I thought there was an investigation. I thought that it was called the Russia report. Can’t we just demand that it be released?
Call me old fashioned, but it would save a lot of time and taxpayer money…

I hope PM Tusk's sentiment is repeated by every sane and rational western leader.

Ukraine must not be forced to surrender to the aggressor Putin or the bully Trump.
PM Tusk:
Be for a strong West, not for Russia. Stand with #Ukraine in its war with Russia, no ifs and buts. Every 'but' works for Russia, and therefore against our security.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."

No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

At least someone took governance seriously at the BBC Board

For the Chair not to talk to all the NEDs when the resignation of two key Directors occured is frankly bizarre
