@F1 And still hasn’t worked out the responsibility that comes with being one of the most successful drivers of all time. Still zero class (mostly towards his dedicated and incredibly talented engineering team). He should know better…….

@OllieHolt22 Shocking. Appeal should have been withdrawn….

Re: "Switzerland Style Deal"

Have we learned nothing in 6 years?

You can and should ignore any Times/Telegraph story wherein "sources" say government ministers have unilaterally and without consultations with the EU decided on a new <country>-model form of EU-UK relations.

@MercedesAMGF1 stop over thinking it…..

@DmitryOpines The advice ‘stay in your lane’ has never been more apt….

Great summary, read on….

Follow up thread on Russian force availability and long-term prospects. The Russian military has taken significant casualties. After redeploying, and pulling additional units from standing formations, it may be tapped out of available forces, for now. Thread 1/

Two weeks since the Russian invasion of #Ukraine began. Today I will examine the discovery of ‘old truths’ about war, and how it has impacted on leadership in this particular conflict. 1/25

Amazing unity & bravery….

[Matthew Luxmoore @mjluxmoore]

Amazing footage from Melitopol of Ukrainians stopping the onward advance of a Russian convoy and chanting “Occupants!” and “Murderers!” The jittery Russians are firing into the air

Three thoughts, adapted from my book The Art of Sanctions, on the Russia campaign thus far:

1) It's still early days, but the cohesion of the coalition facing Putin right now is remarkable. Coordination has been tight and messaging consistent. 1/9

How long can Russia endure Western sanctions? A THREAD based on my research on the political economy of Russian grand strategy. Data from @WorldBank, @IMFNews and Russian Ministry of Finance. 1/

New @AP reporting tonight: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer. An American official tells me Zelenskyy said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”

[Alec Luhn @AlecLuhn]

Wow. It seems the Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island really did tell Russian warships to "go to hell" before they were killed. @unian

[Alyn Franklin @AlynFranklin]

@talkSPORT Poor. Has he been reading the Boris handbook? Part of the attraction of F1 for me is watching leaders such as him, Toto et al demonstrating their capabilities under the most extreme scrutiny. This does not pass muster…
