Guardian journalists are on strike. In solidarity, here are the articles I refuse to link to:
- I say return our looted culture to Cro-Magnon France
- I thought I was dying - but I'd just skipped lunch!
- Finally, at 36, I understand old age
- I spent a week in the North and it wasn't too bad

🇪🇺 Always impressed by how smart and innovative senior European officials are in thinking about ways to raise more €bn when they *really* have to. Had a similar feeling during the Greek financial crisis & Covid pandemic. Trump 2.0 is inspiring similar creativity again

If true I’d guess this will unlock UK/Fr Storm Shadow/SCALP strikes too. And no point doing it by half measures. Once first strike occurs Russia likely to escalate in some fashion anyway, so better to maximise effect of strikes in short term rather than drip it out

Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles
With two months left in office, the president for the first time authorized the Ukrainian military to use the system known as ATACMS to help defend its forces in the Kursk region of Russia.
