TL;DR: Russia has decided that the UK is Russia's enemy, and there's nothing we can do to change that as long as Putin is in power. The choice is whether to be an undefeated enemy or a defeated one. That's all the choice we get.

President Trump has shown, again and again, he can’t be trusted as a reliable ally.

The Prime Minister needs to stop hoping for the best and start dealing with reality.

More companies are moving away from the UK and closer to our European neighbours, due to increasing red tape and barriers to trade. The Government needs to recognise that we cannot afford to lose any more organisations, and repair our relationship with the continent.

If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Streeting and Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors
