The hit could be as bad as the world economic crisis caused by similar conflicts half a century ago. And the bleak outlook in eastern Europe is seen as up there with the fall of the Berlin Wall, only the other way round. As our Political Correspondent Peter Spencer reports, our Prime

One, he’s finally clocked that it’s going to cost Americans as well as everyone else. Two, that he’s been played by the Israelis all along. The threat to his presidency now looms larger by the day.

He is nonetheless running out of friends fast, with even his own brother as well as Keir Starmer saying the rozzers must do their worst. But it’s a Prime Minister of yesteryear who’s got egg on his face. Naturally Mr Mountbatten insists he shou

The sight of him strutting his world stage stuff in Germany this weekend as though it were situation normal feels surreal. He’s not so much keeping a stiff upper lip as practically biting it off. Yes, the Prime Minister did neutralise a deadly serious coup attempt a few days ago, ma
