This is very funny.
Only yesterday Starmer was swatting away hacks at a press conference who believed they had questions to answer over it.

It’s marvellous.

I’m just back from Ukraine for the third time. As ever so struck and in awe of the bravery, resilience & sense of humour of the people I met. The rallying around to build new organisations and initiatives that save lives and rescue victims of war. The decision to make art, music - to find joy.
