    By the way, the Russian ambassador is on the phone and is offering consular assistance.

    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.)

    They give you a burner phone and you call your cousin Viktoria back home in Moscow.

    Next thing the room is spinning and you're waking up in the hospital, with a chap at the end of your bed saying he's from the British government and we're terribly sorry but we think Russia has tried to kill you with a rather ghastly nerve agent.

    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.

    Fascinating story. Which must not be used to lessen the tragedy that befell the LGBT world at Pulse.

    This is one of the most incisive, searing social commentaries you will read all year. And yes, the facts here seem to have been totally buried in the rush to judgment.

    Awful news from my neighbourhood tonight. Feels like we are nearing a tipping point. After years of cuts to police budgets, Londoners will demand to know why their political leaders have failed to protect the city’s young people from dying on the streets every other night.

    There's been another stabbing in Morning Lane, Hackney this evening, and another young person has died. Unfathomable....

    Eye-catching headline, but remarkably thin on detail. Except I didn’t know that WPP stands for Wire and Plastic Products and they once made shopping trolleys

    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."

    Oooh perfectly timed for my commute home

    For the NYT Kremlinologists out there, here's a piece about recent generational tensions over at 620 Eighth Ave. As one source put it: "newsroom is split into roughly the old-guard category, and the young and ‘woke’ category"

    This is most definitely not Disney buying Sky News so Fox can buy (Rest Of) Sky so Disney can buy Fox. Disney would definitely like Sky News Whatever Happens. Got that?
