There is renewed speculation about the forced resignation of Nuland and her subsequent silence. When last in Kyiv she warned Russia to expect a big surprise. Some analysts are linking this to the Ukraine incursion into Russia in the direction of the nearest nuclear base to the border. Was this the surprise she was talking about, and did the US forewarn Russia? Zelensky certainly thinks there was a leak about the incursion into Belgorod which has seen the deaths of a large number of Ukrainian soldiers masquerading as Russian dissidents. If true it shows how precarious the situation in and around Ukraine really is.

It has been pointed out that the £218 billion in cuts to public services may be overstated, due to GDP growth and higher taxes. Far from it. Projecting future GDP growth is not consistent with the experience of no growth over the last two years. Furthermore even the OBR projects a fall in the tax take over these years of £93.6 billion (see their table A.6 page 151, the link is in the main article) making it unlikely that increased taxation will moderate the cuts. Of course these cuts will be unsustainable, which means the Tories are passing a loaded gun onto Labour.
