humiliating.

This is Zelenskyy's "if necessary for years, if necessary alone" moment.
A chapter in history that will be remembered both for the shame of Washington's betrayal, and for the dignity, bravery, defiance and resolve of the Ukrainian people in the face of it all.

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.
