Russian "court" approved today Russia's censor RosComNadzor's fine imposed on @bellingcat for not branding itself "foreign agent". The fine is half a million rubles.

But here's my list (see the thread)

It is totally immoral that the Home Office is still applying normal visa restrictions to those fleeing Ukraine.
The Government must urgently provide a simple sanctuary route to the UK for all who need it. This is our moral duty.
