Russia thinks it can outsmart the US during Ukraine talks, intelligence chief says Russian President Vladimir Putin shows no desire to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a senior European intelligence official

‘Putin thinks he can “outsmart” the United States during talks with Washington about how to end the war, says Kaupo Rosin, head of Estonia’s foreign intelligence service.’

What Pam Bondi did in that hearing wasn’t just disrespect. It was the clearest sign yet of how far the guardrails have eroded. When the people’s lawyer acts like the public is the problem, something is deeply broken.

When the Nation’s Top Lawyer Treats Ethics as Optional How a decade of ethical evasion paved the way for Pam Bondi’s partisan performance

I wrote about how we got to a place where Trump administration officials feel emboldened to treat oversight as an insult — and why this moment should alarm anyone who cares about the rule of law.

Is there any justification given at all for the cost of this certificate?

One very obvious solution is to change the cost of the Certificate of Entitlement from £589 to the same as a passport renewal. There we are Keir - that wasn't so hard.

and there are other categories where the HO website is stunningly vague on who might or might not be eligible for British citizenship. Glad @theguardian.com has picked this story up. Unnecessary own goal.

its far from the most important thing going on at the moment in UK immigration policy. But did we really want to create a hostile environment for people who want to come to the UK but have long decided that their British passport does not offer VFM?

Because its not mentioned in the impact assessment, its very hard to work out why the govt is doing this - what is it supposed to achieve? Anything? Or just a fast route to deter tourists and annoy people. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6489e7...

It has all the hallmarks of a cock-up - the Home Office impact assessment, from 2023, makes zero mention of dual nationals - not even mentioning the revenue from forcing people to get new passports. They talked to Aus etc govts about how their ETAs operated - but did they look at impacts.

This is a story that has really cut through in Australia - seen as UK adopting hostile attitude to their citizens. Raised spontaneously in conversation.. In papers. Affects those who have been Irish citizens too ..

❗️Russia will not win the war, as some people think — NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte

“The Russians are advancing in Ukraine at a snail’s pace — very slowly and with staggering losses: 35,000 killed in December, 30,000 killed in January.

There is actually some relevance in this case, Robert Maxwell, Ghislane's father worked with/for Israel (buried Mount of Olives). Given what was being run was an elite blackmail/shakedown and information sourcing ring and possibly 'loyalty' testing, its fair to probe this connection with Wexner.

Before President Trump took office, the criminal section of DOJ's Civil Rights Division had about 40 prosecutors. People familiar with the section's current status told Reuters it's since fallen to no more than 13.

NEW: The Justice Department unit responsible for pursuing potential wrongdoing by law enforcement, including during the crackdown in Minneapolis, has lost two-thirds of its prosecutors and is under orders to scale back its investigations of excessive force.
