    Harking back to his days as chancellor during the pandemic, Mr Sunak said he served the country while "the future hung in the balance".
    "I will never leave this country to face the darkest days alone," he said, adding that he has "never been prouder to be British".

      The war in Ukraine is achieving its aim, which is to kill as many European people as possible. This is what WW1 and WW2 were about: send as many of our boys over the top as possible. This why they're threatening to issue a military draft and, this time, even women won't be exempt. Ukraine and Russia are on the same side. Zelensky is an actor (his biography is easy to find) and "Putin" is an actor, wearing a latex mask, just as Biden is.
