Apparently it's #InternationalCatDay . So, let me tell you about my cat, who decided to attack me a few weeks back with chemical weapons. His name is Felix, and he is getting old and cranky /1 I have to use a CPAP machine at night to help me breathe as I have sleep apnoea. This device forces compressed air into my mouth and nose to keep my airways open. This sits down by my bedside. /2

@CraigMurrayOrg @corbyn50plus So now you're going to lecture me on chemistry? This ought to be interesting. Let me give you some background to all of this. When I heard who the victim was, and that it was a nerve agent, I immediately suspected what the chemical formula was likely to be 1/ @CraigMurrayOrg @corbyn50plus This is because I knew about the 'novichok' agents. They were developed in the 70s and 80s by Vil Mirzayanov among others, who now lives as an exile in the US. He was so horrified that he went public an eventually to jail in Russia 2/
