Divers find remains of Finnish WWII plane that was shot down by Moscow with a US diplomat aboard
The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later. The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.

Britain still doesn’t have a clue about the scale of the disaster heading its way
Reform overtaking the Tories according to one poll is undoubtedly a watershed moment in British politics. But Nigel Farage’s suggestion that “a vote for the Conservatives is now a vote for Labour” isn’t quite right. Because Reform simply doesn’t have the numbers to replace the Tories; only to destroy them, with no clear idea of what would follow. When the red mist clears, what we’re going to be left with is a future far worse than even the wettest of Conservatives could muster.
