It's been 131 days since Trump threatened Putin with a 50-day deadline. Instead, he wants Ukraine to sign a deal that hands over, currently controlled, territory to Russia.

One of the most important and shocking things I realised as a young diplomat was that some of the things happening in places like Russia and Eastern Europe in the late 90s could be happening in the west, and even in my own country. The US is in the early Putin phase now. Disaster looms.

The single worst thing you can do to increase inequality in our later years is to increase the state pension age again. It's a real test of Labour's commitment to equality and the well-being of the working poor.

Same in UK, too. What's happening is global, I suspect.

As an educator I am keen to know why the ICC is not the institution handling this, as Ukraine is now a state party?

The true signal is always solidarity with Putin. The noise is anything they say which appears to suggest discomfort with Russian terrorist actions, criminality and imperialism.

All true, but... Europe, including the UK, is at risk from disinformation and disruption caused by not only Russia but also those bad actors based in the US who hate everything we stand for.

Of course. They move the goalposts constantly. The aim of the MAGA team (influenced by Moscow) is to break NATO and the EU, not make things fairer.
