This latest destruction of Putin's navy demonstrates that those who believe there's a stalemate in the Ukraine war are wrong!
They haven't noticed that over the past 4 months 20% of Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been destroyed.
Russia's dominance in the Black Sea is now challenged and the new UK & Norway led Maritime Capability Coalition is helping to ensure Ukraine will win at sea.
Ukraine says it has carried out an air strike on the port town of Feodosia in Crimea.
Mykola Oleshchuk, commander of Ukraine's air force said that the attack destroyed a Russian Navy vessel known as the landing Novocherkask ship.

Headingley never fails to deliver.
Although it won't in 2027. Neither will Old Trafford or Durham.

Had my ceremony earlier today! And mostly it was lovely thanks to the people at @hackneycouncil. They were so welcoming, and made sure multiculturalism and respect was at the heart of it.. proud to have lived in Hackney so many years and become British at the town hall.

It’s not “a mad right-wing conspiracy theory” to question if a senior civil-servant, who conducted an investigation that ultimately resulted in the resignation of the Prime Minister, joining the opposition party soon after, is appropriate.

Sadly my father, Sir Bernard Ingham, passed away today aged 90 after a short illness. My family would like to thank his nursing home, Tupwood Gate in Caterham, Surrey, and his previous carers when he lived at his home for their wonderful care and support.

Hard to take in that today was my last day teaching at Kingston University. @Kingstonjourno has been my professional home since September 2015, and I feel so lucky that I landed in such an excellent journalism department. (1/3)
