Boris Johnson tells voters to 'forget about the government'
Wednesday, 1 May 2024 The Tory mayor of the West Midlands is sending voters an endorsement from Boris Johnson which urges people to "forget about the government", Sky News can reveal.
Boris Johnson says there is "no way" a solution to the Russia-Ukraine war can be found without Ukrainian input, but has accused Europe of "headless chicken-ism" over Donald Trump's plans for bringing the war to an end. The former prime minister adds the US "is continuing to fund the Ukrainian effort", despite fears over how the US President will try to bring about peace. Report by Brooksl.

Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell describes the government’s decision to cut international aid to 0.3% of GDP as “shameful” and “wrong”. The former international development secretary says he was “astonished” to hear about the decision, which will fund extra defence spending, insisting “there are many other ways you can raise that money”.

The Conservatives have voiced disappointment at the US decision not to support a UN resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine – even though it was co-sponsored by the UK. However, Shadow Environment Secretary Victoria Atkins says it is still important to support President Trump in his wish to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict, despite the US siding with Russia in last night’s vote.

U.S.-Ukraine Talks in Jeddah Turn Painful for Zelensky? Trump’s Team Rejects Ukraine’s Border Demands. High-stakes negotiations between the U.S. and Ukrainian delegations have begun in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with Washington assessing Kyiv’s willingness to make territorial concessions. Sky News reports that Ukraine may have to agree to “painful concessions” as part of a ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, U.S. officials have privately stated they are unwilling to consider Ukraine’s demands to restore its pre-2014 or pre-2022 borders. Despite Ukrainian authorities denying that territorial concessions were discussed, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made it clear that ceding occupied regions to Russia is part of the peace deal considerations.
