Those who were cautious about US intelligence predictions about the Russian invasion of Ukraine are often accused of being Kremlin dupes. So what about this Zelensky bloke? ( all quotations from major U.K. media, mid-February 2022) https://t.co/dUYNW7yiHK — PolitiTweet.org

It is indeed a fascinating question, which I address in the book. Same goes for 6th form colleges. Truth is, selection at 16 and 18 does not lift bright children from poor homes into the best schools and colleges. By these ages, bad schools have already discouraged them. — PolitiTweet.org

.@slstrm_dsgn One of the many failings of the referendum was that it did not elect a Parliament to implement it. So our departure from the EU ended up being handled by people who didn't believe in it, and so over-compensated to prove they were obeying the People's Will. — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoy this picture of a coal-fired power station in China. They are banned here, closed and blown up with explosives.But China builds a new one every few weeks. So what was that about?
