Thank you @EditorsUK for naming @Telegraph's 'Ukraine: The Latest' their 'Podcast of the Year.' It was a happy but bittersweet moment, as @DomNicholls and I felt someone was missing up there on stage. David, wherever you are: this one's for you.

🚨This is the story of how UK & EU goods are STILL going into Russia in vast quantities, despite sanctions. Of how the economic war waged by the G7 is failing. Of how I witnessed sanctions rules broken in plain sight. But above all else it’s the story of a chart... 🧵

In the last 24 hours, two of our leading media sources (NYT & WSJ) have produced research pieces with hard data on why the U.S. should ban TikTok. Here is the NYT's killer chart. Tiktok systematically censors 80-99% of posts on certain viewpoints, relative to Instagram. 1/3

This is broadly the picture across pollsters right now, but important not to forget how unprecedented this is. In 1997, Tories still led on some key issues (economy, Europe). Today, they lead on no issues and are far behind on the ones people care most about.
