Time to clarify a few things:
1. I’m not “Boris Johnson’s cat”
2. Like all Prime Ministers, he’s only a temporary resident of Downing Street
3. I live here permanently. When he finally goes, I stay
4. Yes, it’s all very embarrassing but it will be over soon

Wow. This is how #Russia 🇷🇺 is trying to attract people to go and live there. And no. It’s not satire.

This is a great column by @Dannythefink, on how the Brexit fantasy, like the communist fantasy, keeps crashing into reality. Unfortunately I don't share his final note of optimism. Alas, delusion is powerful and reality doesn't always win. https://t.co/GslCjJ4cFh

"Real Brexit is, like real socialism, a sort of abstract, undefined idea, always a little over the horizon, always waiting for someone bold enough, a true believer to guide us to the promised land."

It’s a decade since I won my final race. It happened on July 13th, the same date that Tommy Simpson died on Mont Ventoux 55yrs ago. Here’s the story of that day:

Making abortions illegal isn’t pro-life. It’s anti-choice. It’s anti-women. It won’t save lives. It will kill women. It’s a social & economic injustice. And just so, so wrong. Reproductive rights are not just women’s rights. They are human rights. So let’s all stand up for them.

This is my dad, he’s 86 & still coaching. He spoke out constantly about the GDR state run doping program of 70s/80s that blighted my career (& others). He was never selected as a GB coach because he did. He was right. I’m now doing the same thing 4 another generation of athletes

For God's sake, could everyone just stop apologising and explaining away what prez Biden said about Putin. He stated a simple truth every sane person agrees with. Nothing less. Nothing more. Live with it. All of you.

You’ll have seen the multiple false claims that Putin and his supporters are making about ‘Nazis’ in Ukraine. We’ve looked at them in detail.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

For those wondering what other bits of history Putin has been rewriting in his head...I have just been reminded of this, from January 2020: Putin has been blaming Poland for the start of the Second World War https://t.co/k0zBhjeMDq

#KyivDiary Day 25
The war is going badly in the South.
Brexit was a Kremlin project.
If Boris Johnson comes to Kyiv, I'll ask him: "PM, why did you celebrate your election victory with Russian (ex?) spy Alexander Lebedev who has a photo of his friend Vladimir Putin on his book?"

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

He is doing this because he knows Brexit is a disaster, it has isolated Britain, made Britain poorer, less influential. He needs extreme forms of hyperbole to cover the gap between that reality and the false utopia that he and others promised.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.
