🔴 This could have been funny, only if there wasn't such a dark side to it all. Here is a clip of Johnson from 2016 making a complete mockery of the influence of #oligarchs on the Conservative party and UK political system. Listen for yourself...

Max temp of 15.0C yesterday, 18 March 2022 here in Truro. Was the first day this year warmer than the 14.9C on 1 January 2022. Has there ever been a year where 1 Jan held the record as late as this? #temperature

It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to suspend @BBCNews operations in Russia until we assess impact of new laws which outlaw independent journalism. Thoughts with colleagues in Moscow whose voices cannot be silenced for long.

Usmanov’s palace won’t be seized (unlike his yacht in Germany) because there’s a whole concierge class, close to the Conservative Party, who are reliant on laundering dirty money, now sullied with Ukrainian blood.

Putin's war on Ukraine has entered its next phase, one of destruction and slaughter of civilians. It is also a part of Putin's World War, a war on the civilized world of international law, democracy, and any threat to his power, which he declared long ago. 1/13

Couldn’t be more timely. Can’t wait to listen to “Lord of Siberia” a deep dive into Lord Evgeny Lebedev of Siberia.
Paul Caruana Galizia@pcaruanagalizia3 Mar 2022
My investigation into how Evgeny Lebedev became a House of Lords member, against security services advice, shows his father is a Kremlin agent and offered to act as a backchannel between Boris and Putin over the Skripal poisonings. Producer: @gemmanewby. pod.fo/e/110207

PS To all officials and media: STOP CALLING PUTIN 'PRESIDENT'! He's a dictator. Words have power. He does not deserve a democratic title. Fuck your style guide. "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin".

I mean, fair play. When it comes to degrading a nation's economy and isolating it on the world stage, their credentials are unimpeachable.

We have taken decisive action. We will degrade the Russian economy and isolate Russia on the world stage. Putin must lose.

He is, perhaps inevitably, unsanctioned here & still in possession of two massive estates in England & the £700 million he got for his stake in Arsenal. But “we are leading the way” says Boris Johnson.

This was mine & @TownsendMark’s contribution to Lebedev files. After Russia deployed chemical weapon in Salisbury, Johnson skipped his security at NATO summit & went to Lebedev junior’s Italian villa. We established his father, the KGB agent, flew in too theguardian.com/media/2019/n…

Revealed: ex-KGB agent met Boris Johnson at Italian party

The key issue for policymakers is differentiating between what might be unfortunate-but-necessary in the short-term vs. not losing sight of longer-term net zero targets The two aren’t completely incompatible For energy this is a crisis, but it is a fossil fuel crisis
