Russian invasion of Ukraine

This is taking it to a new level if Belarus officially join in on the ground - prep work on markings filmed here seems to confirm it but as always hard to verify -

Should we announce immidiately scrap page of visa requirements for Ukranians into the UK? Of course we should but we are not the first port of call here and no one can jump into a plane to get here either. What’s important is the actions of near neighbours and the EU who have responded incredibly well in allowing Ukranians in but of course, announce today a reciprocal agreement because it’s the right thing to do.

We should be doing better than we are. Seems we've added needless red tape to a situation that requires much more urgency. We've known this was coming for weeks. Let's see what Patel announces later on today

Sky reporting out of Moscow that Russia has moved up its nukes to “combat readiness”.

Literally no logic to that whatsoever

That’s the same story from yesterday.

It can’t mean its ICBMs as they are combat ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week as are ours and the Americans. It must mean tactical ones if it’s not just bluster.

Think it's just press waffle as in 'imminent' for transfer stories.

How fucking wild is it that many of us are just sat going about our day, while checking the internet every ten minutes for updates about a potentially world ending scenario kicking off? Ffs. No wonder I've had a permanent tension headache for a few days.

Just wait until derby day nerves kick in mate. I’m going to be on Valium by the weekend

Nothing you can do about it, so don’t worry yourself sick with it. I have been, don’t get me wrong.

I’m going to finish work for the day and do what I love - cooking - and put it out of my mind for a bit. A nice chicken Kyev. I’m sick to death of worrying about things.

Ever so slightly edited

So too earlier for flight tracker then?

I agree with what west dids posted above. When I heard her giving it the biggun i just thought "what a twat". The rhetoric has been very careful from all states, especially the US, whereas Truss just says whatever comes into her brain.

What did she say?

I’m getting less work done than in the heights of the transfer window

Which is why it’s such a massive own goal for the government not to have scrapped visa requirements at their earliest opportunity.

Most Ukrainians will want to go home, once safe to do so, so are likely to stay as close as they can, meaning a tiny number would come here.

I don’t see it as some massive own goal. Had we been immediate neighbours then of course it would have been. These poor people face a big enough journey just to get out of their homes, never mind to the nearest border and then onto us.

Announce it though asap because it does need doing.
