A man gunned down in a hail of bullets in the Spanish province of Alicante has been identified as Maxim Kuzminov, a Russian military helicopter pilot who had defected to Ukraine with his aircraft. He was in Spain using a new identity and his body was identified by his fingerprints.
The Kremlin didn't deny he was a target but has since dismissed his death as "irrelevant".

“We ask that the commission undertake an urgent review of whether #Israel is complying with its obligations, including under the EU-Israel association agreement, which makes respect for human rights and democratic principles an essential element of the relationship; and if it considers that it is in breach, that it proposes appropriate measures to the council to consider."

I didn't reply re the Windsor Framework - it's a #Brexshit thing - hope this helps.

Given Hadrian's Wall is entirely in England, any decision to rebuild it would depend on the English government and UNESCO as it's a World Heritage Site!
SPQR!

Streeting's focus is England. Scotland isn't even on his right-wing radar. Either that or he's lifted the idea from Scotland, in which case he would never admit to where it came from....

"Spanish woman removed from UK after returning from Christmas holiday: detained overnight and removed despite presenting Home Office documents showing her right to work and live in UK."
Do you get #Brexit now?
Do you want to be associated in any way with the xenophobic shrivelled up shitshow that is the "United" Kingdom?

British = English.
Britain = England = "The Country".
British + Britain + "The Country" = #Ukania.

It's not only the off-peak fares trial (which has been extended) that's been ignored but also the fact ScotRail and the Caledonian Sleeper operation are now in public hands. And let's not forget how the train staff strikes were handled much better in Scotland.
From the media? Nothing to see here....

With mystie vapouris, cluddis and skyis,

Off sangis, ballattis, and of playis.

With wind, with haill, and havy schouris,
My dule spreit dois lurk for schoir.
My hairt for langour dois forloir
For laik of Symmer with his flouris."

" "The vast majority of those taking part in pro-Palestine protests over the weekend will find it ironic they are being criticised for demonstrating for peace on a day which for many stands as a reminder of the “pointlessness of war... But the far-right has weaponised the symbols of British identity to become “exclusive” markers of “white national identity." "
@TheNational "Why the Tories picked Palestine protests as their latest culture war weapon."

"Labour has seemingly gone from thinking collective punishment and the cutting of food, water and fuel is acceptable to stating that it can be ‘legally justifiable’ to bomb a refugee camp."
