All the European leaders, including in this country, who are pressing for much higher military spending are simply dancing to Trump's tune. Trump wants UK to boost defence spending to 3% by 2029 thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

The Labour leadership should review other planned cuts. They are an attack on the most vulnerable and they damage Labour too. Labour could review other benefit cuts after winter fuel U-turn, sources say theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Good piece from Larry Elliott. This government's slash-and-burn approach to international aid is indefensible and would have been anathema to previous Labour governments. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
