"The adjustments we're seeing... are largely consistent with our vision," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in an interview published by Russia's state news agency Tass on Sunday. Of course it's largely consistent with your vision. It probably IS your vision. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“A steak is not just a shape,” Imart told POLITICO in an interview last month. “People have eaten meat since the Neolithic. These names carry heritage. They belong to farmers.” No they don't belong to farmers. Sorry to burst your sepia coloured bubble. www.politico.eu/article/paul...

It’s really simple… - Cap all political donations - Ban foreign donations - Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties - No titles, honours or peerages for donors - No govt contracts for donors - Publish every donation/lobby meeting …that’ll do it.

History repeats.

Said goodbye to a beautiful stray cat last night. Lived with us for over 4 years but still enjoyed their freedom. Brought them inside, placed them on their favourite cosy chair, covered them with their blanket, and stayed with them until they passed. Wanted them to know they were not alone 😢💔

A moment of quiet reflection...💭 #caturday #cat #blackcat
