I saw a great message posted today along Zealand Road, Bow:

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

A great idea to put a £5 deposit on vapes, also NO (nitrous oxide) canisters, to promote recycling. And a bottle and aluminium can deposit, too! https://t.co/YsCH1CWzez

@JFCrisp @cochetel Too many bureaux with too many senior posts were created, creating too many meetings. The sitor and pactor eras could never have supported such bureaucracies

Why over the next two years? Some could go sooner.

Until recently the US resettled some 130,000 refugees a year under schemes to help the most vulnerable. This has been dramatically reduced and now the scheme's focus is on Afrikaners from South Africa - https://t.co/PIYhsPCjeb

@JFCrisp @irwintim Exactly how is "civil society" going to step up and address humanitarian and development needs without greater awareness & outreach?

At the UN Security Council debate on the protection of civilians, over 85 states, led by Jordan, Brazil, China, France, Kazakhstan, and South Africa, along with the ICRC, issued a warning, stating that respect for international humanitarian law is eroding and demands immediate political action.

In response, a High-Level Conference on Humanity in War will take place in Jordan on 7 Dec 2026.
