A leap of around 200 in human sacrifices made by Russia in this morning's figures.

I cannot be sure this is because of increased frontline activity - there could be lag in the figures over the weekend - though some Russian units have completed rotations.

The closer than the Tories get to Reform, the more it makes sense for Labour to leave them to it and head back towards the centre. Stop bashing immigrants 24/7 and concentrate on the important stuff.

2 months ago today Human Rights Watch reported Russian army is committing war crimes in Kherson, deliberately hunting civilians with drones in "human safaris". UN has said it too.

You'd think this would be bigger news.

Why is Starmer becoming more confident criticising Brexit? Because quietly, without any great drama, a consensus has been reached. It's a disaster inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

One of those hereditary peers who gets to sit in the House of Lords because an ancestor did something in 1442.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Kellogg: "Putin can't defeat NATO and West, he can't. He doesn't have the capacity. I spoke with senior leaders in Washington, and they asked me precisely this question: can Russia win this war in Ukraine? I said no, it can't. It has no capacity to win a war after three years, after these losses."

I love how, when you ask ChatGPT a hard question and it says "thinking", there's a button you can press "skip this step". I guess that's how some human brains work too....

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Today, a russian drone struck a residential building in Kyiv. Among the dead was 12-year-old Oleksandra Polishchuk. Oleksandra's mother is currently in the hospital in serious condition.

Our sincere condolences to the family.
