I had my first ever go at one of those round table talking heads sort of shows, and promised myself ahead of time that I wouldn't turn into a shouting head.

And then one of the panelists said something utterly silly... I didn't shout, but you might be able to hear my eyeroll.

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Another night of horror in Kyiv: russia attacked the capital again, killing at least 6 civilians, and injuring 14 more.

People screaming inside a burning apartment is a nightmare that came true.
