OK - a personal post after some abuse suffered last night and a massive FFFFFFF UUUUUUU to a few who need to learn a lesson or three. Asked what I do for a living explained am an unpaid carer for my partner..... at which point a certain tweeter decided that I was a liar I met

Russian assaults near Vuhledar. Lots of infantry simply running toward Ukrainian positions under heavy mortar and artillery fire. Meat waves.

When you dismiss Russian disinformation as irrelevant or inconsequential, remember thousands of Ukrainians DIED last year because Russian disinfo enveloped the US Republican Party to the point that they blocked Ukraine's funding for 6 months, a rug-pull during the

The attempt by certain elements to change history on WW2, is so on brand of what this place has become. We are not only seeing the attempt to move back in time, but actually trying to rewrite history, so that it serves the narrative of this group and, eventually, give them an

⚡️🇷🇺Russian soldiers cry and plead for help after 🇺🇦Ukrainian FPV uses thermite to burn their positions and everything they had

LOL. According to the DOJ indictment, one of Tenet Media's producers didn’t want to post Tucker Carlson's grocery store trip in Russia because they thought it was not subtle enough for a Russian influence operation: “It just feels like overt shilling"

Do I need to "unpack" why criticising the Ukrainian military for not adhering to the "British Army's rules of engagement" (which change massively conflict to conflict, by the way) whilst fighting an existential war is extremely stupid, Mark?

Evening.

"Barnier is on record as believing Brexit was a grave, historical error" ...could easily be interpreted as being UK friendly.

Brexiters: "Brexit hasn't resulted in food inflation"

The self funded nature of Russian Army unit logistics makes the AFU "dragon's breath" drones a high value weapon. Any crowd funded motor transport or other equipment in front line RuAF positions dusted with this slurry will burn. Plus any troops hit by the slurry will be lucky

Because Brexit is such a winner for the economy, we’re delaying its implementation again. I’m getting bored of this economic self-flagellation. Brexit is doing us no good, holds no future promise, and we should be getting rid of it.

Christian Wolmar is acknowledged as one of the UK’s leading commentators on transport matters. Gully Foyle isn't. Here, Wolmar explains in some detail why Gully's claim is wrong: christianwolmar.co.uk/2019/01/eu-mem…

How it started / how it's going:

JD Vance standing behind bullet proof glass and protected night and day by some of the best trained armed guards in the world telling American parents that their children being shot and killed is a fact of life they will have to live with.

The Tim Pool/Tenet Media story is obviously fascinating. But... An FBI affidavit unsealed this week says the Russians are maintaining an active list of 2,800 influencers, 600 of whom are in the US The FBI has not released the list Who else is on it? wired.com/story/project-…

Not sure where Gully got his graph from, but comparing UK & EU27 CPI throws up the opposite of what's claimed. And that widening gap could get worse once 6x delayed costly Brexit induced import checks are fully implemented, delayed again for fear of pushing up inflation!! 🧵1/

What military aid to Ukraine in what numbers would be the most impactful?

The UK's economy has stagnated since 2008 🇬🇧 In terms of GDP per capita - economic output divided by the number of people in a country - we've actually gone backwards. A short 🧵 on the countries that the UK was richer than in 2007, but which have since overtaken us...

The US-Biden administration announced another substantial military aid package for Ukraine. The following items are listed: - Bradley IFVs - M113 APCs - RIM-7 missiles - Stinger missiles - Ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) - 155mm and 105mm artillery
