Extraordinary, when you think about it, that anyone could look at former *head of communications for Theresa May* Robbie Gibb & think ‘now that’s exactly the skillset we need a slice of’.

In 2010 I first spent an extended period of time in the US on research. And my main takesway from that time was how deluded Europeans in general are if we think of the US as little more than a very powerful extension of Europe on the other side of the Atlantic. This is not an anti-american point.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Hamas had lost most of its leadership and turf in Gaza Israelis that faced no concrete consequences from any other power by the point Trump forced it to sign.
Ukraine enjoys the support of the EU/UK and other powerful states and has state and territorial control.
The comparison is absurd.

Over 1 million EU citizens have signed the "Ban on conversion practices in the European Union" European citizens’ initiative.
This week, the organisers formally submitted the initiative, proposing a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ people across the EU.

Well, this is pretty terrifying. The Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.
US 'peace proposal' includes Russianisms prompting questions about authorship of text - analysis Luke Harding in Kyiv Some of the phrases in the US’s “peace proposal” for Ukraine appear to have been originally written in Russian. In several places the language would work in Russian but seems distinctly odd in English.
