A little bit of Bertrand Russell to remind us of how the world is organised.

@TUIUK what’s happening with the Zakinthos flight to Newcastle now?

@craftginclub waiting since 3 March for my welcome order/1st box. Shocking customer care. 8 emails later still not sent out. #avoid #poorservice #gin

@TONYxTWO Wow just wow. How unevolved you and your supporters are Tony to not understand the big picture - worse not care to understand it. #Zelensky is a world hero, a man with honour and integrity. Standing up for democracy, freedom & human rights. Trump/Vance were spouting Kremlin lines

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

The heroic fight of Ukraine against Russia’s war of agression is about the existence of Ukraine as a nation. We in Finland understand what Ukraine is going through.

Ukraine is fighting not only for her independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also for European security, freedom and the rules-based world order. Ukraine and its democratically elected leaders deserve all our respect and support.

We will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.

@ZelenskyyUA

Ukrainan urhoollisessa puolustustaistelussa on kyse koko kansakunnan selviytymisestä. Suomalaisina me ymmärrämme tämän.

Paitsi itsensä puolesta, Ukraina taistelee myös Euroopan turvallisuuden ja sääntöpohjaisen maailmanjärjestyksen puolesta. Ukraina ja sen demokraattisesti valittu johto ansaitsevat kaiken arvostuksemme ja tukemme.

This is what a real president looks like

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

It’s Windrush Day. Sixty-nine years ago Sidney McFarlane arrived in Dover from Jamaica. Now he’s back, with an important message for Sunak and Starmer

[Andrew MacKinnon Foundation #Forever15 @Forever15AMF]

This happened round the corner from my old house in Dunfermline today 😳 Well done to the lad who jumped the counter and put a stop to it, I believe he works in the shop and goes by the name Bob 👏🏼

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

Dunfermline - how the Scottish deal with a robber in a local shop

#ITVDebate unfortunately it was a very poor format. @julie_etch did well but format resulted in a lack of intellectual debate.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Sunak "For the first time in UK history pensioners will pay tax". Is very inaccurate phrasing. Pensioners do pay tax just like everyone else. What he's talking about is paying tax if you get the full State Pension and have no other income. #ITVdebate

[Alison Cairns @acairns]

#ITVdebate time constraints on questions are irritating and setting a very tense, shouty uncomfortable watch.

[PGA TOUR @PGATOUR]

Speechless after his first PGA TOUR win.

@Robert1Lefty and his dad can't believe it ❤️

I know political campaigning is tough - but:
DON’T let the microphones be set up so you are filmed with a crane coming out of your head
DON’T be filmed underneath an exit sign
And as for going to visit where the Titanic was built…….

[Alison Cairns @acairns]

Yes 🙌🏻 💚

Jeremy Hunt just announced a huge tax cut for landlords.

Reminder: Hunt owns seven flats. Watch our investigation.
