Zelenskyy: Intelligence agencies have reported that the russians are using tankers to control drones launched against European countries. This is further evidence that the Baltic Sea and other seas must be closed to russian tankers.

Sharon Graham of Unite worries that workers worried about the cost of living will vote for Reform. This would be a re-run of Brexit. If you actually think authoritarian populists like Trump & Farage have any economic answers, you are nuts. Farage looks like Truss +++++++++.

Russia lost 94,810 personnel over 3 summer months, or an average of 1,030 per day. While Russia occupied more territory than it took in the equivalent period in 2024, it still amounts to 0.003% of total Ukraine's territory in 3 months. Russia is stuck. kyivindependent.com/russian-prop...

Some progress being made on recovering money lost to Covid fraud. Given the Covid Fraud commissioner was only appointed on Dec 2024, I hope we see this ramp up over the next few years.

Zia Yusuf knows less about his own party than I do. Gill is not some rando who once met Nigel. Gill was Reform Leader in Wales and a close ally of Nigel Farage for over a decade before that across two other political parties. This is not something that can just be brushed away.

Appears to be crazy stuff going on in the Trump legal case against Comey? Lindsey Halligan looks ill prepared? Not clear that any smart prosecutor will take the case? youtu.be/a1inWt3JA2A?...

I think he's probably capable of taking on Halligan. :)

"Okay. It has your signature on it," Judge Vaala told Halligan, who responded, "Okay. Well."

Halligan really missed a trick by not blaming this on Biden's autopen
