PM will give a speech shortly, followed by a Q&A with the media

The Conservatives claim Keir Starmer is “not serious” about civil service reform. In a statement released last night in response to the overnight preview of Starmer’s speech, Alex Burghart, the shadow Cabinet Office minister, said:

Labour is not serious about getting Britain growing.

The prime minister has no plan to reform the civil service or cut public spending. Thanks to his budget the size of the state will reach a staggering 44% of GDP by 2030. Meanwhile businesses are being strangled by Rachel Reeves’s taxes and Angela Rayner’s red tape.

Key factors will drive the Kremlin’s decision. Can Russia fight on and for what? Or is there more benefit in allying with Donald Trump?

At this stage of the crisis, it is important to be clear-sighted. The US-Ukraine meeting in Jeddah was a damage-control operation. Both parties reset relations that had been damaged, largely by Washington’s impatience. The US reversed its previous decisions in exchange for something Ukraine was ready to provide anyway: privileged access to Ukraine’s natural resource wealth and a willingness to start a peace process.

It is encouraging to see renewed US-Ukraine dialogue to end the war. As Churchill said, the only thing worse than fighting with allies is fighting without them. The public mugging in the Oval Office, calling Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator and the pause in military and intelligence support were hard to fathom. Ukrainians wondered why President Trump was putting the blame and the pressure on the victim, and protecting the aggressor. Trump’s “beautiful” deal involved bullying the weaker and reassuring the stronger. He finds it more natural to put pressure on allies, be it Ukraine or Canada, and relax it on adversaries.
