Kyiv’s attacks have disrupted services ranging from email and taxi apps to dating sites and even electronic key fobs for apartment buildings, exposing vulnerabilities created by Moscow’s drive to centralise and control the IT sector. ft.trib.al/oNh8gm7

That would put a whopping smile on my face if reform got just 11 seats …

Fascinating. Kellner combines @yougov.co.uk's latest MRP with its new survey research on tactical voting to suggest that Reform would do much, much worse (and Labour and the Tories considerably better) than the MRP suggests. Deets here: kellnerp.substack.com/p/how-tactic...

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

Just because I strongly oppose any measure to tackle Russian misinformation, doesn’t mean I’m on Russia's side. In unrelated news, one of the few times I bothered turning up for work as an MEP was to vote AGAINST measures to tackle the spread of Russian misinformation...

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Not insignificant that Fox has joined this coalition.

As Liberal Democrat conference gets properly underway our new polling finds that the “Gail’s test” continues to hold true. Lib Dems over perform their national polling by 7 points among those who say they have a Gail’s on their high street, same with Pret!

Asked when the two crypto billionaires moved to the UK (to ensure donations comply with the law), Richard Tice tells #r4today to ‘trust’ Reform’s compliance team. Nick Robinson: “I don’t trust any statement by politicians wanting to bank tens of millions of pounds... I need evidence.”

Of note re: reform’s latest mega donor.

BREAKING: 60 Minutes has shown people saying they can get pardons from Trump for a price. Pardon brokers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said that for $300,000, they could help a felon get a pardon from the president. They said their services included working with influencers to advocate for his case
