The days of spreading night soil on fields are gone. The array of medicines and chemicals flushed down the toilet or sink bear no resemblance to those bygone days. That doesn't cover the medication given to animals then spread on fields in slurry. Why hasn't this been investigated before now?

The whole “russkiy mir” in 14 seconds.
Russian soldiers laugh and film themselves standing in the ruins of Pokrovsk — ruins they created.
One of them says, “We’re off to glory and adventure.”
This is what their “adventure” looks like: destroying homes, cities, and lives.
Nothing heroic.👇

⚡️ Russia’s math in Donbas is delusion.
📌 Russia is suffering 170 to 180 casualties per km² gained.
📌 8,400 km² left = 1.3 to 1.5 million more dead.
👉 Moscow doesn’t have the manpower or logistics to take the rest of Donbas.
🔥 Why would Ukraine 🇺🇦 just give it to them?

We don't see enough of this on mainstream media. Ukraine is winning through systematic destruction of Putin's war funding mechanism. It's oil terminals, rail lines carrying resources to Russian soldiers, oil loading jetties on Russian coast, the Russian tanker fleet. Big gas/oil 70% down on 2024.

On Sky Politics Hub, the whole budget was framed as if somehow the most consequential thing was the OBR accidentally publishing figures an hour early. There are 50 things in there more salient to viewers. I see no way to justify it editorially, other than to construct a hostile narrative. Poor.
