Alright, the title of this article is a bit tongue in cheek. And the subject matter – David Icke's deluded belief that the world is secretly controlled by alien lizards – is always good for a laugh. But I'm making a serious point here, comrades. I think.

Long article. Short version: Putin doesn't plan to invade Europe, the MiGs' incursion into Estonian airspace was likely accidental, the incident opened up a division in NATO over whether to risk nuclear war by pursuing a military confrontation with Russia.

Over the past year or so I've researched and partly written a number of articles that I never got round to finishing. So I thought I'd make the effort to complete some of them. Here's the first. It's yet another article on Corbyn and the mural. The last one, I promise.

SOCIS poll for the next presidential election in Ukraine. In the first round Zelensky has a narrow lead over Zaluzhny. In the second round Zaluzhny would defeat Zelensky by 60.5% to 39.5%. I think we can assume Zelensky will not be calling an election any time soon.

What are Zelensky's approval ratings? In December his net trust rating slumped to +13% (52% trust, 39% distrust) compared with +55% in Dec 2023. This month it recovered slightly to +20% (57% trust, 37% distrust). But that's way down on May 2022 when his net rating was +83% (90% trust, 7% distrust).
