A Russian says: "I think you don't even know how to play chess. So why is this any of your business?"
NatWest sent me a credit card to replace my expired one, but it never arrived. I requested another one and it still hasn't arrived more than a week later, nor have I got a new online card. Meanwhile I applied for a Lloyds card and was able to start using it online immediately.
Russia is trying to kill as many civilians as possible in Kyiv and occupied Oleshky as well as other Ukrainian cities and villages, but its troops retreated in Lyman after officers left them to starve. This week's Russia Report is free- but subscribe!

They used to want us to educate ourselves as much as possible - now they want us to use AI as much as possible. Is this progress?
NatWest has no option for telling them a card wasn't sent when one expired, only that it was lost or stolen. Impossible to get through to a person, only a bot with limited options.
Are women now going to have to prove how much of a woman they are?

@IndiaWilloughby is more of a woman than you'll ever be and it sickens you to the core.

Leaders like Trump and Slovakia's Robert Fico as well as parties such as the AfD in Germany and Reform in the UK don't inspire confidence that we'll do what's needed to prepare for more Russian attacks.
Drone attacks near the Polish border and online chatrooms enticing UK teenagers to commit crimes - Russia is becoming more brazen in its war on the West, and people need to be prepared, Donald Tusk says. This week's Russia Report is free - but subscribe!

This should be national - Swindon is being terrorised by gang members wearing balaclavas.
Nottingham will become one of the first cities to bring in a balaclava ban as new powers aimed at tackling intimidation in the city come into effect

Ukrainian drones are hitting oil refineries and warehouses in Russia and disrupting airports. It's fully justified as Russia targets civilians daily and is stepping up attacks abroad. This week's Russia Report is free - but subscribe!

The final nail in the coffin for Yabloko came with endorsements from exiled Russian opposition leaders who are viewed as traitors.
Russia's Supreme Court has banned Yabloko, the last tolerated liberal party in the country and the only one that was against the war, from upcoming elections. Is the Kremlin getting nervous? This week's Russia Report is free - but subscribe!
