Imagine telling a Bournemouth fan 20 years ago that they'd beat both AC Milan and Manchester United 3-0 in the same week

Instead of a thousand words. A six years old Vlad stands near his mother's grave. She was murdered by russians in Bucha. April 4, 2022.

This ministerial letter fails to engage with any of the substantial criticisms of the draft Conversion Practices Bill. The bill isn’t compatible with rights to family life, to free expression and to live in a society governed by a predictable, comprehensible criminal code.

In which case starlink is entirely unreliable. If the CEO can, on a whim, decide to downgrade the service you are paying for, rendering it useless in the middle of a war, it is less than useless; it is a permanent knife to your throat.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Sorry, but this is a total farce. Manchester City players, and fans, celebrating wildly like nothing has happened - despite the club being exposed as the worst cheats in football history. What happens if they win the title again this season? That could ruin the Premier League.

The Premier League will continue to be a farce while City, a club found guilty of 114 charges, are allowed to play in it. How meaningless this all is.

It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel. If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

After the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" vote, the Leader of Haringey Council, which is controlled by the Greens, wrote to various Synagogues in the borough to "reassure" them. I want to show you Highgate Synagogue's reply. I believe it is worth reading in its entirety.

Etihad threatening to sue. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince you that state ownership of football clubs should never be allowed, nothing ever will.

The stupidest thing is how transparent the cheating was. Man City were averaging £600m more in commercial income than Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the decade to 2020. It was stark raving obvious that those numbers could not be real for City’s global scale at that time.

I swear the UK economy has a heat-seeking missile for anything that might give late-stage millennials a taste of wealth or happiness

This is the constitution working. The expert house asked the elected house to think again. The Commons did so, and agreed with the Lords that the Bill wasn't safe.

Well done Parliament and congrats to all campaigners who have worked so hard for so long in defence of the most vulnerable. Now let’s fix palliative care.

Feel so very relieved that the Commons has today rejected a dangerous assisted dying bill that would have put vulnerable people - including disabled people, and women subject to coercive control - at risk. 🙏
