Russia is already at war with Europe. Pretending that hybrid-war is not a "real" war only means that it will get escalated by Russians.

I really preferred it when the West armed Ukraine and then restricted how they defended themselves.

The EU now requires all Mobile Phones to be sold with easily replaceable and standardised batteries, as they used to be. From 2027 they all will be again, in Europe.

Mandelson was just an ambassador. Johnson failed vetting and still went on to be PM.

Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.

@paulbrand.bsky.social — no mention of Boris failing security vetting when May appointed him Foreign Sec?

💀🔥 Ukrainian kamikaze drones destroy 70 Russian soldiers near Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. Footage of drone operators from the 414th brigade "Birds of Magyar".

Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. The media must have missed that one.

Day 1517 of my 3 day war. My war now last 100 days longer than our involvement on the allied side* of WW2. We control 30% less of Ukraine than we did 100 days after it started. I remain a master strategist.

Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet… It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

💥 Today, the enemy continues to try to infiltrate our positions individually or in groups of 2-3 people. That is why it is important to detect and eliminate such small groups in a timely manner. 429th separate brigade "Achilles" effectively cope with this task.

🔥 Over the past week, reconnaissance units of GUR have conducted a series of effective raids, during which they destroyed and cleared the positions of the occupation forces, where the enemy was concentrating units to prepare offensive actions.

Here is Robert Jenrick with Aaron Lee Taylor, a Reform activist and former branch Treasurer, who also enjoyed posting on social media in praise of Hitler, including saying "Heil Hitler" and denying the holocaust. Bobby J will now be known as Robert Jenreich.

Richard Stupid Tice makes a good point - the government should learn from Reform UK and use the same vetting system as we do. We have an exemplary record of only passing a few hundred racists, sex pests and violent criminals.

I really miss the days when we had a government of integrity, honesty and service.

ICMYI: As part of a Guardian investigation, Sean Craig & I looked into clandestine neo-nazi "Forest Fights" — hooligan-style brawls on a secretive Lynchburg, VA compound hosted by neopagan hate group Wolves of Vinland, with fighters from the active club network, Patriot Front, and the Hammerskins. 🧵

Americans, I can recommend the "Byline Times", it's 🐂💩 free.

Zack Polanski on BBC Southeast, "Rent controls would put £18 billion of purchasing power into communities than going to private landlords" "We live in the sixth wealthiest country in the world there is no need for councils to be strapped for cash"

Brutal 💀

🔥 "Alpha" of the SBU became No. 1 among the units of the Defense Forces according to the results of March in terms of the number of targets hit by drones. During the month, special forces eliminated over 10,200 occupiers, and also hit 7,346 other targets: 5,122 were destroyed, 2,224 were damaged.

Whatever you think of Boris Johnson, at least we know he WASN’T a liar, nor did he ever mislead Parliament. 🇬🇧

We should be learning from other countries...

The only country on Earth whose reality must be written in the passive voice, lest uncomfortable truths are told.

Currently, the company is involved in several legal disputes worth approximately 15 million rubles, and some employees are reportedly selling cars through thematic chat groups. 4/4

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

“I said Zia Yusuf gave a robust defence against the suggestion that Reform lied about promising to cut council tax. What did I say Roy?” “You said the arrogant little gobshite just told even more lies”

NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.

OTD in 1917 Lenin arrived in Saint Petersburg. He was sent as an illegal foreign backed agent to foment a color revolution to overthrow the legitimate regime as part of the West's endless plot to constraint Russia.

Quite a nice touch that the Tories went to the trouble of giving Kemi Badenoch a jacket with her name on.

In 1945, the world chose courts over chaos. Crimes were named. Evidence was heard. Accountability mattered. Democratic freedoms survive when power answers to law. When it doesn’t, history shows us what comes next. #MeltICE #NeverAgainIsNow

I agree with Chris that Starmer spending 30k on a flat is a disgrace, whereas Boris Johnson spending £200k was of no interest, according to an article he wrote in 2021.

My salary for being an MP is £98,000 per year. GB News pay me up to £98,000 per month. Guess where my priorities lie...

OTD in 1945 the Battle of Seelow Heights began. The Red Army, getting 30% of its supplies thru US lend lease, crossed into the invader's territory for the first time. A "dangerous escalation" of the war.

I’m delighted to report that the exhumed body of Elvis will be standing as a candidate for Reform UK in Bury.

My response to the Southport inquiry: the one lesson we definitely did learn is that some idiot spreading misinformation online can lead to widespread riots among knuckle-dragging racist fuckwits.

Enjoyed my visit to Shetland today, where I was absolutely thrilled to see they’d already named a place after me.
