Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports from Kupyansk, where Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks. Nevertheless, it is quite a move.

Jonathan Gullis has defected to Reform.
What a coup for them!
Jonathan will add:
Hair
Grunts
An odour of hay
An itchy hole
Fungi
Wrinkled shirts
Porridge
Jizz
Conker hairs
Squirrel food
And damp patches wherever he sits.
He truly will be a great asset.

Between 2010–2024, 860 prisoners were accidentally released under the Conservatives. Yet the first and second accidental releases under Labour are getting more headlines than all 860 Tory f***-ups combined.
