“This is not a refugee strategy — it's an embarrassment. I am furious — and deeply ashamed — that my country is treating these poor people with such an unbelievable lack of compassion, courtesy and common sense” mol.im/a/10595863

You rarely hear from mothers of Russian soldiers. This lady came up to us at an anti-war protest in Moscow, desperate for the safety of her 22 yr old son. She told us there were only 10 men left in his regiment. If there are voices Putin fears, it’s these

A month ago, in the early hours of Feb 24th, just before the invasion, Pres #Zelensky spoke in Russian, to the people of Russia, urging them to try to stop it. Now, in the early hours of March 24th, he's made a direct appeal, in English, to people everywhere to stop this war.

I am Rt Hon Nadine Dorries anyone else?

This is Natalia and her 11-year-old twins Yana and Yaroslav. When Russian cluster bomb struck Kramatorsk train station, Yaroslav was inside the building. Natalia and Yana were on the platform waiting for tea offered by volunteers. They are now in Lviv. Pic by Iryna Zaslavets.

Yes, it appears that big patch of brown you can see in the sea is what you think it is.

Dear @Ofgem & @KwasiKwarteng. Pls reverse the recent burden shift to the standing charge (rather than unit rates) for the next price cap. It was regressive & means cutting usage has less impact on bills. Even those using NO energy now pay £165/yr for electricity, £99 for gas.

This summer is going to be tough for a lot of families, please #RT it may help someone

My energy company just offered me a fixed price deal of £7,844.96 for 12 months, £7,844.96 for 12 months worth of gas and electricity. No I’m not kidding. I’m still bloody hyperventilating. Martin Lewis

By Jan, multiple 1000s of people will owe up to £10k in energy bills they just can't/won't pay. There has never been anything like this. And no plans are being made! Boris went on fucking holiday. As I just saw someone Tweet, "The rich have forgotten to be scared of the poor."

This . Just this . Sums it all up really . . . we are in deep shit . . . and they are on holiday . . .

We got an electric bill a few weeks ago for our unit in Chester. Kind of ignored it because we just assumed it was a misprint, like too many zeros or something… It’s not. Our electric bill for the quarter at our events unit is 26 thousand pounds.

Welcome to modern Britian on a Monday morning. Red dots is where sewage dumping has been taking places over the weekend, grey dots is where the water company has stopped supplying the data. Why have you done that South West Water?

One of my favourite hidden passages in London is near Angel. It has a incredible surprise at the end of it! 👇

The Spanish Government has now announced that train journeys will be free on short and medium journeys until the end of 2023 to help with the cost of living crisis. And it's pushing ahead with a Windfall Tax on the profits of banks. Let's fight for that here too!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Neil Diamond, who retired from performing five years ago because of Parkinsons, just had a Broadway show of him open and it at the opening night he did this

I hope a formal complaint has been made to IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation), as potential breach of Editor’s Code of Practice under clause 12. Clarkson is clearly inciting hatred but women remain vulnerable, as we are not protected from this extreme misogyny in law.

Jeremy Clarkson.His wonderful daughter Emily has just put out a statement on her instagram account. "I stand against everything that my Dad wrote about Meghan Markle". FYI Emily has spoken many times about how she suffered very badly from online abuse when she was younger. 💪🏼👏🏼
