Headington Co-op closes permanently tomorrow (Saturday 3 January 2026) after 134 years in Headington. It occupied the present Finders Keepers building from 1892, and moved from there to its present site in 1979. There is more on its history here: https://t.co/UJCgeiPlE5
My friend went to A&E yesterday morning… barely able to breathe. Guess where he’s now? Still in A&E not even on a bed after 36 hrs. I’m sorry but there’s no way Tories aren’t neglecting NHS on purpose. And
hard right think tank 1828, headed by Dido Hardings husband have wanted to privatise for years.
@waitrose sent me 8 vouchers so I thought I would use them. Picked the items and tried to pay but limit is 2. Giving with one hand and taking back with the other. That is the way to lose customers. You can understand that they have lost the plot.

Why Russia will lose this war?
Much of the "realist" discourse is about accepting Putin's victory, cuz it's *guaranteed*. But how do we know it is?
I'll argue that analysts 1) overrate Russian army 2) underrate Ukrainian one 3) misunderstand Russian strategy & political goals🧵
What strikes me in the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine are the similarities to the Winter War (1939-40) against Finland. However, I'm afraid the end result could be similar as well - but it doesn't need to be. A THREAD.
