The US wants to grab $500bn in mineral resources from Ukraine in return for military aid. Since 2022 the US has provided $106bn direct aid to the Ukrainian government, of which $67bn was military aid. Seems like a great deal for Washington. fullfact.org/news/us-assi...

A Yougov poll suggests that if Britain were attacked, only 44% believe America would come to our aid under the NATO treaty. No wonder the EU wants its own defence force.

I'd say "Peak Spectator" ..but I'm sure that under Michael Gove there will always be new depths to plumb.. [and yes, the headline is a fair summary of the article]

'We are on the cusp of peace in Europe thanks to Trump', JD Vance claims. Trump brings us peace in our time, no doubt. 'Here is the paper...'

I've just finished reading 'Our American Friend' by Anna Pitoniak and simply can't believe it was written in 2022, before Trump's reelection. It's a thriller that centres on an East European First Lady (Sound familiar?) who is secretly working for the CIA. First class. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #WritingCommunity

If your novel has a prologue and agents are asking for the first three chapters, does the prologue count as a chapter? #WritingCommunity

The US envoy Kellogg has cancelled his press conference following a meeting with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. I can't think why that would be.

Earlier this month Zelensky's approval rating was 57%. Trump's claim that it's 4% is a preposterous lie. www.kyivpost.com/post/47413

'Tone it down, sign that deal,' Waltz tells Ukraine. Waltz is more double-glazing salesman than diplomat.

It's cheaper for the US to host its troops in a foreign country than at home. That's why you won't see the US closing down its overseas bases any time soon. There's nothing altruistic about the US military.

I've just started using Query Tracker for submissions of my middle grade children's novel, The Circle of Friends. Query Tracker provides statistics on agents' responses. What's disheartening is that many agents haven't requested a full manuscript for months or even years! #WritingCommunity
