Winter Paralympics 2026: Germans protest against Russia during medal ceremony German cross-country skiers turn their backs on the Russian gold medallists on the Winter Paralympics podium in protest against the nation's inclusion at the Games.

I think Craig Spence better look the difference between empathy and sympathy. Neither he nor the IPC are putting themselves in Ukraine’ athletes shoes.

The golden triangle: Can 3 top officials save the British establishment from itself? They run Keir Starmer’s office, the king’s business, and the civil service. In moments of crisis when the politicians can’t cope, they run Britain, too.

Donald Trump is not impossible to predict, Beijing now knows that Beijing now has a better gauge of Donald Trump's tolerance for economic pain, a crucial factor as they game the invasion of Taiwan.

BBC Charter Review Public Consultation The government is consulting the public to aid decision-making on the terms for the BBC Charter’s renewal and any changes needed to help the BBC to continue to serve the public.

I've just filled this in. Pls dear followers, take time to do so before 10th March. Future of #BBC+ #publicservicebroadcasting depends on proper, stable funds+placing guardrails to prevent populist right-wing attacks on BBC. Pls say BBC needs a permanent Charter,so it can't be easily dismantled. 1/

The 2nd episode of Keep It Grief podcast - in partnership with The Estate Registry UK - is a fascinating watch and listen.

X factor winner Matt Terry is the guest. He says he lost his identity on the show and was grieving himself and the loss of his gran in parallel. Grief comes in all forms.

The billionaire philanthropist making hundreds of Londoners homeless He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

Surely this isn’t a company that @london.gov.uk should be lauding in public? A) he moved to Abu Dhabi presumably to avoid UK taxes and B) his idea of helping the homeless is to help folk become homeless?? #criterion #homeless #mayor

This is such a shocking story. Why would South Yorkshire Police want to put parents through more trauma more than 30 years after the #Hillsborough Disaster, by refusing to make a statement in open court correcting the legal record.

Jeffrey Epstein Co-Owned Venture Fund with Palantir Founder as it Entered UK Government The Russian connected convicted sex trafficker co-owned a fund with Peter Thiel, now embedded in Britain’s most critical infrastructure with the help of Peter Mandelson

"If Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies him from holding power, why does the company controlled by Epstein's business partner and co-owner retain access to the UK's most sensitive national security infrastructure?"

Peter Thiel. Jeffrey Epstein. Palantir. The UK Government.
