Keir Starmer has authorised an "urgent" review into the extent of foreign interference in British politics as he prepares to change the law to tighten donation rules.

That’s good news but a full public inquiry into Russian interference in UK politics and democracy is still needed
🚨A Petition calling for a full, public inquiry into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN UK POLITICS AND DEMOCRACY has hit the threshold for a debate, but a debate isn’t automatic. MPs need to show support.

Email your MP NOW & ask them to publicly support the call for a Commons debate

In late 2021, there were a lot of smart people using their sound judgment to say "Russia isn't going to invade Ukraine, they can't conquer it all before the West mobilises, and the costs will be too high. Putin isn't that crazy". Those were well-founded assessments, and Russia invaded anyway.
I'm saying that if Russia has struggled to invade eastern Ukraine then it is not going to get anywhere in Poland, is it?

Your second point is bizarre. Zelensky's opponent was an anti-Russian hardliner? In 2010, eastern Ukraine voted overwhelmingly for Viktor Yanukovych.

Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.

Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.

There's your difference

Really interesting speech today by new MI6 boss Blaise Metreweli, suggesting a tougher more pro-active focus in the world we’re in now, a grey zone “between peace and war”.

More James Bond than it’s been for a while. Action first.
