Isn't the Skylight Iranian linked and sanctioned by the US? Not sure why Iran would attack it.

If we're really lucky, we won't see him anywhere for a while.

Wonder if they'll be complaining when Plaid Cymru sends material out in Welsh?

I can't imagine that the sexual harassment rumours are helping though.

I'm hurtling towards the end of 'The Devils' by Joe Abercrombie and loving it.

Perhaps Starmer has seen the danger of siding with anyone named in the Epstein Files

Probably too small to read if you're using a phone, but it says 1,104 at the bottom of the graphic.
