British Exceptionalism at its best.This will be spun, with straight faces all round, as "proof that nobody is above the law".Expressions of hurt bewilderment that people are angry, pleas for "Christian forgiveness" & appeals to sentiment via the Jubilee will be led by Gove & JRM.

BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell just assessed Prince Andrew’s settlement ‘a huge relief to the royal family in a very special jubilee year.’

Yes, that’s the take.

Wait a min!

In 2017 Prince Harry’s told by the Royal Family / The Queen that there’s no money for security & clothes for his wife Meghan & maybe she can continue working as an actress to pay for this herself.

But now they have 12m+ to pay off a lady Prince Andrew hasn’t met?

Ah, those good old innocent times. When the Royal Family, rather than indulging in sexual deviancy, cash for access, and doling out dodgy honours as they do today, were simply happy to make total fools of themselves in the name of cheap television. pic.twitter.com/xXmD0oyWxk

The monarchy has survived because of its capacity to adapt to change. As change has accelerated, it has struggled more & more to adapt, stretching it to its limits. Now, change has reached such a speed that it is bursting apart. Time to put it in a museum.

Pro-Russian forces are desperately trying to draw fire from Ukraine — they’re clearly trying to elicit a response that would give them a “reason” to invade. https://t.co/FlJNPkvGhd

Not only is Russia not withdrawing forces from Ukraine's border, but a senior admin official says the Kremlin has added about 7,000 troops in recent days — "with some arriving as recently as today." That would place number of forces above 150k figure cited by Biden yesterday.

BREAKING: Russia has added as many as 7,000 troops near the Ukraine border in recent days, contrary to claims by President Vladimir Putin that troops would be pulled back from the region, according to a senior Biden administration official. https://t.co/U0aECk9V1d
