...Graham, who spent his long career advocating for more aggressive US foreign policy, was an influential voice in the Republican Party. He had served as a senator for South Carolina since 2003.

He was one of Trump’s most steadfast allies in the US upper house, a strong advocate of the war against Iran and a staunch supporter of Nato and Israel.

On July 10, the senator returned from a trip to Kyiv, where he met Volodymyr Zelensky and announced a revised sanctions package targeting Russia that gives the US authority to penalise or impose tariffs on countries buying Russian oil or gas.

Sir William Browder, a British financier who became a target of Vladimir Putin’s regime, advocated on Sunday for “all tests” to be “done immediately to rule out foul play”.

Sir William added on X: “Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but Lindsey Graham was the leading driver of the devastating sanctions bill against Russia. Yesterday, he announced that President Trump agreed to it.

“He had just returned from Ukraine where it’s not unknown for Russian agents to operate. Russians are expert at administration of poisons that look like heart attacks.”

Meaghan Mobbs, the daughter of Gen Keith Kellogg, Trump’s former special envoy for Ukraine, pointed to possible Russian involvement.

She said that, while Graham’s death could be natural, it was reasonable to ask further questions “given the current geopolitical context and the adversaries he aggressively confronted”. ...   LINK

Richard O’Sullivan, who has died aged 82, went from being a cherubic child actor in the 1950s to the star of 70s television sitcoms. He found his first big role in Man About the House (1973-76) as Robin Tripp, sharing a flat in Earl’s Court, London, with two female friends, Chrissy (Paula Wilcox) and Jo (Sally Thomsett) – a formula presented as daring at the time.

 

I remember seeing this episode vividly.

 

Sally Thomsett for me, loved the overbite
