This is one I didn’t see coming: Under Putin, there will never be a real Ukraine peace-deal - The i Paper apple.news/Algbp9OGzS0C...
This is an indication of the kind of political consensus that can be built if Labour makes the right case for breaking its red lines: Uniting right wing concerns about defence & patriotism, left-wing demands for investment & independence from the US, and widely-shared commitments to Ukraine.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

This is a deeply disturbing situation for higher education in the #UK. The #Labour government could simply reverse the restrictions on international students bringing their dependents with them. This simple change could have an enormous impact easing finances for #UKHE qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...
