🔴 This could have been funny, only if there wasn't such a dark side to it all.

Here is a clip of Johnson from 2016 making a complete mockery of the influence of #oligarchs on the Conservative party and UK political system. Listen for yourself...

Natalie Elphicke getting her just desserts in Dover today.

Tories don’t like the truth or consequences, she got both.

Max temp of 15.0C yesterday, 18 March 2022 here in Truro. Was the first day this year warmer than the 14.9C on 1 January 2022. Has there ever been a year where 1 Jan held the record as late as this? #temperature

It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to suspend @BBCNews operations in Russia until we assess impact of new laws which outlaw independent journalism. Thoughts with colleagues in Moscow whose voices cannot be silenced for long.

"I don't think it's a strategic pause, I think they've lost control of their invasion," @mccaffreyr3 says as the Russian convoy heading towards Kyiv appears to have stalled.

Usmanov’s palace won’t be seized (unlike his yacht in Germany) because there’s a whole concierge class, close to the Conservative Party, who are reliant on laundering dirty money, now sullied with Ukrainian blood.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Putin's war on Ukraine has entered its next phase, one of destruction and slaughter of civilians. It is also a part of Putin's World War, a war on the civilized world of international law, democracy, and any threat to his power, which he declared long ago. 1/13

Couldn’t be more timely. Can’t wait to listen to “Lord of Siberia” a deep dive into Lord Evgeny Lebedev of Siberia.

I mean, fair play. When it comes to degrading a nation's economy and isolating it on the world stage, their credentials are unimpeachable.

He is, perhaps inevitably, unsanctioned here & still in possession of two massive estates in England & the £700 million he got for his stake in Arsenal. But “we are leading the way” says Boris Johnson.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

This was mine & @TownsendMark’s contribution to Lebedev files. After Russia deployed chemical weapon in Salisbury, Johnson skipped his security at NATO summit & went to Lebedev junior’s Italian villa. We established his father, the KGB agent, flew in too

Italian LEGA leader Matteo Salvini has just removed or restricted access to an old Facebook post of his in which he wore a Putin t-shirt and wrote "I'm in Strasbourg. I'd swap two Presidents Mattarella for half Putin" https://t.co/06tVzpwRkU

Juicy nugget of pure evil:

If you're Ukrainian and currently in the UK on a visitor visa, you'll have to leave and go back to the warzone when it expires, unless you can qualify for a different sort of visa. (Including all docs, processes, fees etc.)

"The West let Mr Putin’s people keep their fortunes in Western banks. All the while the Kremlin decried the moral degradation of the West. Pecunia non olet: money doesn’t smell. Or perhaps, to the contrary—Russian money smelled too good." https://t.co/YaoNyGHcnp
