Great reporting from @sarahrainsford who spoke to someone involved in the plot to send exploding parcels across Europe. He said he never knew he was handling explosives and, like many others, suggests he never knew he was working for Russian intelligence. https://t.co/q23sXIGZPc

Slovakia’s prime minister Fico has been trying to shift his country closer towards Russia. He’s faced heavy resistance, but still has a support base. At the heart of the county’s divide is a battle over historical memory. @ForeignPolicy https://t.co/qCitpEtsyE

Some receipts: on the left is the confirmation from all the way back in May that my media registration was confirmed, and Reform was "excited to welcome you to Birmingham this September".

On the right is an email saying my accreditation is now "declined", sent today.

Is Tommy Robinson importing Christian nationalism from the U.S.? If so, why? Find out in my recent piece for Prospect. Going to be interesting dropping this into the cesspit of hate that Twitter/X has become. Be nice :)

Awkward for Lammy who wants more ‘liberal outrage’ on Sudan but then finds out that more of that outrage actually means he has to answer questions about UK arms sales to the UAE who is supplying weapons.
