The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

This is so well argued and restrained. A must read for all.
We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

I was intrigued to see which two of the Vatican’s ten Raphael tapestries were chosen for today’s unprecedented service in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries are very rarely shown - was Pope Leo XIV conveying any message in the choice?

As the Fiasco of Budapest unfolds. #MustRead
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter whether Britain thinks we are at war with Russia if Moscow already considers itself at war with us, which it does. We either acknowledge the reality of it or bury our heads in the sand, in either scenario, the war for Europe has already begun.

“The weakest link in Ukraine’s defences still lies in the minds of its western friends.”
Absolutely. Repeating the narrative that Ukraine can’t win is deadly for Ukrainians. Not to mention flat-out wrong.

Apparently, protecting children is boring, especially since most people agree with it. Xenophobia, on the other hand, is eye-catching and creates division.

1/ The Budapest Memorandum is coming up constantly given current events. I think it's worth talking about what it did and did not do.
Specifically, the differences between the ASSURANCES it offered (strong), and the GARAUNTEES it provided (weak).

In 2019 I got a German passport via my grandfather, who died when I was 12.
In May, I went to Berlin with my mother and sister to see the streets where both my grandparents grew up. And I found out what happened to my grandmother's parents.
This is their story.
