Sandu emphasized that it is Ukrainians who are truly sacrificing themselves for the sake of peace and security in Ukraine and the EU.
He like operating mostly in the shadows. As he put it “making the bullets for other people to fire”. On the other side of Labour to MMcS, but very similar.

Similarly, I don’t believe Boris Johnson or Cummings went through it.

It’s come up in relation to Peter Mandelson.
I cannot believe he was DV’d for the Ambassador job? If he was something went very badly wrong.
Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.
A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

The trick? Hold the needle steady and rotate the Pen. Took about 15 mins but got there.
New tip fitted. Pen rescued and £100+ saved.
You’re welcome
The tip broke off my Apple Pen.
But it left little plastic collar (on the left) inside the tip-end. Which meant you couldn’t for a new tip. So DEAD PEN?
Not so fast ….
