Putin, the baby-murdering kind of humanitarian.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian -- you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

Jag bad Claude (sic) ta fram siffror på hur välfärdsstatens andel av BNP utvecklats under Macrons tid vid makten. För att möta bilden av de enorma nedskärningar som ska ha gjorts.

Single corgis always look wrong to me. They should come in flocks!

[James Savage @SavLocal]

Would love to have seen what it looked like inside the Daimler. She must have been completely buried in corgis.

“Be truthful, not neutral” is excellent advice for a journalist.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Christiane Amanpour, one of CNN’s most recognizable faces, is leaving the network after 43 years. ‘Remember: always be truthful, not neutral,’ she said in a statement announcing her departure. https://t.co/EzIEcPhEl6

Is the neoliberal French state that is oppressing the citizenry in the room with us right now?

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

It is now quite obvious that Trump wants Ukraine to lose the war for its survival and, consequently, that he wants Russia to win.

[James Savage @SavLocal]

This is so true. And I’d add cheese (it’s up there with France).

[Renaud Foucart @RenaudFoucart]

Things England is world leading at but does not talk about :

1. 15 yo maths and reading
2. Intergenerational mobility of migrants
3. Super controversial marches with minimal violence

Things that are meh but people are proud of: the NHS, the Empire, the stolen artifacts

[Naomi O'Leary @NaomiOhReally]

I think “calme et joyeux partout quand les policiers ne sont pas là” may mark a turning point in the French presidential campaign

La France de Jean-Luc Mélenchon

The people who did this are not worthy of their democracy. Thuggery.

No hiding it now. A Molotov-Ribbentrop pact for our times

[James Savage @SavLocal]

Brilliant comic timing.

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

A journalist asked Zelensky: “Don’t you think Trump has made you a scapegoat for his own problems?”

The Ukrainian president smiled knowingly and replied: “That is my answer.”

The room erupted in laughter and applause.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Reminder: Putin’s the bad guy.

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

Party to celebrate Ian Hislop's 40 years as editor of Private Eye & 65 years at the magazine. Has anyone currently in public life held the same job for longer? The Eye is the greatest journalistic institution of my lifetime. Long may Ian and the Eye reign.

[Expressen Ledare @ExpressenLedare]

LEDARE: Nya siffror bekräftar trenden. Slutsatsen är uppenbar.

[Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson @HenrikOscarsson]

Fem partier har tillsammans majoritet med 187 mandat. Med alla röda linjer och så länge storkoalition M-S inte är aktuellt så är detta majoritetsunderlag faktiskt det enda återstående. Ändå ger detta fempartiunderlag minst 31 (!) teoretiskt möjliga kombinationer. Trevlig helg!

Finally one billionaire with some balls.
