Chris Philp is on Sky, and yet again the first question involves him
having to defend Rishi Sunak over the D-Day vanishing act and when
Sunak will speak to the media again. This is all very difficult for
the Conservatives to move on from. It's currently a bit of a death
spiral. -

Farage has also been criticised for claiming Sunak’s early exit
demonstrated the prime minister did not understand “our culture”.Asked if he was trying to highlight Sunak’s British-Asian background,
Farage pointed to the contribution made by Commonwealth troops and
suggested he was talking about the prime minister’s “class” and
“privilege”. -

Pavlyuk stated in early May 2024 that Russian forces intended to
generate about 100,000 more personnel for use in offensive operations
this June and July and 300,000 more personnel by the end of 2024.[23]
Russia will likely fall far short of this immediate and near-term
goal, even at the lower limit of reported or suggested monthly Russian
casualties and the upper limit of reported monthly Russian force
generation. ISW continues to assess that likely poorly trained and
equipped Russian operational- and strategic-level reserves are
unlikely to be ready to act as a first-echelon penetration force or as
a second-echelon exploitation force capable of conducting large-scale
assaults in 2024 if Ukrainian forces have the wherewithal to resist
themIbid

Russian officials are reportedly concerned about decreasing
recruitment rates ahead of the expected Russian Summer 2024 offensive
effort, and it is unclear if the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has
maintained the roughly 30,000 recruitment rate it reportedly had in
January and April of 2024 -

the Bradley had a huge advantage from its stabilized gun, whereas the
BTR gun is unstabilized. Huge disadvantage as the Bradley gun
stabilization is incredible and holds the gun sight rock-steady even
on bumpy terrain at speed.nsfw:

Has a sitting Prime Minister ever resigned during an Election
campaign? -
4 weeks to go, the tories could change leaders and turn everything around.

Sky News political correspondent Tamara Cohen has also posted to
social media to say she feels it is a “significant” campaign moment.
She said “Tories fighting for their seats see it as unforgivable
unforced error – after the party has tried to appeal to older voters
with announcements like national service.”He's lost the coffin dodgers!
