Rishi Sunak's answer to the Northern Ireland Protocol will either 'split his party' if he sides with the EU, or infuriate the bloc if he sides with unionists, Andrew Marr has said.

"Let me do my little best. Sunak’s trying to persuade the EU to allow goods to move freely in and out of Northern Ireland without any European oversight.

"Unionists and their Tory allies want a border in Ireland which nationalists say would be the target for fresh violence. Well, we can't have that. "He’s been going around smiling a great deal recently - he does have a nice smile - and trying to be pleasant to everyone… to no real effect.

The US and Russia are using Ukraine as the battleground for another proxy war. They were never prepared because they thought sanctions would destroy Russia’s economy. That has completely backfired.
