I know these things are hard when you’re in a busy newsroom but I’d rather have “convicted paedophile” in the headline rather than just the lede
Good call with @ZelenskyyUa from Washington DC. Mapping the way forward towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. We continue to work for peace with @POTUS and the US administration.
It does rather amuse me when people whose families likely came from elsewhere tell me to ‘f*ck off back to Poland’. Some of my family have been in England since the era of Oliver Cromwell. Others did come more recently (about 120 years ago) from Poland - those who were left…
My Apartment in Kyiv where I lived for 1.5 years got hit by a Russian drone last night. It's crazy that Russia is allowed to hit residential homes every night without anyone stopping them. It's just old people, students, and families living in this building. Russia must stop.
The great European divestment from US military kit continues to fizzle.
Copenhagen's announcement to increase Danish F-35 fleet to 43 jets, Nordic air forces will command a total of 159 fifth-generation fighters by mid-2030s: Norway (52), Finland (64), Denmark (43). breakingdefense.com/2025/10/denmar…
It's strange that one person can be the cruelest bully in the schoolyard and also at the same time the saddest little boy in the world.
Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"
Vaxxed?
That actually not what she said. She is a smart and selfless lady. No way having Trump resent her will help her people. She said: “We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin…
Exclusive: * Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves plan to blame Nigel Farage for tax rises in the Budget. They will say he delivered Brexit with 'easy sloganeering' then walked away, failing to take responsibility * They will explicitly link the OBR's upcoming productivity…
Jens Stoltenberg: "Why did I flatter Trump? I wanted to save Nato" Interesting interview in @thetimes thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
On balance it's probably a good thing Trump didn't win the peace prize. No idea how well Middle East deal will stick and would have left Ukraine a little in limbo.
In 2017, Macron and his supporters celebrated to the tune of Ode to Joy. He was the Europhile in chief. In 2025, he is responsible for one of Project Europe’s main pillars wobbling. Superb from @TimRoss_1 and @MSolletty politico.eu/article/brusse…
Arguably more important than the EU dropping the term “drone wall” is the governance question.
There are very, very few things you could do to our justice system to make it worse - but ‘Jenrick-Approved-Judges’ is right up there.
We have some of the best lawyers, barristers and judges in the world. But we’ve got a problem. I have concerns that some judges have strongly held beliefs which have the potential to subvert the impartiality of the judiciary. More than 30 sitting immigration judges have former…
China spy fiasco reveals cowardice at No 10 thetimes.com/article/d3ddbb…
The U.K. government has drawn up proposals to increase the amount the National Health Service pays pharmaceutical firms for drugs, in a bid to steer U.S. President Donald Trump away from his threatened tariffs on the sector. politico.eu/article/britai…
Exemplary choice of reading material spotted in the NATO HQ library yesterday.
Stoltenberg opens up. 'as I had done in many other conversations, I referenced Norway’s experiences. “You know, Mr President, as former prime minister of Norway, I know that it’s possible to speak with the Russians.” Trump cast a questioning look. “Are you Norwegian?”'…
