Did anyone else practically melt listening to the Russian opposition leader on Today saying that the 'referendum' which Putin was mooting was just a 'sociological survey' not a real referendum because a real referendum changes the law?
He was saying it like 'god you Brits must understand how undemocratic this all is' but the joke is on us because the Brexit referendum was no more than a socialogical study anyway.

Appreciate THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE has spoken and I'll stop now
And the presenter was saying "but that is a referendum.. isn't it?' and I was MELTING
Not sure why I'm using that verb but it seems appropriate somehow

27 Jan is #HolocaustMemorialDay and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In this special @BHumanPodcast I discuss with @philippesands how the human rights system was set up to prevent another Holocaust - and why we are at risk of forgetting patreon.com/posts/new-epis…
@BHumanPodcast @philippesands The episode is entitled ‘dying of the light’ as I think that we are at a critical and dangerous stage - where living memory of the Holocaust has almost disappeared and many of the dynamics which led to it are reappearing patreon.com/posts/new-epis…
Thank you to the brilliant Tzedek for hosting the event

This appointment beggars belief on a few different levels.
On one level, I thought that Corbyn et al aren't really into the House of Lords? Shami excepted of course
On another level newstatesman.com/politics/stagg…

Peak Putin. Announces major constitutional changes, shuffles govt powers, opening a Pandora’s box of options & uncertainty while staying silent on his own plans. #Putin needs to keep #Russia’s oligarchs off balance to ensure he remains the pivot around which the country revolves.
"Putin giveth & Putin taketh away." Good hot take on Medvedev resigning as PM of Russia, by Russian opposition politician Lev Shlosberg. "With the stroke of a pen, Medvedev could've sent Putin to the sidelines of history. He didn't. Because the deal was always Putin's in charge."
🎯The only way he'll leave power is in a box, just like his idol Stalin—@Kasparov63

Putin's shuffle today doesn't change that Russia is a mafia dictatorship. A facade of democracy masks his brutality & corruption. And shows he knows democracy is the only legitimate form of govt.

Russian opposition leader Kara-Murza said that, weeks after he survived an assassination attempt in early 2016, a British MP berated him, asking why the City of London should jeopardise millions of pounds in investments from Russians because of "hearsay"

Don’t know what you think but this sounds awfully like Mark Field MP to me.

The red face. The flashing temper.

I think we should know who did say it.
It isn’t just the political milieu, but also the investigatory agencies.

Bill Browder this time.

THREAD: here’s a breakdown of the JUICY details in the sentencing memo filed by lawyers for Alex van der Zwaan (“v.d.Swamp”), the son-in-law of #Russian🇷🇺oligarch, German Khan (AlfaGroup/AlfaBank co-founder)‼️1/

#TrumpRussia

Link to court document👉🏼courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
In this thread, we will focus on what v.d.Swamp said about his case, specifically what info he tried to COVER UP.🤨

For details on the CRIMES that convicted felon v.d.Swamp committed, see👇🏼this thread👇🏼on Mueller’s sentencing memo.😎 2/

Of course, van der Zwaan’s attorneys try to spin a sob story about how v.d.Swamp’s “world has collapsed” and “his career has been destroyed.”🙄

Well, yeah. That’s what happens when you LIE to the Feds and DESTROY EVIDENCE‼️3/
