Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

And so the World Cup final will be between two teams who couldn’t beat Cape Verde in 90 minutes.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.

1) It’s *literally* your job to regulate this platform. 2) If you can’t, what does that mean? Tell us. 3) The Dept of Culture is not ‘your’ department, it’s ours. You’re its temporary custodian 5) But Facebook is ok? Really?
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too. A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.

No one should be celebrating what seems certain to be the imminent departure of #Starmer & arrival of our 7th PM in 10 years Something has gone horribly wrong in British politics. Stability & competence were key parts of what made us a great country. Poorer quality politicians, the cheapening of political debate (in part social media but also MSM) & rise of so called populism led to #Brexit & the decision to leave #EU just exacerbated the demise of competent Govt, sensible politics & decent politicians.

Great airline at juxtaposing prices to get in to World Cup games versus actually flying to country.

An overlooked story of the day - all three devolved governments led by a party that wants to leave the UK.
I have contacted SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth to congratulate them on their enormous mandates. For the first time ever, there could be three pro-independence First Ministers across these islands. More and more people are looking towards a future beyond the constraints of the Union. I look forward to continuing to build the friendship between the people of our nations, and to working closely with both John and Rhun in the time ahead.

A really odd thing has happened to British conservatism. It has surrendered its national sovereignty and become part of the MAGA cult.

If you've not been a fan of the shorter days, here is some good news - today marks the earliest sunset of the year for most of us! So the sun will be setting a little later each day from now on 🌞

A special message from The King, in support of Stand Up To Cancer. 🧡 As part of this year’s @SU2CUK campaign, @CR_UK and @Channel4, with support from the @NHS, have launched a nationwide Screening Checker to help people find out which cancer screening programmes they are eligible for and seek helpful advice on the process. 🔗 screeningchecker.co.uk
