£600m aid for Ukraine to 'fight imperialism and fascism'
In Kyiv yesterday, the Foreign Secretary said Ukraine was on the front line in the fight for freedom.

It's not the burka we need to ban, it's the balaclava
AS a Conservative, I'm uncomfortable with banning anything. I'm a great believer in freedom of choice. As long as your choices aren't harming anyone else, then I say live and let live. And recent debate around banning the burka in the UK, sparked by Reform UK's newest MP, Sarah Pochin — who won the recent Runcorn and Helsby by-election — has proved what a controversial topic the state-sanctioning of how we dress can be.
