Russia has found a way to overwhelm Ukraine's air defences with Iranian drones and Chinese engines. Kyiv is bracing for its hardest winter yet.

$300bn of Russian assets sit frozen in western banks. We must now put them to work for Ukraine.

Jim Ratcliffe in a nutshell.

[European Unity #FBPE #RejoinEU🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦#NAFO @EuropeanUnity1]

Jim Ratcliffe, who backed brexit then immediately moved to Monaco to avoid £4 billion in tax, says Britain is on the slide

Maybe it wouldn't be if selfish hypocrites like him paid their taxes

Coming from the man who moved to Monaco to dodge a £4 billion tax bill.

Jim Ratcliffe, a billionaire parasite, attacks the most vulnerable in society to protect his own class interests.

He should actually just focus on getting a win at Old Trafford.

It would have been right for Donald Trump to ask Putin not to kill Ukrainian children, women, and elderly people.

But instead, he decided to ask Zelensky not to strike Russian oil infrastructure.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning. What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways. So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic.

When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Why won’t we unfreeze Putin’s cash and give it to Ukraine? There is more than €140 billion in a Belgian bank account - and about £10 billion in London. Britain could show a lead.

The Ukrainians are going to win - that much was clear from the last three days in their wonderful country. But we will get this dreadful war over much faster if we all get serious and give them what they need and deserve.

Notice how barely any newspapers have mentioned the Reform scandal? Not one front page. Farage doesn’t usually struggle to make the news.

This is how the media operates. That’s why I call for press regulation. They’re apparently ‘against him’ yet close ranks to protect him.

Witkoff: "President Putin, thank you so much for having us. We were sitting outside just now, me, Jared, Kirill, Yuri, and we were talking about, when we retire, we'll have all these incredible stories and memories, and yours will be right at the top of it all."

Just sickening! So much butt-licking toward a literal war criminal.

Your stories will be of trying to force the victim of horrible aggression to surrender while cozying up to the biggest monster of our time.

POST OFFICE BANKRUPTED A MAN FOR ASKING FOR HELP 91 TIMES

Lee Castleton spent 9 years in the RAF, then worked as a stockbroker in the City. In 2003 he and his wife decided they wanted a slower life for their two young kids. They sold their home and bought a small Post Office branch in Bridlington, on the seafront.

Within a year the dream job turned into a nightmare. His accounts started showing losses that made no sense. So he did the responsible thing and called the Horizon helpline. Then he called it again. And again. 91 times in 12 weeks, begging someone to explain where the money was going.

Nobody could tell him. The Post Office's answer to being told 91 times that their own system was broken was to audit him, suspend him, and demand he pay back 25,000 pounds he never touched.

Castleton had no money left for a lawyer so he represented himself in the High Court, alone, against an organisation with a government sized legal budget. He lost. The Post Office then chased him for 321,000 pounds in legal costs and bankrupted him.

That is the reward for reporting a fault 91 times. Bankruptcy.

The fallout went well beyond the shop. His kids were bullied at school. His daughter was spat at because people in town assumed her dad was a thief. His wife's health suffered under the strain. All because a computer system got the maths wrong and nobody at the top wanted to admit it.

In 2019 Castleton was one of over 550 former postmasters who won a group settlement of 58 million pounds. He personally received 20,000 pounds, a rounding error next to what the case cost him. He was even locked out of a mediation scheme the Post Office ran for people who believed they had been wrongly pursued.

Years later former Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells told the Horizon IT Inquiry under oath that Castleton's treatment was unforgivable. She also said she had likely signed off on the 300,000 pound bill that ruined him. Unforgivable is one word for it. There are others.

Castleton is now suing the @PostOffice and @fujitsu_uk for up to 8 million pounds, arguing the original 2007 judgment against him was obtained by fraud. In May 2026 the Court of Appeal ruled his case should be heard as one trial instead of being split into pieces designed to bury it in cost and delay. A small win. Nearly two decades late.

He wanted a quieter life running a post office by the sea. Instead he became one of the clearest examples of what happens when an institution would rather bankrupt an innocent man than admit its software was broken.

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

Let me say this very directly.

Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.

The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.

Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

Pakistan has its own space programme, yet we send it £133 million a year in aid while shutting down Britain's largest space telescope because we “can't afford” a few million.

This telescope helped inspire generations of scientists.

If we keep cutting investment in our own scientific infrastructure while other nations push ahead, we'll only fall further behind.

I hope this decision is reversed. Britain should be investing in its future, not dismantling it.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The revelation that Sunak has paid £1M in tax in the last 3 years 0.13% of his £720m wealth.

While the average person has paid about £45k or 14%, 100x as much.

Should open your eyes to just how much and how blatantly the rich dodge tax

Paredes and Romero did the same thing to Bellingham. They’re sore losers who can dish it out but can’t take it.

They celebrated in Bellingham’s face as if they’d won it all, yet couldn’t handle Rodri celebrating in front of them.💀😭 https://t.co/4Ryc1pqitV

🚨🗣 Jose Mourinho on Messi and Argentina:

"This world cup actually exposed Messi and Argentina, they're not a good team, just reckless tackles which the referee ignores most of the times"

"Imagine having 0 shot on target in 2 hours of playing football, that says everything about them, they aren't that good and if not for some help, they wouldn't have reach the final"
