Ukrainian soldier Vitalii Ovcharenko sends a message to President Donald Trump from Dobropillia, near Pokrovsk.
"Mr. Trump, I'm from Donbas - why should I give my home and my region to Russia? Donbas is Ukraine."
Do you think Trump hears this message?

This is just nonsense from the Daily Mail (yes, Burnham might think it is feasible but he - or his advisors - are deluded). But might the Daily Mail possibly have an ulterior motive for pushing this narrative?

I don't always agree with Starmer.
However:
He's easily the best PM we've had for 14 years.
I like that he's 'solid' rather than charismatic.
His international profile is strong.
Feck off with the challenges.

Despite recent Tory removals, changing PM mid-term when he commands a majority would be unusual
And a fair amount of why Starmer is disliked comes down to malice from Corbyn fans and Russian manipulation

BUT how long Putin will survive if the war drags on.

This is not a sign that Ukraine is winning the land war, but its an important sign that the doom laden narrative (ukraine has "no cards" Ukraine will collapse) is wrong. Watch out, this narrative is being used to try and convince Europeans that Ukraine must take a terrible deal.

The receipts are now coming in on Reform's ability to run local Councils.
They are worse than Labour and Tories, increasing Council Tax, reducing services, wasting money on consultants.
On top off that a high rate of turnover of Reform councillors.

In 2024 at least 73 died crossing the Channel (some say 85).
This is due to overcrowding, boats sinking, drowning & suffercation.
In 2025 it has dropped to under 30. Each death is still a tragedy, but the decrease is welcomed.
Stopping the boats entirely will end deaths.
