Ukraine’s air defence faces a crisis. Russia’s missile and drone production has outstripped Ukraine’s ability to deploy interceptors capable of shooting them down.
Ukraine needs help against Russian missiles now. What more can allies do?
Recent air defence pledges won’t deliver interceptors for years. Europe could help now by providing fighter cover, or by delivering more offensive weapons. Will it act?

They need to keep hammering this into people's skulls and if you aren't willing to listen, OK, up to you. But you're unreachable as a voter, so who cares what you think, we're not pandering to you in the same way we don't pander to people who think the Earth is flat.
Liam Thorp@liamthorp.bsky.social · 3d agoAndy Burnham correctly points out in an interview that small boat crossings are massively down this year compared with last. The comments in the post are filled with people suggesting he is lying about this very clear, data-evidenced fact. It’s almost as though they don’t want it to he true…
Abhorrent business practices aside, I probably would've chosen a name like "Sunny Salads" myself.
Diane Abbott’s naming of the Russian full scale war in Ukraine as “NATO campaign against Russia” is a disgrace. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SMBj...

I don't even care about football, but watching corrupt fuckers at FIFA get a deserved kicking is very satisfying
Very disappointed. My plan to sell shares in Gianni Infantino's soul has been thwarted by the discovery that it's already wholly owned by a venture capital firm run by noted entrepreneur B. Elzebub.
"[N]o UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive, unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership."
Jorge Liboreiro@jorgeliboreiro.bsky.social · 6d ago💣 UEFA eviscerates Gianni Infantino. "The World Cup is not for sale." "This is not merely a profound failure of leadership, but an abdication of FIFA’s duty as the custodian of world football." "We will never lend this model our legitimacy."
Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion alleging its documentary caused him harm to his reputation and brand. So the BBC said, “We want to test that. Show us your finances.” And a magistrate judge agreed. My write-up on how Trump got himself into this pickle, in the comments.
Chris Philp is the political equivalent of a stain on your carpet. Don't know how it got there; can't get rid of it; mostly forget about but when you notice it you get irritated all over again.
"We are on the right side of history. We are on our own land and in our own home. This is my family; this is my country. I love this country, and no one can drive me out of here." - Zelenskyy.
I’m just a simple Internet user, but it seems to me that the UK government shouldn’t use this man’s website for official communications, I dunno.

This morning we visited the Lviv military cemetery. It is hard to convey the scale - but it was an untouched field in 2022 and is now filled with thousands of perfectly maintained graves. In amongst it you spotted family members sitting with their lost loved ones.
I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.
In case you need reminding, this is the man who went into the Brexit negotiations with a bookie's pen and a used envelope and had his pants pulled down so firmly he still waddles around like a penguin to this day
I’ve just spent £15 to send a print to myself and have it irreparably bent along the way. GPSR is a ball ache for tiny businesses (turned back at customs, pay extra for the return. Fuck Brexit.
Laura Kuenssberg, Andrew Neil, and the BBC apparatus which gave Cambridge Analytica a chance to undermine @carolecadwalla.bsky.social’s investigation before it was published, called law breaking ‘rule breaking’, demeaned her as a mad cat lady, and fluffed Farage, deserve all the ignominy of history

Grow the fuck up and act like adult human beings you hysterical whinging self-pitying fucks.
Disappointing speech from Andy Burnham. Nothing about trams, nationalising pies, or contacting sentient life on other planets, and once again, to Labour's continuing shame, no new policy position on owls.
Or much of a drop in public support. Fascinating example of elite consensus switching despite popular opinion.
