Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

Recently there's been a coordinated effort by some to talk down London, because it suits their political agenda. The truth must hurt for them - because London has once again been crowned the greatest city in the world.

If, like me, you love London, then my message is this:
London proves progressive cities work. No wonder some politicians hate that, writes Sadiq Khan | LBC
We must stand up and defend our liberal, progressive, caring capital

❗️A deliberate sabotage act was confirmed at the railway in Poland (another location).

PM Tusk:

The explosion was most likely intended to blow up a train on the Warsaw-Dębli line. Unfortunately, there is no doubt that we are dealing with an act of sabotage.
