Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK.

Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen.

"In February 1933, Germany’s wealthiest industrialists, financiers, and CEOs were very explicitly promised by Hitler and Göring that these would be the last elections held for the next 10-100 years. They had no qualms getting out their checkbooks and signing over German democracy."

Perhaps the BBC will give this Ed Davey character some airtime
'Ed Davey is more popular than Nigel Farage' is not something that obviously comes through from most media coverage
UK end of year leadership ratings from Opinium:

Davey +3
Farage -9
Badenoch -12
Starmer -32
