https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-61475899 Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is to set out the UK government's strategy for changing the post-Brexit trade deal for Northern Ireland. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said an "insurance" policy was needed to fix the deal on how goods enter Northern Ireland from the UK. He agreed the deal with the European Union in 2019 after the Brexit vote. But a row over its impact on trade has created a block on forming a devolved government in Northern Ireland. ...the comedy of errors rolls on and the bullshit deepens

 

I remember back when the cheap Russian cars began arriving in the UK, it wasn't long before they became a familiar sight, mostly broken down at the roadside

His ministers spend so much time concentrating on their fiddles and backhanders they don't have time to take care of the real matters

This is appalling https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61442387 Since Russian forces were pushed back from Kyiv at the end of March, the bodies of more than 1,000 civilians have been discovered in the Bucha region - many hastily buried in shallow graves. The BBC's Sarah Rainsford has been investigating what happened at a children's summer camp - now being treated as a crime scene. It is easy to miss the killing spot at first in the gloom. But in a cold, damp basement on the edge of the woods that made Bucha a popular get-away spot before the war, five Ukrainian men were forced to their knees and shot in the head. To the right of the entrance, there are stones coated in blood that has turned dark red. Lying among that is a blue woollen hat with an exit hole in one side and its rim soaked in blood. In the wall, I counted at least a dozen bullet holes.
