If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The new black (black dye is cheaper) British passport sums up Brexit perfectly, made by a French Company in Poland and shipped from Germany. That's your sovereignty.

Even if the UK cannot be forced in, the currency question is sure to loom large over any bid to return to the EU. Part one of two on the third rail of British politics
