As people talk of reshaping of the Middle East in the light of breakdown in relations between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, nobody seems to be interested in South Yemen's separatist movement, at the heart of the dispute. So I thought I'd speak to them. Have a listen!

Just saw the TikTok video of ‘free Palestine’ activists harassing Matt Lucas for the simple fact that he’s Jewish.
I’ve reported the video but again it symbolises how the Palestinian cause has been taken over by anti semites

Sweden's military intelligence just named Russia the #1 threat to Sweden and NATO — "serious, concrete, opportunistic and aggressive." Drone incursions, sabotage, cyberattacks. And Estonia says Russia's artillery output is up 17x since 2022.

As a Londoner I’m off the opinion that the north starts at the High Barnett end of the northern line.
Where do the North and South of England begin?
Based on the answers of 46,000 English people about where they live, the southern border of “the North” is a line roughly from Shrewsbury to Grimsby, while the northern border of “the South” is a line roughly from the Severn to Great Yarmouth
