Stormy Tenure. Bezos gutted and destroyed a nearly 150 year old publication! Think about that. It took Lewis slightly more than a year to burn it all to the ground and piss on the ashes. All that hard work done for decades by real newspaper people building up trust in the brand gone in an instant

Putin isn’t really winning. Europe needs to make that clear
Behind Russia’s victory narrative in Ukraine is a system under strain. To fight back, the ‘middle powers’ must work harder on their own story

This situation is likely related to the machinations of the PM's chief of staff.
The implications of this should be obvious.

"Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them."
Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won?
