She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her

Donald Trump is threatening to cripple Ukraine in its survival—and to expose Europe to Russian aggression—seemingly for the pitiful prize of minimising his losses in next month’s midterm elections economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

Bob Marley playing football in Battersea Park, London, during the mid-1970s.
Football was one of Marley’s biggest passions and he would regularly play whenever he got the chance.

Excellent work from @TerrorismPolice and @CPSUK in bringing a proxy for an Iranian-backed organised crime group to justice.
This sends a clear warning to those willing to commit crimes for money in this country: there will be very severe consequences.

How has the world come to this?
As Ian Dunt put it:
"Neither the US government nor a tech billionaire should be able to dictate the fortunes of a European war. This was another sign, if one was needed, that Europe urgently needs to develop its own alternatives."

Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.
We really are being taken for mugs.

The United States of America, everyone
Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband.
Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power.

“Reform UK said there was no room for racists in the party.” But they were urgently working on creating more space for keen, new racists as soon as possible… #r4today

Listening to #RobertJenrick on #Today
He’s removed every trace of what little integrity & decency he had, in ruthless pursuit of his personal ambition

There must be no hiding place for those seeking to launder dirty money on our high streets.
Through #OpMachinize, we’re stepping up the fight against organised crime. My thanks to the @NCA_UK and all those working to put criminal bosses behind bars and protect our high streets.
Our high streets should work for legitimate businesses, not criminals.
As part of #OpMachinize, an NCA-led crackdown on money laundering, every UK police force, along with Immigration Enforcement, Trading Standards, HMRC and Companies House are all working together to tackle crime hiding behind shop fronts.
Some high street businesses can be exploited to disguise criminal profits as legitimate earnings. This operation is about protecting our communities and our high streets from that exploitation.

🚨 Goldman Sachs has put numbers on Brexit choices.
Current Brexit deal: +0.3% GDP
Customs union: +1%
Single Market: up to +5%
Full EU membership: up to +6%
And Goldman estimates the UK economy is already around 6% smaller than its counterfactual path since the 2016 referendum.
Non wonder the debate is changing. The further Britain moves back towards Europe, the larger the potential economic dividend.
Brexit was sold as a growth strategy, but now 10 years later, the growth strategy is undoing Brexit asap.

Reform say there is ‘no room for racism’ in the party, as it’s now pretty much full up.

The West is waking up to a simple fact: MAGA chose Russia.
For eighty years, Americans knew Moscow was the adversary. Truman knew it. Kennedy knew it. Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire. American soldiers prepared to stop Russian armour in Europe, taxpayers financed NATO, and intelligence officers spent careers penetrating the Kremlin.
Russia never changed. It invaded Georgia, seized Crimea, poisoned opponents, interfered in Western elections, attacked Western institutions, and launched the largest war in Europe since 1945.
What changed was part of America.
Trump spent years shouting “Russia, Russia, Russia” and “hoax”. It was never a hoax. Russian interference was real. The campaign to weaken NATO, divide America, discredit institutions and separate the US from Europe was real.
The Kremlin failed to break the West from outside. MAGA started helping from within.
So congratulations, Russia. You lost the Cold War, then found Americans willing to attack the alliance that defeated you and call it patriotism.
Quite a victory.

Trump is lying again. Putin started the war and has repeatedly refused to negotiate to end it. The US spent nothing like $350 billion. Half the money is not missing. Washington and Moscow are both significantly more corrupt than Kyiv. Putin, not Zelensky, is a dictator who openly steals elections.
