So now that Twitter is X, does that mean tweets are now kisses?

@sminnee So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother, Sam. My thoughts are with you and your family.

After the early bricks but before smartphones, there was a stretch where phone design went absolutely catshit bananas (1/?)

@EssexPR You must be expecting labour to be in power for a long time if you think it's guaranteed you'll die under a labour government...

@TonyParsonsUK Point being? People earning £150k don't even pay anything in the highest tax band, so society obviously doesn't consider them "super rich" either.

@willmorgan Let's hope it stands for winning elections. How close to the centre was Labour the last time they won an election, and how far from it were they last time they lost to an incompetent Tory leader?

Idealism won't win elections, Tories are proof of that.

The PM could be photographed on a rocking horse, dressed as Stalin, drinking neat gin from a glass sculpture of a food bank and Michael Fabricant will say 'I know some teachers who did that' and that will be that because nothing matters.

It is amazing how many pundits think the way to avoid WWIII is to do the exact same things we did before WWII.

Tiptoe around the madman for fear of angering him. Leave his early victims to ruin. Telegraph a refusal to respond to even the worst of atrocities.

@rbbttsn Plastic!

Excellent. Excellent. Orban and Erdogan have outwardly moved their support against Putin. When you’ve lost these two countries, it’s only a matter of time. Standing strong with Ukraine.

[Mujtaba Rahman @Mij_Europe]

The political & policy reversal in Europe over SWIFT over last 24h is without precedent

It suggest EU cd be willing to stomach significant economic consequences to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine

Says something v imp about how 🇪🇺 is seeing & responding to events

Occurs to me these anti-war demonstrations in Russia would be illegal in the UK under the proposed Police and Crime Bill.

I have no idea what the situation in the rest of Kyiv is yet, but I can see from my window that this city is still standing, still resisting, unbent, unbroken and unbowed.

Whatever happens next, don’t ever let your children forget what happened here.

Kyiv fought back.
