Some personal news: today is my first day as @Reuters' senior M&A and banking correspondent in Paris. The new gig involves coverage of France's biggest banks and major deals. Please in touch via DM with first-rate story ideas, helpful advice, or merciless criticism.

Not so Robert. Winston Churchill did the same while chancellor of exchequer1925 (and halved his tax bill in the procesz). See #NoMoreChampagne or the file @UkNatArchives eventually released 2004.

It’s extraordinary and unprecedented that @nadhimzahawi negotiated his multimillion pound tax settlement with @HMRCgovuk while Chancellor of the Exchequer. See attached. I am staggered this was thought appropriate by either the cabinet secretary or Treasury…

WARNING: Graphic violence. The NY Times is leading its homepage with this image right now. It shows a mother and her two children dead on the ground after Russia launched a mortar at a bridge civilians were using to flee Kyiv. This is war. The innocent suffer. 📷 @lynseyaddario

People in #Melitopol are so tough that they come at the armed occupiers with bare hands. They clearly did not expect such a response.

Huge demo in Kherson, the Ukrainian city captured by Russia this week. Protesters wave Ukrainian flags and chant “Putin’s a dickhead.”

Wow, Macron now seen winning 30.5% of the vote in the 1st round, a jump of 6.5 points in a month in this @IpsosFrance poll. Big Ukraine boost. Le Pen trailing 16 pts behind. But watch Mélenchon, now above Pécresse and gaining momentum. The left starting to rally behind him.

Alexander’s tearful farewell with family #Kyiv railway station. They’re going to relative safety in Lviv, he’s staying to fight. Wouldn’t let go of a toy ambulance his 8 year old son gave him as he put them on the train. #ukraine more later on ⁦@BBCNews⁩ ⁦@BBCWorld

The @mfa_russia weren’t too keen on me asking Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov if he had blood on his hands but our technical wizard - AKA @Channel4News director @MartinCollett - managed to win the battle of the mute button and my questions were heard. WATCH:

“How do you sleep at night knowing that Russian bombs and bullets are killing children?" @cathynewman asks Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about civilian deaths after reports more than 2,000 have died in the invasion of Ukraine, he says "any human life is priceless."

"What your army is doing to these people here is destroying their cities, killing their children, killing innocent civilians." @MattFrei challenges Former Russian politician Natalya Narochnitskaya over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, who says "the cities are not destroyed at all."
