keep it up... keep tearing yourselves apart

Three electronic warfare Mi-8 and a IL-22M are also big hits. There were only 20 IL-22Ms ever and the electronic warfare ones are rare and extensive used to jam Ukraine systems.

I don't care, I'm not a Labour voter currently But last time Labour got into power, that's exactly what Blair did

Do we really have to go back to basics and explain the difference?

He's not a bit of fun, the Catholic Church is positively evil. Anti-gay, AIDS spreading, paedophile enabling, antisemitic... it's a multifaceted axis of evil

Would be good advice if the course was how not to invest

My suggestion for your missus' dress

correct You say this like its a bad thing

Choose the University that does the best course for you, choosing a University to study at for a year by the better city is the wrong way round.

He was actually there I think so maybe didn’t fit into his schedule

Then how are the government going to bring down interest rates, they don’t have the power to do that

I don't think he's in Belarus He doesn't seem very repentant at all The actual audio is in that Dimitri tweet at the bottom but I'm no speaker or Orcish

details in the expand

BBC reporting it, so it must be there somewhere but not found it yet What is being reported is that Lavrov has stated that Wagner PMC will still be active in Africa Wagner has recommenced recruiting for soldiers to join the Special Military Operation Prigozhin has said he had to shoot down the 7 aircraft but stopped the convoy as they didn't want to shed russian soldiers blood. Also he wasn't going to attack Putin, just the MoD where responsible for yadda yadda Reports from Minsk say he's there and building work has started on a Wagner compound Apparently no-one agreed to sign a RuAf contract on 1st July Its all very confusing

Prigozhin just posted his first video message since the weekend.

That second tweet isn't remotely from a reliable source. I agree that Prigozhin probably didn't leave Rostov-on-Don but there's nothing anywhere to say that Utkin was leading the convoy, especially as Utkin was proven a long time ago to be an asset of the GRU, supposedly it is Utkin that gave Wagner PMC it's name, as Wagner was his callsign in the Ru Army, the official narrative being that it was he that founded the PMC. That has never been that credible and Belingcat kind of proven that the whole Wagner PMC thing was basically a GRU front. There were many links between Utkin and GRU handlers, including flights they travelled on together Bellingcat (Article predates the invasion) Someone was obviously leading the column, I'm not so sure it was Utkin though given his connections to the GRU

Much like nobody else said this either What has deliberate got to do with anything. Big Ron just can't help himself

There is also this It's about 5okm directly north of Mariupol

Is there a link to this story?

He only gets the casting vote on MPC though, he'd have to get rid of his three assistants and the Chief economist, or the 4 independent members to guarantee the result he / the Govt wants. That would spook the markets again

The current chairman has a contract until 2028. If they sack him for a non-credible reason that would cause financial turmoil in the markets

But the BoE is independent of the government. Are you suggesting the Government will take control of the BoE again?
