I am guessing that Trump's Gaza peace plan is a failure due the fact that I keep seeing reports of ceasefire violations, and a spike in the number of apparently Palestinian accounts cold @'ing me begging for money because the humanitarian conditions are bad and getting worse.

The so-called peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia will fail. It is inevitable. Putin‘s objective - the destruction of Ukraine (and the USA) - will never stop for as long he draws breath. He crossed the point of no return a long time ago.

I suspect that the reason for Russia trying to get America to ram thru their dirty peace plan is that Ukraine is now able to commit drone strikes against targets that are over 1,000 km from the border.
That puts *Moscow* within striking distance, and maybe that spooked the Russians...

Ukrainian drones struck the capital of the Chuvash republic of Cheboksary in Russia, which is around 1,000 km from the Ukrainian border. Target was VNIIR-Progress factory. Explosion from the factory area can be seen from multiple angles.

The thing I don't get is why Reform are consistently polling nationally at 30% when...
• Their leader is lazy and never does any constituency work.
• One of their former MPs is serving 10+ years in prison for being a Russian asset.
• Their track record in local government is absolutely atrocious.

In a just world Johnson would have been prosecuted, convicted and banned from public office. He is one of the worst people to have ever occupied the office of Prime Minister.
Don’t be fooled by Boris Johnson. He lied over and over, put senior civil servants on the back foot with his boosterism and tens of thousands died unnecessarily. A terrible PM as well as a terrible author.
Boris Johnson rejects 'muddled' COVID inquiry report and accuses chair of 'breathtaking inconsistency'
The former prime minister, who set up the inquiry, has accused its chair Baroness Heather Hallett of being "hopelessly incoherent" and relying on "hysterical predictions" about COVID deaths.

What exactly happened to Starmer's conference line about fighting racism with everything they have. That is incompatible with this government's stated policies of pandering to racism and giving in to it. All Labour are doing right now is emboldening racism rather than countering it.
The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

Single bus fares in the West Midlands increased by 50% in six months because Labour didn't continue Sunak's £2 fare cap.
As for rail fares, something like 2% is profit, the rest is on the government. I would have expected a minimum 2% fare cut if privatisation was the cause of the high fares.

It has become apparent that the so-called peace plan was authored entirely by Russia and for some inexplicable reason the English translation was accepted verbatim by the US. Combined with it being condemned by most of Europe, Canada and Japan, I can see it disappearing into a Ukrainian shredder.
My understanding is that Ukraine won't accept any deal that puts restraints on their military and gives up the territories that Russia stole. Trump's so-called plan is dead on arrival because Ukraine will reject it.
