Trump: My pollsters said, 'sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and they aligned and they went for the president, vice president as a combination, you'd be beating them by 25 points.'

That Ukrainian peace deal was written in the Kremlin
No one wants the war to continue but it has to be a peace deal that either holds or isn't the surrender of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression

The battleship HMS Warspite was launched in 1913 and saw action at Jutland. Extensively modernised before the Second World War, she served in many theatres during the conflict, being badly damaged twice in the Mediterranean. She ran aground on the way to be scrapped in 1947.

Russia's "security concerns" would be best addressed by it's becoming a liberal democracy.

Populism is wrong
Doesn't matter if its the left or the right, promising people stuff that can't or won't happen is populism and it will not help political stability or trust in politicians

As winter starts to bite, please think of the refugees and asylum seekers who depend on organisations like ours for food and shelter on a freezing cold day.

Labour have been rubbish absolutely no doubt so far, and paralysed by constant questions about immigration, but it is always worth remembering that the previous lot left us in a real mess
NEW: Labour inherited public services in crisis. Performance had fallen, investment had been cut + spending plans were undeliverable.
It's made some progress, providing stability and positive long-term plans. But it has been undermined by poor prep in opposition and lack of co-ordination in govt 🧵

I don't think you will see three better goals if you watch football for years
And from a team that were completely outplayed from start to finish
But what good goals!
