Prime ministers says party leadership was settled ‘weeks ago’ as David Davis urges Tories not to change no-confidence vote rules
Boris Johnson urges world leaders to hold firm on Ukraine
This afternoon MPs will debate the second reading of the Northern Ireland protocol bill. In his BBC News interview, Boris Johnson claimed the legislation – that will allow the UK government to abandon large parts of the protocol, in what critics argue is a clear breach of international law – could become law by the end of the year.
Asked if the measures could be in place this year, he replied: “Yes, I think we could do it very fast, parliament willing.”
And what’s really struck me in the last couple of days has been the amazing consistency of our resolve, the continuing unity of the G7 – that has really shone through in the conversations.
I think there’s a reason for that. The logic of the position is still so clear – there is no deal that President Zelenskiy can really do. In those circumstances, the G7 supporters of Ukraine around the world have to continue to help the Ukrainians to rebuild their economy, to get their grain out. And of course, we have to help them to protect themselves. And that’s what we’re going to continue to do.
