  5. Sorry, the government chap says, Viktoria appears to have recorded your call, given it to the media and is now on a Russian talkshow with the guys we think murdered Alexander Litvinenko. (Here, have my iPad if you want to watch it.)

  8. The Skripal story is astonishing. For one thing, imagine you're Yulia Skripal. Last thing you remember you were enjoying a perfectly adequate spaghetti carbonara at Zizzi's after a nice drink in the pub with your uncle.

    It’s hard to feel that the decision to let the chief exec of Porton Down science lab speak publicly about what is at heart an intelligence assessment wasn’t a strategic error by British government

    Pres. Trump reiterates no one has been tougher on Russia than he has. On , quips that might be news to some given JFK's naval blockade during missile crisis, Carter boycotting Moscow Olympics & Reagan who spoke of leaving "Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history."
