This is such sad news. Almost impossible to imagine such a sparky, intellectually curious, intrepid, lively and likeable man being slowly lost to Alzheimer’s deep in the countryside. Beautiful piece.
Zelensky sends a letter to Putin saying he’s ready to meet him in person to negotiate a peace agreement.
Here are some of the most interesting parts:
“The absolute majority of Ukrainians are positive about the fact that our long-range drones attended the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of over 1,000 kilometers. As you well know, this distance is not the limit of our capabilities”
“The Russian Army’s losses in May are more than 30,000 killed and seriously wounded," 63% of which were killed. In the 21st century, armies can’t afford such numbers”
"Ukrainian and European issues are not resolved in Anchorage."
"If you personally don't come to the conclusion that it's time to end this war, Ukraine will continue to fight for its existence. But you, too, will have to fight much harder for your own existence—not Russia's, but your own. This is not a threat from me or Ukraine. These are facts of Russian history, which you know well: when Russia tires, changes take place”
#ReformUK’s Robert Kenyon on #BBCQT when asked how they’d actually recruit 30,000 new police officers:
“That’s a problem for whoever is recruiting them.”
The audience straight-up laughed in his face.
This is the “serious” alternative to career politicians? Absolute car crash. All slogans, zero clue. 🤡😂
In the early hours (around 2am) of 5 January 2025, on Military Road in Canterbury, this racist thug (then 20, now 21, from Sturry near Herne Bay) approached a woman walking alone.
He initially ran past her but then came back, stood very close, racially abused her (using slurs like calling her a "black ****", asking "What are you doing in this country?" and "Do you enjoy stealing our benefits?"), demanded her wallet, threatened to "shank" (stab) her, and pretended to have a knife by reaching into his waistband.
He threw her shopping on the ground, ignored her pleas, and punched her full force in the face (described by the victim as "like she was a full-grown man"). He then ran off.
The woman was left terrified and in pain; police described her injuries as serious at the time.
Wilson handed himself in about a month later, initially lied, but then admitted it and pleaded guilty to attempted robbery (with racial hostility as an aggravating factor).
On 28 May 2026 at Canterbury Crown Court, he was jailed for 2 years and 5 months. The judge noted the attack on a lone vulnerable woman at night, the racial element, and his intoxication/drug use as key factors.
Tell me again that there is no far-right in England.

Jon you are and always have been a legend. Your decision to share your last big story will do so much to help people afflicted with Alzheimer’s. Sending you and your family love and sharing this picture of the last ever @Channel4News I presented with you in December 2021. ♥️
There really is two tier policing in the UK:
Nathan Gill is in prison for taking £40k in bribes from a Russian based oligarch.
Nigel Farage is NOT in prison for taking £5 million in bribes from a Thai based crypto oligarch.
They tried so hard to suppress this video today.
But because of YOU, it is now TRENDING.
Please RETWEET and QUOTE TWEET this important video reminding us all WHO WE WERE BEFORE TRUMP
Nigel Farage does not speak for us.
He speaks for himself, he speaks for the far right, and he speaks for his billionaire donors.
He is inciting violence and pursuing his own agenda.
We must stand united against hate!
A white man named Chas Chorrigan has just been jailed for life for murdering a Saudi student, Mohammed Algasim, in Cambridge.
There will be no political circus around this. No strong words from Farage. This selective outrage is what causes further division.
BREAKING:
Sir Keir Starmer has accused JD Vance of trying to 'interfere in our democracy' and 'stir up division on our streets' after the vice president blamed Henry Nowak's murder on the 'mass invasion of migrants'
A Number 10 spokesperson said: “In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets.
“The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes.
“Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.”
In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. https://t.co/SSHiAI3Umc
Lady with red glasses, "Nigel Farage took a £5m payment from a crypto billionaire"
"Suddenly, Reform UK are a party for crypto currency"
"How are we to trust that you and your party wouldn't sell this off to the highest bidder"
"When you have a leader who runs your party who say up the IRA for £80"
Fiona Bruce, "I have no idea Nigel Farage said up the IRA for £80"
