Dear Boris Johnson, It seems your bold move of barring 3 Russians from being able to open a new ISA wasn’t quite the diplomatic masterstroke you claimed it was. Yours sincerely, Everyone

The Leader of the House called it ‘the Ukraine’. Unfortunately that implies it’s a part of Soviet Russia. Ukrainians prefer to call it “Ukraine”.

Deleted my tweet re Nuclear weapons as it was too ambiguous & therefore misinterpreted. To be clear it was a general wish that nukes didn’t exist anywhere. They may have stopped wars, although hypothetical, thus far, but it only needs one madman to launch one, & we’re all screwed

Until last week, Russian oligarchs could buy a British passport, no questions asked. Today, there is no ‘legal’ route to the U.K. for Ukrainians fleeing Russian war crimes. Both are deliberate Conservative government policies.

Ok. Deep breath. I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in. The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie. 1/

This is Brandon Lewis. He took £60K in Russian donations.

This is Nigel Adams, MP for Selby and Ainsty. He took £30,800 of Russian money.

Vladimir Putin surrounded by his close friends

Interesting BBC Radio 5 Live just cancelled an interview with me at 7.30 because their lawyers couldn’t vet what I was going to say beforehand. I guess some oligarchs’ lawyers are cracking down on free speech. Sad that broadcasters are playing their game.

Just had a chance to ask a question to Boris Johnson

Never has a Prime Minister wished more fervently for a walk-in fridge.

Had the West taken the action it is taking now when Putin first invaded Ukraine in 2014, he would not be threatening the world with nuclear war today.

Very glad Valentyna Klymova is now able to join her daughter in UK after I raised her case in Parliament yesterday. Elderly parents from Ukraine shd not be turned away by Border Force. Govt has finally accepted this but there’s still more to do to help those needing sanctuary.

PCSO Brown has been on foot patrol this afternoon around Greenfields park in relation to an increase in ASB. At this time there were no signs of any ASB. We are aware of the increase and issues especially in the evening time and will continue to monitor it #policingpromise

not sure destroying the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial - honouring tens of thousands of Jews killed in WW2 - is consistent with the “de-nazification” theme
