Anyone know the details of the Ukraine refugee scheme? I found this easily enough: All Ukrainians coming through these schemes will be given leave for at least one year, be allowed to work and have access to public services, she added. Leveling Up Secretary Michael Gove will be placed in charge...

It is interesting. Have just subscribed (with a securely throw-away email address).

Perhaps, at some point, China will see how heavily their sales of, well everything, are hit. Obviously, many Russians will either buy immediately (while they still have roubles with some value) or never. And the economic impact on the rest of the world will also reduce sales.

I did NOT, and do not, object to Russians being helped.

Found hanging in the garage is both entirely possible - and feasible - and could be extremely sinister. I think a PM is inevitable - but how comprehensive? Full radiation, in depth toxicology, and so on. Some people could even have been lured into co-operating - if you kill yourself, we'll let...

A bit more has been found out - but not enough for full clarity. Roman Abramovich’s funds for war victims will not only go to Ukrainians Chelsea owner has pledged to help ‘all victims of the war’ Sources leave open possibility of assistance for Russians...

Font of all truth, the Mail, says: Disaffected Russian FSB agents 'tipped off Ukraine about Chechen hit squad sent to kill Zelensky before assassins were 'neutralised' Oleksiy Danilov, Ukraine's Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, said the unit 'which came to kill our...

If I were Putin, I'd consider assassination my single biggest threat. Whether by physical, chemical, radio-active element, or other means. Polonium 210 would seem a singularly appropriate weapon.

I read that some of the Russian ships which had been intended to go to the Black Sea were not assigned to a Black Sea port - hence could be blocked by Turkey.

If it turns out that there really is a sizeable net profit to go to the victims of the war, then it does appear generous. The wording also allows that some of the money could go to families in Russia, or to Russian veterans, etc. I'm not going to say that is wrong, especially those who ended up...
