Everybody knew Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum - the evidence was there - but people were too afraid of Farage’s mob to say it. So it’s good to see Burnham finally speaking the truth.

I guess we know what the “quo” is for the “quid” of Russia ostensibly supplying diesel to the U.S.

Crowds took to the streets of Dublin to protest Trump’s visit to Ireland, with demonstrators invoking Trump’s ties to Epstein and his alliance with Netanyahu.

Many people don’t realise this is not a joke. There’s a chance, a slim one, for regime change in one of the parties that is part of the global Far Right network.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out. #JeremyClarkson

Do you ever get the feeling the world’s gone crazy? With this in mind, I play the Flintstones theme in the style of the Russian classics.
