FT says during his recent visit, Trump's envoy Driscoll gave Kyiv a Moscow-coordinated plan and told them to accept losing allegedly "disputed" cities.

One EU official told FT the tone was “nauseating.”

My partner is VERY smart (History degree, brainy Cambridge job) BUT I’ll never forget when I started reading ‘Game of Thrones’ and she asked how it was and I said, ‘It starts exactly like the TV show’ and she said….

UK is plagued with politicians too scared to speak the truth.

After 9 years we are only now seeing timid admissions that Brexit has not been good.

We need to hear politicians say that Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster and it must be addressed now.

This is an excellent, level-headed, informative piece. I'd kill for a government which could discuss the issue with the same sense of objectivity and calm.

Two final points.

In 2019 Boris Johnson celebrated his General Election Victory with Alexander Lebedev

In 2022, Canada sanctioned Alexander Lebedev for being on of Putin’s inner circle

Just ponder that.
Since we released this @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social documentary two years ago, more information has come to light that Boris Johnson went to this meeting to discuss a 'backchannel' to Putin with Alexander Lebedev, who was working for the Kremlin in Crimea at the time

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee.

Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.”

If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this.

5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.

I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!

Not the Brexit deal.
Brexit.
A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until we’re brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.
The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

The petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy is at 105.3k. I think it should get a lot more signatures. If you agree please repost, and share the petition as often and as far and wide as possible.

A HUGE scandal that the scale of Russian interference is not reported by MSM.
Independent journalists do a great job but the public must help.
We all continue to pay, and suffer as a result of the damage done to Europe and to Britain's economy by Brexit.
Time to punish the disloyal, greedy fat cats

Thank you!

All sorted?

Actually, no.

So, what's next?

1/ Keep sharing! 100K achieves “considered for debate”. Let’s help them consider this debate unavoidable

2/ Write to your MP to say you support the public inquiry

Through his life and extraordinary talent, the immigrant and refugee child Tomáš Sträussler who became known to us all as Tom Stoppard made British theatre and this country a better place to be.

You might even argue that he helped redefine Englishness through his astonishing legacy of work.
