Once again, I need to explain my silence. I have been overseas for a lot of this month, partly for work; partly to celebrate my anniversary with my long-suffering partner. These trips included a fascinating visit to Ukraine, where I met a bunch of interesting people who told me lots of interesting things. I also got to hear some pretty loud noises as Patriot systems blew up Putin’s ballistic missiles – more on that here.

It’s not yet been a year since Keir Starmer’s historic landslide win, but Labour MPs are already worried about losing power.

As the British Government awaits the findings of its Strategic Defence Review, industry insiders, government officials and experts say that one thing is certain: a huge amount of British money is set to be spent in Ukraine.

But what is expected next goes much further.

First things first: there’s no doubt that this week has been a huge success for Nigel Farage. If you are old enough, it all feels a bit like that 2013-2014 period when UKIP performed well in local elections then absolutely battered David Cameron at the European elections. At the time I was working on the Telegraph’s opinion pages. It was very obvious to us that Farage had changed the political conversation, at least on the right.
