❗️🇬🇧 Britain is developing a new ballistic missile system for Ukraine called Nightfall. The missile will carry a 200-kilogram warhead and have a range of 500 kilometers, capable of striking deep into Russian-held territory. Designed for rapid vehicle launch, it can be fired in quick succession before Russian forces can respond.
The UK Ministry of Defence is investing £9 million into the initial phase to build and test three missiles. Defence Secretary John Healey described it as a strategic step to enhance Ukraine's ability to defend by hitting back.
This horrifying footage must be seen by the entire world. For years, Russia has been misleading the West with talk of its “commitment to peace” and its “desire to end the war,” while at the same time carrying out a bloody terrorist slaughter in Ukrainian cities every single day.
I'm watching this part of the UK Covid 19 Inquiry - decisions made about schools back in 2020/21 - with particular interest.
But I just can't comprehend that, more than 5 years on, the current Government is STILL doing nothing to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in schools.
Apologies to all the people I was following as I have just unfollowed you. Nothing personal, I just want this account to be as boring for me as possible, to make deleting the account easier.

In what I believe might be one of the most satisfying pieces of news you'll be reading today, the Moldovan authorities (I'm guessing with some outside help) managed to get substantial information on the Promsviazbank - one of the banks used by the Russians to mass purchase votes in order to influence the Moldovan elections.
To get a sense of the scale of what Russians attempted to do here, the amount of votes purchased (at least through this bank) amounts to 138k, meaning roughly 9% of the total votes cast in this election. The total suspected number goes as high as 300k votes, when accounting for all the other banks and means used by the Russians.
Because getting a wire transfer right now from a sanction Russian might just be the worse way to go about doing this, the Moldovan authorities were apparently able to identify all the 138k people that have sold their votes. The first 400 of the bunch have already been fined with about $1500 each, roughly 10 times the sum of money they sold their vote for.
The "recruiters" and "heads" of this operation have also been identified and are looking at ample "me time" to reconsider their choices in all the comfort a Moldovan prison can pamper you in.

Twitter isn't getting rid of block because Elmo has some free speech bullshit. They aren't getting rid of block because Elmo had his feelings hurt.
They are getting rid of block because it is one of the most computationally demanding features on the platform, and the rampant increase in bot accounts has caused more people to block more things.
🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there.

The covid inquiry is already showing what many of us knew.
N95 masking is effective.
Air filtration in schools & hospitals are effective.
We have a new government - @UKLabour need to acknowledge this ASAP.
And take action.
Because the same crap is going to cut no mustard.
@muppet_media@edwinhayward Yes. (Just been trying to figure out how the UK has done out of it so far given the merger with Eutelsat but I can't tell from the Wikipedia article.)
The IPC cell knowingly denied the science & lied about it to EVERYONE. And thousands died & 199,000 HCW in UK were permanently disabled with lives destroyed. And worse still….we STILL have NO AIRBORNE IPC in hospitals & HCWs & patients are STILL becoming disabled by lack of 1/
@edlonguk@edwinhayward If they are already VAT registered they will currently be able to reclaim VAT on any relevant purchases, so when VAT is charged on fees, then that is exactly how much their costs will increase, hence reasonable to pass it all on.
UK ministers rule out joining youth mobility scheme with EU
Report that EU proposal on work and study for under-30s could be revisited is denied by government
Please retweet if you demand that the government drop its grovelling subservience to the right-wing press and the dwindling minority of hard-core Brexit xenophobes.
Our Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. We demand that it is restored in accordance with the will of the majority.

@heatpolicyrich I think it's a bit early to come to a fair conclusion because most of these earnings were before he became an MP. The next few updates will be more revealing.
