When a crowd stormed the Capitol in Washington on Jan 6, I saw someone I recognised. He believed a cabal of Satanic paedophiles had stolen the election. I've spent the last year looking for the origins this twisted tale. The result is The Coming Storm

Putin’s genius over the past two decades has been to turn himself into the structural institution through which power is exercised in Russia. He is in many ways no longer a person but an institution. The tree trunk that holds all the branches of the greater Kremlin in place.

Everything about the past few weeks has felt choreographed. Both from the Russians and the Americans. And now we’re getting to the stage where the dance partners are struggling to anticipate each other’s steps. And the consequences could be truly dire. #Ukraine

This is a very important point. And it’s not just the Sun that’s vulnerable to a perception of over-coziness

Difficulty for The Sun is that he’s been at the paper and had full knowledge of all of this as it has unfolded. The clear perils of the British system and media/political world which it’s permissible to go from journalism to politics and then back to journalism again.

What chances of Prigozhin surviving long in his Belarusian exile? What chances of Putin surviving long in power after being so publicly exposed as weak and vulnerable? Also… No one knows anything.

Hmmm... say that to the journalists like @BBCNawalMaghafi and others who have actually travelled to Yemen to report on this story for the “travesty that is the British media” before making tooo many self-serving comments from your comfy London sofa.

Two years ago, I did a video about the British backed Saudi war on Yemen which has slaughtered thousands. Since then, the travesty that is the British media has failed to properly scrutinise the utter horror show our government shares responsibility for.

Really extraordinary press conference with Ukrainian president Zelensky. International press asking again and again about the threat of imminent invasion. Zelensky saying very clearly, we don't need this panic, be careful about talking up the possibility of an escalation
