There are so many things about leaving Kyiv that are weird but one of them is being in a city where the lights are on. Itβs so hard to explain how it is to go from blackout to lights.

Lawrence gave his first take on Iran at the weekend and will return to it later this week.
What is "deliverism"? Is it dead? And what would its death mean for progressive politics?

Evolution of Viktor OrbΓ‘n's government propaganda:
2017: βLetβs not let Soros have the last laugh!β
2026: βLetβs not let Zelensky have the last laugh!β
By the way, can anyone guess the common feature that makes both such convenient scapegoats for a far-right government?
