Victoria Derbyshire rinsed Baldwin - a washed-up Shadow Business hack from the 14-years-of-chaos Tory circus - after she moaned about Labour’s Budget. Derbyshire hit back: everything they whine about now is what they did while trashing the country. Fourteen years of ruin and they act brand new.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press

4. The cheapest way to keep Britain safe? Help #Ukraine win. Long-term weapons, joint production, and political backbone.
A strong Ukraine = a weaker Kremlin = a safer UK.
Act now so no one ever dares test our defences.

3.We also need home resilience: cyber protection, emergency planning, and a “Swedish-style” civil defence reboot. Modern conflict hits civilians first—energy, comms, transport. Prepare now and you avoid chaos later.

2. Britain needs:
• A credible warfighting Army
• Layered UK air & missile defence
• Serious protection for power grids, ports, undersea cables
• A Navy that can actually keep 2 carriers at sea
This is basic statecraft, not warmongering.

1. #Russia is accelerating its war machine. Europe isn’t ready.
If the UK wants real security in the 2025–30 window, it must rearm at speed: rebuild ammo stocks, expand missile production, and fix the hollowed-out Army. Deterrence now is cheaper than panic later.

Britain lacks dates for defence procurement speed up
The government has yet to set out when its promised acceleration of defence procurement will be achieved, as a written parliamentary exchange shows the department still has no defined timetable

Efforts to speed up defence procurement remain undefined as the MOD acknowledges it has set no firm timetable for meeting its accelerated contracting targets.

Russian economy is tanking. A million young soldiers dead. But compared to Russian history things have been far far worse. Stalin. Civil war. Famine. Russians capacity for suffering and shuffling serf-like along the bread queue. Nostalgic about past military victories and USSR Olympic medals.
