A Look Back at 2022 British Politics, Part One: Boris
Three Prime Ministers, two monarchs and one recession.
Following a global pandemic, which immediately followed Brexit, the UK was due a quieter political year, but instead, 2022 was an absolutely bonkers record-breaker.
Still reeling from the Downing Street parties that threatened to topple him over Christmas, Johnson began the year fighting for his political life.
And Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine in February gave him the perfect rebuttal to any accusation.
When the going got tough at home for Boris, heâd hop on a plane to Ukraine and show his support for Volodomyr Zelenskiy.
But he was never able to shake the string of allegations waiting for him back in Britain.
He survived a vote of confidence in the commons by a narrow margin, but in the end, it was one scandal too many.

Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell for the role of special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Known for his diplomatic experience and controversial views, Grenell could play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations. He opposes Ukraineâs NATO membership and has advocated for "autonomous zones" in conflict areas. Trumpâs plan includes halting Ukraine's NATO aspirations and establishing a freeze along the front line to advance a peaceful resolution.

The United Kingdom has issued a strong warning, declaring its military is prepared to join the fight against Russia âtonightâ if Moscow escalates aggression in Eastern Europe. Lieutenant General Sir Rob Magowan assured the Commons Defence Committee of the British Army's readiness, stating that any Russian invasion would be met with immediate resistance. Amid growing tensions over Ukraine, where Kyiv has launched strikes using US-supplied Atacms missiles, and concerns about NATO's eastern flank, the UK has bolstered its presence in Estonia and remains committed to defending Europe. As fears of a broader conflict loom, the possibility of World War III grows ever more tangible.

As tensions escalate in Eastern Europe, U.S. officials have raised alarms about the growing military presence along the Russian-Ukrainian border. The Pentagon has warned that up to 50,000 troops, consisting of Russian forces and North Korean soldiers, are preparing to launch an offensive against Ukraine. According to U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, these troops are being integrated into Russian military units in the Kursk region, located near the border with Ukraine. Austin expressed concerns that these forces could soon be engaged in combat, signalling a dangerous escalation in the ongoing war. The buildup of these foreign troops, along with reports of Russia providing North Korea with oil, anti-aircraft missiles, and economic aid in exchange for military support, has raised fears of a significant intensification of hostilities. As the conflict continues to evolve, both Russia and North Korea have become increasingly intertwined in military strategy, with the possibility of further destabilising the region. Ukraine, still recovering from its initial offensives, remains on high alert as this new threat looms large.
