other reporting - that Russia is trying to rebrand/transfer assets from UK Gazprom subsidiary into a new company to avoid sanctions…

@LBCNews
radio. Will keep you posted on when it will air (unless I miss it while sleeping).
Hello Heidi, No offence intended - dictionary definition describes a prisoner as “a person captured and kept confined by an enemy or criminal” - so while the word could be used, I take your point that “hostage” might be better. PS I work for
@LBCNews
not
@LBC
I just heard
@martinstanford
on
@LBC
describe the hostages held by Hamas as “prisoners”. No my husband’s cousin is not a prisoner. He was in his home in his country when terrorists invaded and murdered his child in front of him. And took him to Gaza. He is a hostage. Fix this.
I'm on
@lbc
at 9.30am discussing how Keir Starmer backed war crimes, then lied about it, then tried to use an Islamic Centre as a political prop, causing them to condemn him.
We'll also discuss Labour's refusal to call for a ceasefire, in defiance of public opinion.
