Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus.
Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory.
If NATO doesn’t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia won’t stop.

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings
Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of television star-style arrangement is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
