Putin is at an impasse. He is losing the economic war faster than he is gaining military advantage in Ukraine. Russia's summer offensive failed—the occupying army lost 800 men a day, but the Kremlin did not manage to break through the Ukrainian defenses.

Labour MPs have expressed relief and cautious optimism about the Gaza ceasefire Emily Thornberry, chair of the foreign affairs committee, said "there must now be movement on a political agreement on the future of Gaza — which means agreeing a path towards a state for the people of Palestine"

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

🇵🇱🇪🇺 Europe must realize that it is already at war, — Tusk The biggest and most important task of our leaders today is to make other people, the entire Western, transatlantic community, realize: this is a war. We did not want this, it is sometimes strange — a new type of war, but still a war.

Bulgaria is backing an EU plan to end Russian gas exports to the bloc by late-2027, the country's top energy official has said. The move will effectively cut off pipeline supplies from Moscow to Hungary and Slovakia.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

W/h 99,9% of votes counted (2272 of 2274 voting stations) it seems it seems that Moldova 🇲🇩 will continue its careful balancing act away from Kremlin. W/h a 52,19% voting presence the elections mark the victory of pro-European PAS (50,16%) ahead of pro-Kremlin Blocul patriotic (24,19%). 1/

Moldova 🇦🇩 Moldova’s pro-EU party wins election hit by Russian interference claims The governing party decisively victorious in parliamentary election widely viewed as a choice between 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇷🇺 Russia. #Moldova #Russia www.google.com/amp/s/www.al...

Farage is applying for a job. That job is Prime Minister. The only thing on his CV is Brexit. He campaigned for it for 27 years. So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS. If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

Reminder

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The Hillsborough Law is a transformative moment for our country. Candour becomes the baseline, not a favour, and honesty is a legal duty, not an option, writes Labour MP @joepowell.bsky.social
