This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?
Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.
This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

I think we would encourage a less polarised politics if, over this next generation, it got harder rather than easier to guess somebody’s party preferences from their ethnicity and faith alone. My “one nation test” for any party that aspires to govern is that no citizen should feel any tension between supporting that party and their colour or creed. For all of their diversity at the top table, the post-Cameron Conservatives risk going backwards again with black British and British Muslim citizens, in particular. Starmer’s challenge may be both to reconnect with British Muslims, beyond this conflict, and to rebuild trust with Britain’s Jews after Labour’s failures on anti-Semitism – seeing no contradiction between the two.
Is it getting harder or easier to guess somebody’s party preferences from their ethnicity + faith alone?
It might surprise most media commentators that it is in fact now harder to guess party vote from just having ethnicity/faith to go on in 2024-26 in Britain that at any point in last 50 years?
🦇 Bats do not make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to roost. Bats roost in houses, both new and old but some species prefer hollow trees, or caves. In buildings they often shelter behind hanging tiles and boarding or in roof spaces.

Important to seek clarity today on whether Home Office and No 10 will try to defend - or will now withdraw - a false+misleading claim applying settlement reforms to 2022-24 cohort saves £10bn
Not just overspinning lifetime saving in 30 years time
Gvt policy doesn't save maybe £8-10 billion of it!
Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.

What I will never understand is....Twitter was *never* a good gauge of public opinion! I genuinely cannot understand the people who have clearly been using it as a measure of something other than 'internal leadership contests' (where it was genuinely useful' or 'ways to discover cool links'.

Um Ayatollah Khamenei muss es einem ebenso wenig leid tun wie um Saddam Hussein oder Muammar Gadaffi. Ein totalitärer Massenmörder.
Aber die Bilanz von US-geführten Regimewechseln im Mittleren Osten ist bisher bescheiden. Aus brutalen Diktaturen wurden failed states. Oder wieder Diktaturen.

Margaret Thatcher and her good friend and paedophile Jimmy Savile.
"Paedophile defenders party..." - Kemi Badenoch 🤔
“Merz and his finance minister Lars Klingbeil are seeking greater oversight of the defence ministry and of procurement decisions …
They want to ensure that hundreds of billions of euros in debt-funded spending do not simply benefit groups such as Rheinmetall, …but also reach start-ups.”
Considered opinion of a few EU folk I've spoken with is that the UK has to have something to offer if it wants to be heard with regard to Made in Europe. And right now it doesn't. And worse, UK engagement brings back bad Brexit memories.

After a meeting of the Oil Coordination Group, the European Commission said the Adria pipeline has enough capacity to "fully cover" the annual needs of Hungary and Slovakia with non-Russian oil.
Croatia is looking into the possibility of carrying Russian oil, but no decision has been made yet.
UN General Assembly resolution in support of Ukraine adopted today. Out of all EU member states, only Hungary abstained... as did the US.

Any chance they can give planning permission for wind turbines all around the Hotel including the sea? He would love it.
Today's the perfect day to recognize the unbelievable bravery the Ukrainian people & leaders have displayed during the past four years. Would we be even half as brave in the same situation? I hope we never have to find out. And due to the Ukrainians and their sacrifice, we probably never will!
Because of course BVI is involved in some way. The unwillingness of Whitehall and Westminster to get a grip on Caribbean tax havens under UK oversight is one of the great systemic scandals of British politics
A three panel cartoon starring an octopus, a shark, and a jellyfish. In the first panel, the octopus says, "I ONCE SAW A HUMAN AND PEED MYSELF." In the second panel, the shark says, "A HUMAN SAW ME, AND HE PEED HIMSELF" In the last panel, the jellyfish says, "A HUMAN TOUCHED ME ONCE, AND HIS FRIEND PEED ON HIM." In response, the octopus says, "DUDE..." and the shark says,"WHAT?" Comic is watermarked by @wawawiwacomics
This always makes me laugh
Actually a horrible vision - or is it reality? - of how unrepresentative polls distort the political debate.
