We talk about what security guarantees we can give to Ukraine - it's Ukraine currently guaranteeing the security of free Europe, when literally no one else is.
And all they ask is the necessary support to be successful in that objective.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

The British press poses a genuine and profound threat to our democracy and our shared prosperity. They howl out their right wing, wealth-protecting agenda and want Farage as PM. We will all pay a very high price for their selfish greed and their utter indifference to social inequality.

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Robbie Gibb had "no editorial role" at the Jewish Chronicle in the same way as Rupert Murdoch had no editorial role at the media outlets he used to exert political influence for many years.
Gibb also had no editorial role at the BBC but still used his position to bully & browbeat BBC journalists.

Gibb; “ I had no editorial role whatsoever at the Jewish Chronicle”. Lee Harpin, reporter at the paper; “RG made a habit of calling into the office on print days to check up on what stories were topping the news list, and offering a view’”

Hope HMRC are investigating whether Gill evaded tax on the bribes he received.

In less febrile, more sensible times everyone would admit what they know to be true: Reeves and her husband made a simple mistake and one that was very clearly not designed to enrich them. Of course it's not a reason for her to resign. Badenoch did much, much worse.
