Thousands protest in London ahead of third anniversary of Ukraine war Several Labour politicians spoke at the rally, including Emily Thornberry, who said Britain needed to stand "visibly and unwaveringly" with Ukraine.

"Three years on from the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the crowd that gathered in London was not just there to mourn but to demand action."

Report from today's Ukraine Solidarity protest, which we were proud to support.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Look at those big negative bars – "the UK economy" is rightly one of the biggest, as well as the cost of living.

People get it. It's the politicians who are slow on the uptake.

Liz Truss legal threat to Starmer over claim she crashed economy No 10 insists millions of people share Sir Keir's view of the Truss government's economic record.

I wonder: if I say that I believe Liz Truss crashed economy, will she threaten legal action against me?

If you've not just watched 'Wham! Last Christmas Unwrapped' on BBC Two do make sure you watch it on BBC iPlayer. Brilliant doc.

Why has new additive Bovaer prompted people to throw Arla milk away? The new additive aims to cut down on methane emissions from cows, but some have raised safety concerns.

Very good item from BBC Verify describing how mistruths and misinformation spreads across some social media outlets.

A troll’s only purpose in life is to troll you. Your anger is like oxygen to them.

When you take that away from them, they shrivel up and die.
