I wrote about leaving Russia at short notice and the exodus of journalists and other professionals amid fears about imminent martial law. With thanks to Meduza's @Alexey__Kovalev for telling his story

The US far behind Europe still, and it’s no coincidence that the UK, where so much Russian money lives, has done so little. Corruption is the only word for it. If they expose it, they will be implicated themselves. https://t.co/L7wyFbi4eR

Putin is going to find it difficult to arrest all these people with his jails overflowing.

Well done, brave Russian people of St Petersburg. 🇷🇺✊

UK Government Ministers: desperate to be seen standing next to a Ukrainian flag; much less keen on standing next to an actual Ukrainian.

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.

RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5

This superb video has now clocked past 3 million views.

It’s a brutal 3-minute summary of New Zealand’s success vs the UK’s failure. Keep sharing it.

@DATsitsikas I thought the same - it is a worry.

[Clive Peedell @cpeedell]

Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford is @Nigel_Farage’s worst nightmare to interview about Brexit & the NHS. She’s a doctor with an academic background in politics and she talks in an evidence based, factual and truthful manner.
Please RT if you want a Farage Vs Clarke @LBC debate

[Cystic Fibrosis Trust @cftrust]

What an excellent point by @IanAustinMP. The better and longer people w/ #cysticfibrosis live, the more they can contribute to our society and economy. Let's not just focus on #Orkambi cost! #OrkambiNow

A peaceful, constructive and useful form of retaliation against the Russian government? Shut down money laundering in the City of London.
