“Any visit that is happening now to the Ukraine is done on the invitation of the president of the Ukraine. Prime Minister Johnson received this invitation and he agreed. The timing and means of his return are still being kept secret “for security reasons”, according to No 10. This visit was very timely and very important in terms of war,” he told the programme. Igor Zhovkva told Sunday Morning on BBC One that the prime minister’s unannounced visit to the Ukrainian capital came at the invitation of Zelenskiy. Johnson appeared to receive a warm welcome from the Ukrainian public, with footage of an encounter with one Ukrainian man praising Britain’s contribution to his country’s war effort. In a grainy video published by the railway service, the prime minister paid tribute to the transport workers for their bravery, before pausing for photos with them in a train carriage.

Where is the prime minister's program of post-Brexit renewal and reform? Local elections on May 5 will test his luck.

He is a director of the Times Newspapers board. There was also the familiar kowtow to a handful of Conservative MPs in rural seats who might swing a leadership election, but no changes to the planning system that blocks the development of onshore wind, the fastest way to deliver cheap renewable energy. As a biographer of Winston Churchill, Johnson knows that success in war does not guarantee winning the peace. The pandemic, despite Johnson’s bumbling performance at the outbreak, and war in Ukraine have conveniently filled the policy vacuum. On May 5, his party will be watching the results with a gimlet eye. “Partygate” has returned to the headlines after all. The chancellor’s personal wealth has since become a hot topic. Polemics over parties and whether the prime minister was “ambushed by (birthday) cake” seem trivial when set against a real war in eastern Europe. A poll of party members this week saw Johnson’s personal standing rise 15 points, back into positive territory. And it would only be human for Johnson to gloat at seeing his most credible rival afflicted. The popularity of his once hotly tipped successor Rishi Sunak has gone into free fall. Almost four-fifths of voters slated it as an inadequate response to the urgent cost-of-living crisis that has seen energy bills shoot up. Revelations of unauthorized parties at No. 10 Downing Street during lockdown almost sunk Johnson after the festive season.

The main headline was a framework for eight new nuclear power stations through an accelerated approvals process. The target for offshore wind capacity was ...

By looking to both big nuclear plants and small modular reactors developed by aero-engine maker Rolls-Royce, the UK is also recognising that the stability of the power system is crucial. It acerbates the already the variable nature of demand and supply. Instead, the grid will supply power either for mobility through rechargeable batteries or steadily directly to homes and charge points. Excess power generated when the wind is blowing hard but grid demand is low – for example at night – can be diverted to electrolysis, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. There is the national grid that provides lighting and power for appliances. Or at least that is what hindsight is likely to assess at some point over the next decade.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev Saturday in an unannounced visit that was weeks in planning.

So seeing the prime minister step forward, take some leadership” was necessary “because much of NATO is consolidated within the NATO architecture that they’ve left Ukraine outside of that support.” “In the case of France and Germany, the feeling is not so much that the country should triumph, but that the killing must stop… Ellwood boasted, “I called for a division of NATO to go in prior to the invasion, but NATO didn’t want to know. Johnson’s comments confirm that a proxy war is being waged by NATO against Russia, with the military hardware supplied by the western powers and Ukrainian troops doing the fighting. The “continued, shaming, ineffectual western shouting from the sidelines is unacceptable. At the time, security officials were said to be ‘having kittens’ at the prospect of Mr Johnson travelling to a war zone. Tariffs would be liberalised on most Ukrainian exports to the UK and customs checks eased. Millions of workers are facing a cost-of-living crisis and what the governor of the Bank and England described as a “historic shock” to their incomes. It followed Friday’s visit by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, alongside EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. The Ukrainian defence ministry tweeted, “We welcome Boris Johnson in Kyiv, the first G7 leader to arrive in Ukraine since the beginning of the large-scale war. But a Whitehall source said the Prime Minister ‘wants to go’ if it can be made to work.” Johnson also calculated that the trip into a war zone would divert attention from a government mired in crisis, which has overseen over 190,000 COVID deaths and is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police over parties held during pandemic lockdowns. A compliant media led their front pages with celebrations of the visit.
