Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov once again threatened mass destruction, declaring: “There will be no life in Kharkiv, Odesa, Poltava, Mykolaiv! These cities won’t exist, nor will Kyiv!”

He has been shouting this for over three years.

Ahh/ there it is. So much for the senate voting on sanctions. Another win for Putin
Q: Thune said he'd like to proceed with the bill that would put sanctions on Russia?

TRUMP: Well we're gonna see. He doesn't know about the call yet. And it was subject to what I wanted to do.

Freedom of speech is not unlimited and the laws of this country restrict it for people who advocate others to be burned to death. It's not difficult.
This felt inevitable: an interview with Allison Pearson given top billing in the Telegraph.

Connolly suggests Starmer should relearn what freedom of speech means and "what the laws are in this country".

I think he knows but Connolly/Pearson clearly don't. No lessons have been learned in prison.

Shout out to all the other political prisoners who openly called for the burning of human beings, entered a guilty plea, got released after doing 40% of their sentence, and were immediately free to go on supportive media channels to criticise the government that locked them up.

So, I notice bilateral-visa-waiver-agreenents getting tonnes of mentions in my replies, like they're the Second Coming.

Some facts:
- most of these agreements concern movement of diplomats
- all of them predates Schengen
- they're virtually unused
- they will not work with EES
