The Russian money will run out at some point, but I fear that may be some time yet.

To add insult to injury, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard aren’t officially designated terrorists.
Sometimes I think the world’s gone mad, then I remember lots of countries remain sane - it’s just us and MAGAland !

HMS Dragon: UK to send Royal Navy warship to Cyprus, Starmer confirms The prime minister said the

Akrotiri airbase has got no air defences.
RAF Fairford hasn’t even got a fence all the way round and security is contracted out to ShitCo, so it was easy for the β€œterrorist” pacifist grannies of Palestine Action to break in.
What are our brilliant β€œGenerals” up to?

#Starmer has nothing to fear from the International Criminal Court at The Hague.
The Dutch treat you very fairly and their prison service is well run.
The sentence will pass comparatively quickly, and it’s not too far for the family to visit.

When the Revolutionary Guard retaliate by blowing up RAF Fairford it will be hard to prove it’s terrorism though. He’s designated Palestine Action’s pacifist grannies as a terrorist organisation but not the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Best get on with that!

Joe Docherty: Labour peer quit college role over β€˜inappropriate conduct’ The former education executive has been suspended by the party weeks after being sent to the House of Lords by Sir Keir Starmer

Does anyone in the #Starmer camp understand the meaning of due diligence?
Just asking the toadie you’re about to anoint if they’ve anything to hide doesn’t do it.
Wondering what tomorrow’s scandal will be?

Today is 1,462 days since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Twelve years since Russia’s invasion of Crimea, which many would say was when the war truly began. Years of Ukrainian endurance and resilience, defending Europe’s frontier.

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.
