This is quite a big deal Turkey and Russia are not that unevenly matched. Turkey is 60% of population and 65% of GDP. I was surprised by Turkey being (slightly) richer but that's what wiki says.

Wouldn't necessarily be a game-changer everywhere, but these policies could make a real difference in many parts of the country: * 150% council tax premium on second homes * Planning permission to turn residential homes into 2nd/holiday homes * House prices fall by 12% www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Spiked and the IoE's Snowdon are not exactly bedfellows of mine but this is a very comprehensive and effective takedown of Letby's apologists. The last section especially so.

Trudeau's tough response is the easy bit. When US gas prices start to rise and consumers starting wailing, the hard part will be helping Trump walk back while saving him face.

Said this re the grooming gangs and we’re back to the same thing. Unclear what exactly failed in social services/how, bc they’ve been scant with info. But Britain does expect children’s services to be a firewall vs threats it’s appalled by, while entirely deprioritising them the rest of the time

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reassuring to hear from the panel on Kuenssberg that there's absolutely nothing to worry about from the new Trump administration.

The start of this week was wild. Lots of people in Westminster got completely carried away with Tory wishful thinking that Rachel Reeves was about to be replaced. Why did this obviously daft idea get taken seriously? I've figured it out. I blame the noobs. 🧵

Perhaps all those far right Americans might do something about grooming gangs closer to home rather than lying about Britain. But of course they won’t, because they’re not really concerned about child welfare.
