Not a single strategic goal has been met. Russia's losing a Vietnam's worth of soldiers every few months. The economy is sprinting toward stagnation, while Moscow is turning more and more every month into a Chinese vassal—all while the Kremlin's allies topple elsewhere.

Staggering historic failure.

An incidental point, I know, but surely the best-looking trophy in sport?

Gets my vote!

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Just abso-lute-ly bloody useless as a journalist - and the show editor should have *insisted* he mention Ratcliffe’s error on air. Pitiful.

Oh look, we have a tax-dodging British billionaire who resides in Monaco telling you it’s the immigrants that are stealing all of britains resources, not tax dodging billionaires who reside in fucking Monaco.

Fuck off, Rat.

If Starmer is serious about a "reset" for Labour then one of the first things which needs to happen is that he boots Mahmood, and others, out of the cabinet and scraps his government's cruel and inhumane policies and rhetoric against migrants, and other marginalised groups. #r4today

Bugger.

Bloody hell!

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

Not a single Republican member showed up to Renee Good’s brothers testimony. Not one. Vile cowards.

That is a LOT of books! V. jealous!

Let’s clarify this.

Steven Bannon takes Epstein‘s money to fund far right activities in Europe which Nigel Farage attends & benefits from but the UK media have decided that this isn’t worth mentioning or investigating.

That’s The Code if the Woosters - great one too!

Speaking of Joyce, Dubliners, his pre-WW1 short story collection has some really great pieces in it, most famously The Dead. And is easier to read than Ulysses!

As was the chilling crime thriller, Brighton Rock by Graham Greene (1938)

And Woolf’s brilliant To the Lighthouse (1927)

Also lots of Simeon’s Inspector Maigret novels were published before 1940 - brilliant if you’re interested in crime novels with great characters and atmosphere.

Right Ho, Jeeves by P G Wodehouse (1934). Has the funniest scene in English Literature (that I’ve come across!)

Absolute gibberish!

"This is the path we choose. Dignity, community and justice"

Disgruntled black cat with a purple hat from a Christmas cracker perched at a jaunty angle on her head.

My cat looking disgruntled- hope it cheers, even slightly!

The Trump administration has given the same mafioso ultimatum to Canada that it has to protesters, but on a grander scale—which makes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s defiance all the more remarkable.

Carney clearly means business. trib.al/lgXEyrX

I’m sure Indian billionaire, Sunny Varkey, wants to give Farage a ton of cash to improve the lives of the people of Clacton.
And definitely not to lobby for crypto or fossil fuels or to have first dibs on the firesale of British assets (eg the NHS) that Farage is bartering for power.
FFS wake up UK.

Haven’t heard that for a few years - just a fantastic track.

Yes, contemporaries and often thought of as rivals but very different mindsets and ambitions.

Such a brilliant exhibition - Turner great, of course, but much of Constable’s work so impressive too.
