❗️Whoa. So, buried in the King’s Speech is what is basically a China Bill. 💪 “The Bill allows the Secretary of State to specify organisations, including state entities or their proxies, that are engaged in activity to threaten our national security” Who could they mean? 🕵️‍♂️🇨🇳

Russia's parliament approved a bill that allows President Vladimir Putin to order the invasion of foreign countries during a session today. politico.eu/article/russia…

6am, months of work, 2 days up straight, 8 hours of count and an absolute rollercoaster - and we have taken Walpole from Labour. Thank you to all the amazing teamwork of so many people, to my family and to the wonderful Lib Dems! I am now a councillor in a place where I spent most of my life - Ealing 🥹

As one who is often asked about RU domestic politics, I remained sceptical about the recent "intel report". There are several factual anomalies / obvious facts masqueraded as secrets that stand out. A short thread: 1/16 istories.media/en/stories/202…

@grinogij @arina147 Вопрос - зачем это все публичить и проговаривать? 🫠

«Меня выпустили, все хорошо» что и требовалось доказать – вывезли в субботу через Беларусь человека с электронной повесткой и запретом на выезд из России. дорогие журналисты, пожалуйста, проверяйте информацию и не делайте далеко идущих выводов по одному человеку. а то неделю назад была волна публикаций: «ААА, призывника не выпустили, Россия и Беларусь начали обмениваться данными». не работает синхронизация реестра электронных повесток и баз данных погранслужбы. даже с российской погранслужбой пока не синхронизирован реестр. тем более с белорусской. не только через Беларусь можно до сих пор выехать, получив электронную повестку, но даже через российскую границу можно выехать, имея запрет от военкомата. у нас много таких случаев. да, изредка бывают отказы, но спокойно выехавших гораздо больше. с чем связан отказ, нужно разбираться в каждом конкретном случае. когда заработает синхронизация, мы сразу это увидим – отказы в выезде будут исчисляться сотнями в день. и конечно сначала призывникам закроют российскую границу. и только потом белорусскую.

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

Yessss

NEW: Palantir’s revolving door. A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption. 1/ Link ⬇️

I swear Liz Truss could have had an entire premiership during this period.

💥"Yesterday you could feel a huge relief among leaders. Because it was for the first time in years that there were no Russians in the room, if you know what I'm talking about. But..." And then Robert Fico walks in while Donald Tusk winks at the reporters. Pure perfection.

"I stand by every single word of this report...I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information." Sarah Fitzpatrick on Kash Patel: theatlantic.com/podcasts/2026/…

A mystery moneyman's donations could carry Nigel Farage to power. He lives in Thailand and is “intensely private”. I’ve spent months investigating who he is, what he wants and his crypto fortune. Here, for the first time, is the story of Chris Harborne theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

#Palantir already supplies experimental AI to Scotland Yard. Now the US spy-tech company is in talks with London’s Metropolitan police to automate intelligence analysis for criminal investigations. What could go wrong? @AmnestyUK @GoodLawProject tinyurl.com/nhy66rtx
