After months of blockages and bickering over weapons for Ukraine - a gridlock which has given Russia the upper hand - suddenly, it looks like a vote will happen this week.

Something curious is happening in Washington. After months of blockages and bickering over weapons for Ukraine - a gridlock which has given Russia the upper hand - suddenly, it looks like a vote will happen by Saturday. It's a story of relief for Ukraine which will receive more than $60bn of lethal aid. But it also represents a curious twist in America's political chaos.

But somewhere, the intransigent Mr Johnson has had an epiphany. On Capitol Hill last night his language was striking. 'This is not a game. It's not a joke. We can't play politics,' he said, with no sense of irony given his politicking over the last few months.
