We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read (The Guardian link below) & please never stop standing up for Ukraine 🇺🇦

Attacked by Putin with renewed violence, betrayed by his most powerful ally, this man does not give up. He stands firm in the storm. A model of democratic resistance, he is today the first of the Europeans. Salute to Volodymyr #Zelensky. Photo Roussel. Soon in ⁦Paris Match⁩

Zelensky is the bravest of leaders. Standing up to Trump not kowtowing. Bravo Zelensky! 👏👏

Alexander Armstrong, whose net worth is $5 million, says ‘I’m really angry about Starmer’s private school tax - and extremely poor.’ The entitlement and delusion of the millionaires!

Alexander Armstrong: It’s tough being a privately-educated white male Oxbridge graduate who has to pay VAT on private school fees. The public’s level of sympathy:

Education should offer a way to overcome inequality, not reinforce it. If you allow private schools to pose as charities for tax purposes you're telling millions of kids to shut up and stay in their lane because the game is rigged. PS: Alexander Armstrong is not poor.

The extraordinary dignity of John Hunt in the face of such utter pain is beyond imagining. Please read the statement, it is powerful and deeply moving. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/….

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC – Last of ‘The Few’. We reflect not only on his sacrifices, but the sacrifices of all those who served & fought in WWII. Paddy, thank you for your service. Per Ardua ad Astra raf.mod.uk/news/articles/…

In 1940 the bravery of "the few" saw the Nazis defeated in the Battle of Britain. While the last of them has now departed, their legacy and our gratitude will live on forever.

Good luck to Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi on the publication today of Blitz Kids. This book tells the true stories of children who spent their nights in cold, cramped air-raid shelters, hearing the rumble of planes and the crash of bombs overhead. ow.ly/OmpY50VGEh8
