The Shovel nailed it:

I was discussing this with Mr Lambright this morning; what's the bet they decanted Mr Prigozhin from a freezer before they loaded him on the plane? Spoiler: no odds were being given or accepted.

Even the New Daily is saying Prigozhin is 'dead' instead of dead. It's becoming cartoonish.

In breaking news many of Putin's allies are now refusing to walk up stairs, climb ladders or wear platform shoes.

Hot topic. My mate chat contribution was:

Putin: "Yevgeny, i am worried about you not touching doors yourself or putting on only unwrapped underwear. I think you should get on a plane and come visit me. . . . . . .". Bloody horrific that this stuff is so accepted that we can just joke about it all (and use sources like windows, and umbrella stabbing and door handles and underwear, the list goes on).

If Putin is responsible (and on balance that seems like a reasonable conclusion), it's horrifying that 9 other people died for this outcome. Those people might have been Wagner or Wagner-adjacent, but still an incredibly ruthless act.

Always thought Putin's opponents were clumsy. This proves it.
