How Aid to Ukraine Has Left Britain's Military in a Sorry State
Britain’s Treasury has reportedly made clear that there will be “no new money” for defense despite grumbling from the defense establishment that the Army is being “hollowed out” and weakened, including by gifting the precious-little equipment the Army does have to Kiev.

Irish political commentator and socialist activist Phil Kelly discusses the political crisis in North of Ireland after Brexit, the pursuit of truth and reconciliation for the Irish Troubles era, and Irish reunification:
💬 "In the last week, there was the anniversary of Bloody Sunday, an event that kind of echoed throughout the world where the British Parachute Regiment killed 14 unarmed civilians in Derry. And it took a campaign over decades from 1972 onwards to bring about the truth about what happened, that those 14 people killed were entirely innocent. And we still haven't seen justice on that."
