Agreed, but it remains the choice of the Tories to go there, rather than highlighting the lack of policies by Reform in almost every area but immigration and crypto, & putting forward their own proposals. I'm not voting for Parties with no manifesto & I suspect I'm not alone.

It's a distraction from the Tories' lack of costed policies & their continued unfitness for office.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

5/ There no basis to assess that Russian forces will be able to take the rest of Donetsk Oblast in any short period of time, as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to claim, or even to forecast that Russian forces will ever be able to complete their seizure of this region by force.

Ultimately the Commission and the wider Brussels bubble will determine relations with third countries including membership processes. One politician making nice carries very little sway compared to the overall machine, especially if it is their 5th priority at best.
