Russia has once again rained down hundreds of drones and a dozen missiles on Ukraine overnight, striking indiscriminately — including residential areas and the seat of government.
My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
Together with Ukraine and our partners, we stand for peace.
Russia, meanwhile, is locking itself ever deeper into the logic of war and terror.
By Ukraine’s side, we will continue to do everything to ensure that a just and lasting peace prevails.

Really hoping there are enough MPs who take these concerns from the Royal College of Psychiatrists seriously enough that the assisted dying bill falls at Third Reading.
We have serious concerns about the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill for England and Wales and therefore cannot support it in its current form. Our patients are among the most vulnerable in society and need to be sufficiently protected.

Joint statement from @RCPhysicians and @rcpsych sent to all MPs.
It couldn’t be clearer: the Bill does not provide sufficient protection for vulnerable people.
And yet… hundreds of MPs will vote for this Bill based on a campaigning soundbite that it’s ’safest in the world’.

"We are living through a revolutionary change, a broad shift away from the transparency and accountability mandated by most modern democracies, and toward the opaque habits and corrupt practices of the autocratic world"

I love @GylesB1 . I’ve been listening to, watching and reading him for more than 40 years (that I recall). Breaking the Code - the diary of his time in politics and the Whips’ Office is in my top five political diaries.
A happy start to the day on @BBCRadio4 as a guest on @BBCSaturdayLive - lovely chat with Hugh about my Just A Minute book about the English language & lovely enthusiasm for @therosebudpod from Nicky. All thanks to them & producer Gareth!

US Senator Mark Kelly flew 39 combat missions over Iraq. He piloted the Space Shuttle four times. But he went to Kiev and called for the defence of Ukraine. So Elon Musk has branded him a "traitor".

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Winston Churchill in the White House…

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
