Afternoon !, and a nice day for a change, warmed up to 8° and NO rain .
Had to switch off the Radio4 Ten PM 'News' last night, first at portraying the 'Peace Plan' as Trump's , then the insistence on Christopher Prescott's status as an independent adviser to the beeb when it's now known all over that he was installed by Robbie Gibb and is a friend of his ...
On that Plan --
""The authors of this “peace” plan include Trump’s special envoy and real-estate associate Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Kremlin sovereign-wealth manager Kirill Dmitriev. The three met in Miami in late October to draft a “peace blueprint.” None were authorized. None represented the United States in any formal capacity. It was a “side deal” done by pals: Dimitriev is friends with Kushner and serves as head of Russia’s National Wealth Fund, a piggybank worth $158.84 billion. The three met clandestinely at the Faena Hotel — owned by Len Blavatnik, a Russian oligarch who is now a US citizen and does business with Witkoff — and they essentially crafted a Kremlin wish list. ""
Yesterday's WATO did even describe it as a "Kremlin wish list "
Now everyone is playing along with it because the Orange Monster has pretended that it is his ! Also a neat diversion away from everything else on his plate .
The call for an inquiry into Reform's links to Moscow misses the other ongoing and completely ignored influencers -- Russia and other members of the Establishment, China and ( see Robbie Gibb/Prescott above ) Israel !
