BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down.

Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed?

This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.

The premise on which Nigel Farage bases his argument for leaving the ECHR wholly fails under scrutiny
Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.

The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.
