Bravo CaolanRob! Let this show that if you elect clowns, expect a circus. Empowering contrarian influencers like Fidias Panayiotou doesn't 'stick it to the system', it turns out democracy into spectacle. Ukrainian children deserve justice. They aren't a prank, clickbait or 'just a take'.

It's incredible to think that, approaching his 3rd Grand Tour GC podium, Simon Yates was world points champion on the track12 years ago. Cillian Kelly, am I right in thinking he must be the only non-pursuit (+Brad's Madison) track world champion to achieve this in the modern era?

#Pogacar after overturning a 22 second deficit, winning the stage solo and putting 40 seconds into #Vingegaard: "I had to finish quickly because I wanted to see Urška Žigart in the #tourdesuissewomen. Luckily I made it in time." 👏🏽

• Russia invades Ukraine in 2014 • Putin claims "the current crisis in relations between Russia and Western Europe effectively began in 2014." • Blames CIA 🤦🏽‍♂️

Look to the sky and you'll see our politics laid bare. Over Ukraine, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Sudan and Libya, the air is still. On the ground, borders blur into mountains, forests and deserts. But from above, the lines get sharper as we swerve around the chaos of our necropolitics.

🇪🇺 🚸 "The shift from criminalisation to bureaucratisation represents an evolution in tactics, allowing for repression of humanitarians under a veneer of legitimacy." Thank you so much to the Forced Migration Review team for kindly publishing my reflections on the Mediterranean SAR landscape!

Behind the scenes at #TDF2025 Grand Départ! @UAE-TeamEmirates bikes are laid out and checked for motors and compliance with the UCI's new handlebar rule, Team Boss Andrea Agostini is giving interviews, and newly-crowned Belgian Champ Tim Wellens stretches his legs before sign-on!

Someone quickly tell Ben Healy, before he fumbles the stage! #TDF2025 (Only teasing Luc Grefte) 😜

Tonight, on the anniversary of the #Paris2024 #Olympics opening ceremony, Amnesty International projected the message "Stop Genocide in #Gaza" onto the Olympic Cauldron, above thousands of spectators watching from the Louvre's Tuileries Gardens.

🇷🇺 A major #cyber attack on Khrabrovo Airport in #Kaliningrad appears to be underway, similar to Monday's targeted disruption against Aeroflot. Flights originating from Moscow are aborting the final stages of their journeys and diverting to the closest Russian-friendly airspace.

The Alaska summit, as predicted, was a totally futile exercise in ego & posturing; from the location, Lavrov's USSR shirt, the B2 flyover, press conference, Putin and Trump blaming democrats for the war. Meanwhile, no Zelensky, no ceasefire, and Bombs continue to fall on Ukraine.

"We'll promise not to invade Ukraine if you give us the bits of Ukraine we're currently invading", says former professional spy who has consistently lied about invading countries and repeatedly broken his own peace promises.
