Day 1605 of the war in Europe.

Eyes on the war in Ukraine have been dragged from the frontlines to political battles in Kyiv. It's Day 2 of public protests against Zelenskyy's siding with a Soviet-era General against a young Defence Minister.

This is Friday's daily thread:
The People of Ukraine mobilised on to the streets yesterday, for the first time since forcing Zelenskyy to back down over his attempts to silence NABU, the anti-corruption agency.

But lots more news too on Thursday. Click the link to see what you missed

Let's start with Tanker Bingo!

12 more Russian vessels 'caught fire' in the night, with a little help from Magyar and his team, piloting 'birds' to their targets.

All today's hits were in the Black Sea:
9 dry cargo ships
1 tanker
1 gas tanker
1 tugboat

The golf ball founder is pulling in millions in revenue selling a golf ball that dissolves in water and feeds fish.

His buyers are yachts, resorts, and cruise lines across more than fifty countries.

Thread
$2 Golf Ball Empire

Albert Buscató. was on a cruise years ago, frustrated that he couldn’t play golf on board.

Every ball he’d hit would sink and pollute the water below. Image
He founded Ecobioball.

The outer layer degrades completely within 48 hours, revealing a dense inner core of fish food.

It now ships into yachts, cruise ships, resorts, and private islands across more than fifty countries.

Tony Robbins uses these balls on his own island. Image

Andy Burnham is days away from becoming Prime Minister.
His chief of staff will be James Purnell, CEO of Flint Global, a corporate lobbying firm whose clients include Amazon, Uber, BP, Apple, Airbnb and Thames Water. The utility Burnham says should be nationalised.
A thread on what is behind the soft left mask.
substack.com/@europeanpowel…
Flint Global was bought by private equity firm Cinven in December 2025 for £190 million. The firm at the heart of a Burnham government is not just connected to corporate capital. It is owned by it.
While at Flint, Purnell told corporate clients: expect deregulation, no tax rises, spending cuts. That is the policy position of Burnham's incoming chief of staff, stated to paying clients before he entered Burnham's office.
Flint's political network spans every major party simultaneously:
— Starmer's former chief of staff Sam White: hired to advise clients on how Labour works
— Starmer's economics adviser Rav Athwal: author of Labour's 2024 manifesto
— Former Labour home secretary Baroness Jacqui Smith
— Former Labour minister Siôn Simon
— Former Rishi Sunak adviser Jean-André Prager: advising on disability benefits reform
— Former Nigel Farage aide Leah Thornton: confirmed advising Flint last year
— Kiran Horwich, Flint partner: previously worked for the Liberal Democrats in coalition
Labour. Conservative. Reform. Liberal Democrats. One lobbying firm. Owned by private equity.

I told BBC that people in Kyiv are surprised, annoyed, disappointed with the government reshuffle, but not angry.

The reshuffle won’t affect Zelenskyy’s popularity either way. And student protests are real, but not anti-Zelenskyy. They want Fedorov back.

1/
Me: For students, Fedorov is an icon and a cultural role model. He represents youth and the new generation.

They love him and are really sad he is gone.

2/
Me: There is an open conflict between Syrskyi [Сommander-in-chief] and Fedorov.

The cabinet reshuffle triggered the dismissal of the Ministry of Defense. Some people say the reshuffle was just a pretext to remove Fedorov.

1/ Russia's fuel crisis is causing gas stations to go out of business en masse. At least 150 have been put up for sale, including some belonging to major distributors, in a further sign of how the fuel crisis caused by Ukrainian drone strikes is impacting daily life in Russia. ⬇️ Image
2/ Adverts offering gas stations for sale across Russia have been appearing on marketplaces, commercial real estate websites, and corporate resources, for prices of between 1 and 150 million rubles. An entire chain of 13 gas stations in Ufa is being offered for 350 million.
3/ National chains such as Gazprom and Lukoil are also offering stations for sale. However, the great majority of those currently on offer are independently owned. Around 60% of Russia's 27,700 gas stations are independently owned, with the rest belonging to large oil companies.

1/ Russian Telegram channels are celebrating President Zelenskyy's ouster of Mikhailo Fedorov as Ukraine's Defence Minister. Commentators depict him as a dangerous and effective opponent, and suggest that his departure will make Russia's war effort easier. ⬇️ Image
2/ Assessing Fedorov's achievements, Svyatoslav Golikov calls them "significant and impactful". He welcomes Fedorov's ousting:
3/ "I view the personnel changes in the enemy's military department as very positive news, because, as historical practice shows, the role of an individual in certain systemic processes is often crucial, and the changes already achieved may well be reversible."

An oncologist admitted: there are 3 types of people who don't get c*ncer.

(save this): Image
1. Those who regularly sweat until salt forms on skin -sauna, hard labor, heat.

Sweat dumps heavy metals. Cadmium, arsenic, lead known carcinogens. They leave not with urine, but with sweat.
An office worker who hasn't truly sweated for years stores these metals in fat tissue. From there comes the push toward cell mutation.

@vick89024 @GawdILoveCopss @chrisdacey I'd love it if you reported me to the police. The more they know about me, the better. If you could include this picture with my phone numbers and my wishes, that would be great. You're doing me a huge favor by keeping them informed about me. 😁👍👍 Image
