National Insurance: Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak confirm rise from April >A planned £12bn rise in National Insurance from April is "the right plan" and "must go ahead", Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have said. In an article in the Sunday Times, the PM and chancellor said the rise - which applies to employees and employers - will help clear the NHS backlog. Despite opposition, including from some Tory MPs, they say it is "progressive" because higher earners pay more. With inflation rising sharply, there had been calls to scrap the tax rise.
PM weighs up bigger troop offer amid Russia border crisis >The UK is considering offering to double its number of troops deployed in Eastern Europe, as ministers weigh up options to increase pressure on Russia amid heightened tensions over Ukraine. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the possible deployment would send a "clear message to the Kremlin". The defence and foreign secretaries are preparing to meet their counterparts in Moscow to encourage de-escalation. Mr Johnson will phone Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming days.
North Korea missile tests: Biggest launch since 2017 >North Korea has conducted what is thought to be its biggest missile launch since 2017. The weapon was apparently an intermediate range missile which reached an altitude of 2,000km before coming down in the Sea of Japan. Japan, South Korea and the US have all condemned the launch, the seventh test this month. The UN prohibits North Korea from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests, and has imposed strict sanctions. But the East Asian state regularly defies the ban, and leader Kim Jong-un has vowed to bolster his country's defences.

>Getting involved in Ukraine's mess because you think it will make you look "Strong".
God our creator, who in the beginning commanded the light to shine out of darkness: we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ may dispel the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, shine into the hearts of all your people, and reveal the knowledge of your glory in the face of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

If Labour win an election both parties will claim it is a democratic mandate for mass-immigration. That the Tories must move to the left on mass-immigration to be electable again. Support for parties to the Right of the Tories drags them further to the right. But Labour must lose.
