this is a staggering statistic
Exclusive @JLPartnersPolls >>> — the age at which British voters become more likely to choose the Conservative Party over Labour has soared from 39 at the last election to **70 years-old** — working age voters have turned their backs on the Tories bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I was struck by this quote from @SpeakerJohnson yesterday. Until yesterday, he had yet to make a case for Ukraine aid. And then he unfurled this.
Not exactly the most important thing, but Mark Menzies's suspension as a Conservative MP means the threshold for triggering a confidence vote in Rishi Sunak has fallen from 53 MPs writing letters to 52
🚨 || Mark Menzies MP (Fylde) has lost the Conservative whip after allegedly using campaign funding to pay for medical expenses and a ransom payment after being locked in a flat by 'bad people'. The Government's official majority now stands at 43. electionmaps.uk/parliament
🔺 EXCLUSIVE: A Tory MP is under investigation over allegations that he misused campaign funds and abused his position after making a late-night phone call saying he’d been locked up by “bad people” who were demanding thousands of pounds | ✍️ @billykenber thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-m…
Spoke with President @ZelenskyyUa on #Ukraine's urgent needs & #NATO support. Delays in aid have consequences on the ground every day. So my message to Allies is clear: Send more to Ukraine. We also agreed to convene the NATO-Ukraine Council this Friday.
I’ve spoken to a few House Republican Ukraine/israel supporters this morning. Patience is running *very* thin with Johnson. Most are giving Johnson time to put out a plan. But more and more Republicans are eyeing a discharge petition.
.@EmmanuelMacron & his Govt are in real trouble. Le Pen’s party now leads his centrist alliance by *13 points* in polls ahead of European elections, not 10 points. A defeat of that magnitude on June 9 will lead to a volley of confidence votes in the National Assembly in June/July

Interesting new Mandiant report. Shows that GRU-linked hackers may have messed with control systems at water utilities in the US & Poland (17-18 Jan), and credibly claimed (2 Mar) to have interfered with a dam in France. This is not normal. services.google.com/fh/files/misc/…
The police shut down of the National Conservative conference in Brussels is a disturbing attack on civil liberties. If you support the right of the state to shut down your opponents, you legitimise the state wanting to shut you down, too.
Within a week police intervened to shut down two conferences in Europe: a pro-Palestine conference in Berlin and, yesterday, the National Conservatism conference in Brussels. Not only does this signal the EU’s inexorable slide from soft to hard fascism. But it should make it…
It is perfectly possible - and important - to be open to ideas you disagree with, and also laugh at people whose ideas are not even mutally coherent and are riddled with basic factual errors and logical confusions.
Liz Truss may be an imperfect messenger, but the response to her book highlights one of Westminster's biggest flaws - it has stopped listening to ideas it doesn't agree with: inews.co.uk/opinion/laughi…

For anyone hoping for an interest rate cut anytime soon, today’s inflation data will be… frustrating. It’s not that CPI inflation (the annual rate at which prices are changing) isn’t coming down. It did: from 3.4% to 3.2% in Feb. But economists were expecting a bigger fall…
In the year to March 2024: ▪️ Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) rose by 3.8%, unchanged from February ▪️ Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 3.2%, down from 3.4% in February. ➡️ ons.gov.uk/economy/inflat…
Another horrible Russian missile attack today, this time on downtown Chernihiv in northern Ukraine. At least 11 people killed and 22 injured. Our support can make a difference in this fight. Our support can save lives. But we must act now.
According to John Bolton, Trump said "Ukraine tried to take me down. I'm not fucking interested in helping them." He certainly isn't.
While president, Trump pushed to have Russia readmitted to the G7/8 (they were expelled over the annexation of Crimea); praised Russian infrastructure spending on Crimea; and reportedly told other leaders that Crimea is Russian "because everyone there speaks Russian".
Liz Truss's characterisation of this issue is incorrect. As president, Trump was personally opposed to US military aid to Ukraine until he was told it would benefit US business. He then, of course, infamously suspended that aid over the lack of a 'quid pro quo' on Hunter Biden.
Astonishing doublethink from Truss here. Praises Trump for arranging initial arms exports to Ukraine. Conveniently omits to mention that no-one has been more instrumental in slowing or stopping American military support, via his influence in Congress, than Trump himself.
Let no-one tell you what Johnson and House Republicans are pulling over Ukraine is just cosmetic. This is bad for America, bad for NATO, and *devastating* for Ukraine.
