@scribblercat @ELINTNews This could happen of course. However, the appetite of the Russian public for this sort of devastation wreaked against Ukraine will be a lot less than for it in Chechnya. Russian TV won’t show it but the news will seep out.

@Peston The vast majority of Tory MPs have given up the idea of the Party winning the GE. They are focused on their own seats. Where local council results are available things are really grim even for MPs like Mercer and Mordaunt. The ground is shaking under their feet.

@Sime0nStylites @SophyRidgeSky Patel’s line on first safe country implies that the front line states- Spain Italy and Greece- should take the lot. That is completely unreasonable. The alternative to Rwanda is a deal with the EU where we agree to process in France those claiming close family links.

@RALee85 I can’t imagine Kyiv accepting severe limitations on its armed forces and I think Putin will be very reluctant to withdraw from the land bridge between Russia and Crimea and the extension of the puppet entities in the Donbass. No grounds for optimism at the moment.
