An unmissable Question Time tonight with Afshin Rattansi. He himself might ask how the US, France and Germany could be so certain, when the recipe for Novichok was in a book that you could get from Amazon for $8.16, and when most scientists agreed that Novichok probably would not work, anyway.
RT could not buy publicity like a threat from the Government to close it down. Its ratings must have gone through the roof. And the present time has the feel of what the run-up to the Iraq War would have been like if we had had Facebook and Twitter. The war would never have happened.
Facebook, Twitter, and a Leader of the Opposition who understood the job description. Right about Kosovo, right about Afghanistan, right about Iraq, right about Libya, and right about Syria, he is as good as certainly right again now. Especially against a Prime Minister who was wrong about all of them, despite theoretically being in Opposition for the first 60 per cent.
