The war will end when the Ukrainian army withdraws from Ukraine.
Putin told reporters that the fighting will end when Ukrainian forces withdraw from the territories they currently hold.

“Also for legal reasons, we’re not able to tell you what that line is.”

From a media law perspective: BS.

There is no "legal" reason for not publishing that line.

As usual @davidolusoga.bsky.social (as @sathnam.bsky.social before) gets attacked while @willdalrymple.bsky.social’s eviscerating attacks on the British Empire are genially passed over. What could possibly be different about these historians?
1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

A reminder that almost all of the "migration crisis" of the last 18 months is a manufactured one – and probably says more about how much X has poisoned our politics than anything about realities on the ground.
NEW: Net migration falls sharply to 204,000 in the year to June.

That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

Remember -

Net migration rises: The government has lost control of the borders

Net migration fails: The government has trashed the country so badly that no one wants to come here

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit.

To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.

A symbolic denounement to the British empire: after centuries of plunder produced little more than a mostly-calm island with modest social benefits, the state is left to plunder at home from the pockets of asylum seekers, extracting a last morsel of flesh from those with nothing while fleeing hell.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

We’ve seen claims online that asylum seekers are being given Freedom Passes for free London travel.

They may be eligible if they meet location, age or disability criteria which apply to all Londoners. There’s no special provision for asylum seekers.

This. There is only one difference between an immigrant and an expat, and it is what makes the word expat inherently racist.

(Arguably there is a second, which is wealth, but this is often linked to the first)

Immigration is collapsing, and will continue to do so - perhaps even more quickly. We need to reverse engines and encourage it, right away.
