Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

At a time when so many powerful people are bending the knee to Donald Trump, it’s incredibly important that we lift up acts of resistance.
Yesterday, the celebrated editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post when they killed the cartoon below. This is what courage looks like.

With Farage back on Question Time last night...
...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.
And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.
