Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

“The European Union alone has a GDP about 10 times that of Russia, and if you add the U.K. and Norway to that calculation, the imbalance in favor of Ukraine grows even larger.”
Good piece on why Russia is in dire straits and everyone should get behind Ukraine.

Russia Is Losing the War of Attrition
Ukraine is not on the verge of collapse. That makes the Trump administration’s decisions particularly shortsighted and tragic.
