Boris Johnson’s move to extend tariffs on imported steel by two years — a probable breach of World Trade Organisation rules — was welcomed by protectionist MPs from both sides of the political aisle. Industry also predictably lauded the decision, saying it will be protected from artificially cheap imports. Much like fishing, steel carries with it a disproportionate amount of political focus compared to its size — in 2020 the £2bn it contributed to the economy was the equivalent of just 0.1pc of total economic output and 1.2pc of manufacturing. But as the industry likes to point out: everything is made of steel. The metal goes into cars, aircraft, new buildings and the machinery that forms almost everything else. Without it, steel insiders say the logic of having a manufacturing industry in the UK would be considerably weaker — a fact that will not be lost on the Prime Minister. The move was pegged as an effort to “protect the steel sector”, Trade Secretary Anne-Marie … [Read more...] about With the Tories in turmoil, steel helps Boris Johnson show his mettle

Troop cuts are “madness” and will put the Army at breaking point, its former head has warned. General Lord Dannatt spoke out against the Government’s decision to cut the Army by 10,000 soldiers over the next few years, despite the war in Ukraine. It comes after Boris Johnson agreed to increase the defence budget to 2.5 per cent of GDP by the end of the decade. However, Lord Dannatt said it “makes no sense whatsoever” to go ahead with the cuts to troops, set out in last year’s Integrated Review, when Nato plans to put 300,000 troops at high readiness. “It’s a mere fact of life we’ll break the remainder of our Army if our Army is not large enough … to do what the government of the day wants us to do,” he told Sky News. “You can’t make people work endlessly with too small numbers. So numbers in the terms of our land forces really, really matter.” Lord Dannatt called on the Government to reverse the cuts and instead increase its investment in “our land warfighting … [Read more...] about Troop cuts will leave the Army at breaking point, says Lord Dannatt

For the circuit, Formula 1 fans and surrounding businesses in a small corner of Northamptonshire, it is the most important week of the year.

Sir Lewis Hamilton might be out of the running for the championship this time, but that does not appear to have dampened the mood at Silverstone.

"The fans really wanted to get out after Covid, we were sold out on race day by January and Saturday [qualifying] by April," he says.

Russian forces on Saturday claimed victory in the battle for the last Ukrainian-held town in the Luhansk region, an important step in Vladimir Putin's mission to conquer the Donbas. Pro-Russian forces posted videos on social media of them placing a red "victory banner" in the centre of Lysychansk at the Memorial of the Fallen. Russian newswires also started to describe Lysychansk as having been "liberated" on Saturday. "Lysychansk has been taken and is under the control of the allied forces," a RIA Novosti correspondent reported. Soldiers were now conducting a mopping-up operation , according to Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen leader whose soldiers are among those fighting there. "The trap has closed and Lysychansk is now completely surrounded by our united forces," he said. Mr Kadyrov has previously proved an unreliable witness, but that claim was also echoed by separatist officials. "Today the Luhansk popular militia and Russian forces occupied the last strategic … [Read more...] about Russia says last Ukrainian-held town in the Luhansk region has fallen

The Russian Defense Ministry has claimed that Russian forces have "liberated" all of Ukraine's Luhansk region. The ministry on Sunday said Russian forces had captured Lysychansk, the last major Ukrainian-held city in Ukraine's Luhansk province. Russia's defense minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin that Russia's troops and members of a local separatist militia "have established full control over Lysychansk and some nearby settlements," according to a post on the ministry's Telegram channel. "The total area of ​​the territories liberated over the past day amounted to 182 square kilometers," the post said. Control of Lysychansk would bring Moscow closer to its stated goal of seizing all of Ukraine's Donbas region. Ukraine's military did not immediately provide a response, but on Saturday, Ukrainian authorities had said that Lysychansk remained under Ukrainian control. Early on Sunday, Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said Russian forces were gaining a … [Read more...] about Moscow claims control over Luhansk region as missiles hit border towns
