Keir Starmer is set to count rural broadband and Heathrow’s third runway as defence spending to circumvent NATO rules as the Government makes plans to redraw the definition of national security.
The war in Ukraine has shattered a generation of the West's digital-age delusions, say David Betz and Michael Rainsborough. The End of History did not arrive. The Return of Artillery did.
Europe's mountain of onerous green rules is stopping nations from preparing for defending against a possible Russian invasion, the continent's defence ministers have warned in a leaked letter.
Right-wing candidate Karol Nawrocki has won Poland's Presidential election in a tight contest, beating pro-EU Rafal Trzaskowski with 50.89% of the vote in a heavy blow to PM Donald Tusk's liberalising Government.
In what's been dubbed "Russia’s Pearl Harbour", Ukraine has reportedly destroyed over 40 nuclear-capable bombers in a daring drone strike on a Siberian air base, dealing a massive blow to Putin's air power.
The disconnect between Keir Starmer's fine-sounding words about his Ukraine 'coalition of the willing' and the meagre reality has reached Stalinesque proportions, says Dr Frederick Attenborough.
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agreed to a 30-day 'energy and infrastructure' ceasefire in Ukraine during a two-hour phone call today in the first steps towards ending the war.
When bombing civilians becomes 'ethical' but heating your home doesn't, it's clear that ESG was never about ethics at all, says Ben Pile. Just power and control.
Suddenly EU leaders have gone into hysterical meltdown over the United States threatening to withdraw security guarantees. Trouble is, says Eugyppius, Eurotards know nothing about how to create a modern army.
