During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

Moore argues that Ukraine should have the right to strike deep into Russia, that more economic pressure should be brought to bear on the Putin regime. “This is a very winnable contest,” he says. “It’s particularly important that we don’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”
The outgoing head of the Secret Intelligence Service sits down for lunch with FT editor Roula Khalaf to discuss the rise of China, why Putin is not interested in talks — and how screen spies aren’t always far from the truth.

NEW: The rate of Russian advances in the Pokrovsk direction remains relatively slow, likely in part because the Russian military command continues to pursue grinding offensive operations throughout the theater.🧵(1/5)

A simple rule of thumb: Any politician who proclaims to be pro-EU while avoiding supporting re-entry to the Single Market is afraid of mentioning Freedom of Movement. Many have been playing that game for 10 years, and pro-EU voters are wise to it. Anything without Freedom of Movement is still Brexit

🦷 DIY dentistry should never be anyone’s only option.
Across the country people can’t get an NHS dentist. Children end up in hospital with tooth decay and adults live in pain. NHS dentistry needs urgent funding and reform.

It’s time for the Government to fix this gap for good.

In the fall of 2022, our military began the systematic liberation of the Kherson region. Strikes on warehouses and logistics forced the Russians to flee.

On November 11, 2022, Ukrainian forces officially entered Kherson.
It was one of the most important victories of the war.

Today, we in Kharkiv (1,3M people) woke up in Ukraine's second biggest city with a total black out: no water, no electricity, no heating.

The large scale attack against the energy grid is ongoing. Millions of people across the country face miserable living conditions as Russia is still enabled.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Mamdani in New York and the surging Greens in England are a sign that voters want something different. They saw the pandemic as a watershed, a revelation that 40 years of trickle-down neoliberalism has led us down a dead end. They want a readjustment, a New Deal. You could call them neo-Roosevelts!
