We need a plan to fix our soil-affected roads, for good. Visiting Cambridgeshire County Council’s soil-affected roads trial site on Friday, it was fascinating to see the innovative solutions being tested to rebuild these roads for the long-term.

Shameful. Visegrads pulling up the drawbridge. Honourable exception of Poland. 🇵🇱

Polish FM Radosław Sikorski: "There is a myth that has been successfully planted in the West that Russia always wins. But things don't always go their way. They lost the Crimean War. They lost the war against Japan. They emerged from World War I with their tails between their legs.

Polish journalist Mateusz Mazzini says he's seen the (likely classified) read-out from the Norway-Finland-Russia phone call. No surprise: Putin's demands are totally unacceptable. Likely: POL govt leaked it so that all of Europe knows. => Arm Ukraine triple more and no more talking

Some mid life crisis men take up golf. Some start jogging. Or become hipsters. Me, I like to paint Ukrainian flags on ruZZian embassies.

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson: "I think the key must be to support Ukraine. Peace must be on Ukraine's terms. Peace must be achieved from a position of strength, not by appeasing Russia. If talks lead to that, then talks are a good thing.

On @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social today to talk about how we, the United States, are helping Putin in his war against Ukraine.

Today, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language. It is difficult to overstate the importance of a figure like Taras Shevchenko, Ukraine’s great national poet, to the Ukrainian language, literature, and indeed to Ukrainian identity and statehood as a whole.

Let’s get this done fella felines and canines!

From Moldova to Berlin, Russia is testing how far it can push without triggering a response. Learn how our Global Shadow War Initiative aims to get allies off the back foot. https://cepa.org/programs/global-shadow-war-initiative/

🇪🇺🇺🇦 EU is very concerned about the approaching funding gap in Ukraine, — Financial Times. Assistance to Ukraine from partners outside the EU will decrease almost fivefold by 2027 — partner countries that are not members of the EU will allocate only €4B in assistance, which is €15B less than in 2026.

Can public service broadcasting claim impartiality while platforming right-wing populists? The BBC airing 41 minutes of uninterrupted, unchallenged Reform UK speeches right before the Budget surrenders balance for hype. Why hand Farage a free mega-phone? (1/2) 🤔 #FBPE

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

People from Oleshky who wish to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia, according to FT sources‼️ At this point, we can only brace ourselves for a massive Russian propaganda campaign, legitimized on the international stage by Newsmax's presence.

Putin claims Russia wants peace and calls Ukrainians a ‘brotherly nation’.   Meanwhile, Russian missiles and drones continue to strike Ukrainian cities, killing civilians and destroying homes. In a brotherly manner…?

Look! Big matching!

The US has sanctioned the International Criminal Court itself, threatening its access to the banks, insurers and technology it runs on. Robin Teverson asked the government today what the UK is doing in practice to keep the court going and protect its staff.

Farage lies yet again! He says that he never said that he did not want the NHS through taxation, preferring an insurance type system. This clip proves that he clearly did say that. The NHS will never be safe in the hands of Farage’s Reform U.K. party.

Russia's strike on Nova Vodolaha killed not only Angelina in her stroller but also Arina Koval (8). Arina's brother, Artem (12), was critically injured and died in a Kyiv hospital on Oct 26. Their mother survived – but lost both her children.

Behind every Russian missile striking Ukraine is a supply chain that makes its production possible. The EU’s latest sanctions target 1,569 individuals and entities linked to Russia’s military-industrial complex, aiming to disrupt weapons production and limit Moscow’s ability to sustain its attacks.
