Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

"Italy's new article establishes femicide as a standalone offence punishable by life imprisonment. So far, only Cyprus, Malta and Croatia have defined femicide as an autonomous crime. Elsewhere in the EU, the gendered motive is folded into existing homicide or domestic-violence frameworks."
