Cat check: To be eligible for British citizenship those immigrants will need to have lived in the UK for five years, meaning all of them came when the Conservatives were in government and these rules were in place.

The owners couldn't figure out why the cat wasn't sleeping in it's own bed.... until they saw this 🥺

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

There is an aggressor: Russia. There is a victim: Ukraine. We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so. By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others. Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

No one seemed to object when Churchill turned up at the White House in his war-fighting gear.

London. A meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees. A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision: today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a Loan Agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets. The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine. This is true justice – the one who started the war must be the one to pay. I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such strategic partners and to share the same vision of what a secure future should look like for all. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

24. Although it appears as if it could have been painted yesterday, this artwork is actually over 100 years old. Every detail in this piece (1909 ) by Russian-French artist Zinaida Serebriakova feels astonishingly modern.

Ricky Gervais said it best, twitter is like seeing a poster about free piano lessons on a wall in town, ringing the number and shouting "I don't want piano lessons"... If it doesn't apply to you, move on...

That's it... Another Olympic Games complete! 🤩
