This is an important step towards using the frozen assets of the Russian aggressor to fund Ukraine through a reparations loan.

Going to be fun watching them try to figure out a way to say "oh we didn't mean dual citizenship with a white country" without sounding like massive racists.
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️
All criminals with dual nationality must be deported, say Tories

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

Where are Somalis in the Epstein Files? Oh wait there aren't.
It was rich men, overwhelmingly white men, who raped girls with Epstein. Allegedly Daddy Trump was Epstein's closest friend for 10 years.
So where are the Epstein Files?
Hit MAGA back and don't let them demonize Somalis. Enough.

Reform may have hit its ceiling, but in a five-party, first-past-the-post landscape, a ceiling just under 30% could still be enough to win power.

Odd and incompetent: Reform hits a ceiling
Polls suggest that Reform support may have peaked, perhaps because it appeals only to a very distinctive, and noisy, minority

We took legal action last year but Spain has issued more fishing licenses for bottom trawling inside these MPAs since then.
So we’re going back to court with @oceanaeurope.bsky.social to protect these zones.
