Qui bono? Who benefits? The answer, when you look closely at the 28-point peace plan, is not Ukraine, not Europe, not ordinary Americans, but the Russian and American oligarchs who have been negotiating behind the scenes writes @anneapplebaum

Britain has set a new wind generation record.
"At 7:30pm on 11 November wind turbines...provided enough clean electricity to power more than 22 million homes"
"Wind was delivering 43.6% of all power on the system which means three quarters of Britain’s homes were effectively running on wind alone"

My father came here 1940 to carry on fight against European nationalism after being wounded as a Polish officer when German nationalists invaded. He became British + died as a result of war wounds 1958. Under Labour’s new policy on refugees he would be dead before being Brutish
The Labour government has released to the media more details of its asylum reforms - to be released on Monday.
Their premise: UK attracts asylum seekers because it is too generous + reducing pull factors will change that.
There is a lot of overspinning from this govt

From NYT: "Poland's admission to the EU in 2004 supercharged growth, providing enormous amount of money to rebuild roads, railways, airports. Access to the Single Market caused a surge in foreign investment, industrial development, and an exchange of knowledge and talent". @labour4europe.bsky.social

Really? Telegraph editors, journalists given up old traditions of rigorous news reporting especially foreign to promote anti European, anti-immigrant, pro Trump Farage-Brexit Tory Weltanschauung. GBNews and DTel presenters/columnists interchangeable
GB News investor and Spectator owner Paul Marshall is in the running to buy the Telegraph now that the RedBird takeover plan has collapsed, the Guardian reports.
Hard to see this being anything other than a disaster for public discourse in Britain if that goes ahead.

I am sure Nigel Farage will be delighted at Gdn comparison with Giorgia Meloni, who moved from far-right Mussolini-heritage politics to PM of Italy
The way she did this was to ditch her hostility to the EU. She found fault with Putin. Right now, Farage is where Giorgia Meloni was 15 years ago.

Erdogan out-Putins Putin as Turkish prosecutors seek more than 2,000 years of prison for Ekrem İmamoğlu, the Mayor of Istanbul and candidate to be president. He’s standing for Labour’s sister party CHP. So far Starmer has not called for his release from detention. Sad
