Today on my LBC Sunday show I interviewed a former Trump adviser. She claimed that Putin wasn’t morally responsible for the war. I challenged her on that claim. She told me she didn’t like me and hung up. And they say the left are snowflakes. Watch the full interview here.

It’s unacceptable that 500 million Europeans have left themselves exposed and dependent on 340 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians, who have been unable to win against 40 million Ukrainians in a three-day war that has lasted for three years.

This video - Meta, Tiktok & Twitter squirming before an MP's evidence of their pollution practices - is well worth your time just to confirm where we are on this.

Imagine what the reaction would be if these people were polluting drinking water rather than 'just' minds.

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

There are now few pleasant ways out of this.

American politicians need to find one of those ways.

Some questions for Elon Musk courtesy of the late Tony Benn:

What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you use it?
To whom are you accountable?
And how do we get rid of you?

Eliot Higgins was sued by Yevgeny Prigozhin for saying Prigozhin ran the Wagner mercenary group. Which was obviously true.

So it's deeply disappointing that the Solicitors Regulation Authority are taking no action against Prigozhin's law firm for bringing a meritless claim.

Looking at the first week of the new administration, it certainly seems like the theme of this new administration is going to be "there is a reason you don't do that."

There's a reason you don't appoint violent alcoholics to run the department of defense...

In today's newsbites, I wrote about Ashley, a stalwart of Manchester's hospitality sector, who recently lost an arm to cancer. Now her friends are raising cash to help her and lots of readers have given. Link below for anyone else in a position to help.

Why do BBC give Laura Kuenssberg free rein to write this drivel?

"The big picture is tough. The country's debts are massive and taxes are huge."

It's not even wrong/biased. It's just vacuous twaddle that adds absolutely nothing to public understanding of the issues.

Why the circumstances show it was NGN wanting to avoid a public trial—and not the costs risk on the claimants—that brought this case to its end
