What a speech from Ukraine’s heroic President – as stirring as it was historic
Slava Ukraini
PUTIN thought it would be over in a few days. A fortnight on, his insane invasion has stalled and Ukraine’s heroic President is addressing our Parliament on live TV.
What a speech, too, as stirring as it was historic. Shakespeare, then Churchill.

It cannot have failed to move the hearts and hardened the resolve of our MPs and millions watching.
We pray for Zelenskyy and his magnificent, defiant people. With the help of Britain and our allies they can yet repel Putin’s terror army.
We must step up the sanctions to bring Russia to its knees.
We must increase the weapons and aid sent to Ukraine.
But we still cannot use our air power to blitz Russian planes directly.
Putin wants war with Nato . . . an excuse, maybe, to use nukes. We must not oblige.

Border farce
BRITAIN’S policy on refugees is a fiasco.
Of course it is ridiculous for critics to contrast the numbers of Ukrainians we take with nations much closer to the war zone.

And some caution IS vital to avoid importing anyone using fake papers — or even terrorists.
But one minute the Home Office correctly points out that most people who land illegally on our shores in small boats are not real war refugees.
Then they still make immigrating as hard as possible for those who ARE genuine.
It is absurd too that a major economy struggles to house perhaps a few thousand needing sanctuary. Could that be linked to our inability to build homes?
And the fact so many hotels are bulging with 25,000 asylum applicants?
Bercow busted
REMAINER MPs trying to annul 17.4million Leave votes had one key asset: The serial liar John Bercow.
The ex-Commons Speaker was a classic bully, all oily charm to people he liked or needed, grotesquely vile to the rest.

We saw glimpses of it as he bent the rules to favour Keir Starmer’s campaign to rerun the Brexit referendum while skewering its opponents.
Back in his office, Bercow was a fully power-crazed, foul-mouthed little tyrant who left a female staffer traumatised for years. He would explode over trivialities such as toothpaste or shaving foam.
Labour, to its shame, turned a blind eye because reversing Brexit mattered more to them. They even admitted it, before embracing him as a member.
Those of us who knew he was a despicable creep stand vindicated by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner’s vehement condemnation.

Bercow even mimicked and mocked one accuser repeatedly to the inquiry, before brainlessly branding it a “kangaroo court”. His disgrace is complete.
Will the Remainer broadcasters who adore him have the decency now to abandon him to richly-deserved obscurity?
