By Martin Foskett | Newswire | Knelstrom Media WASHINGTON, USA. President Donald Trump has authorised Ukraine to use long-range drones and missiles to strike targets on Russian soil, a policy shift described by U.S. officials as significant but tightly controlled.

Trumpets blaring, bureaucrats beaming, the whole spectacle sold as a historic embrace of democracy.

It was an earthquake dressed as a clerical error, a demolition job disguised as paperwork. A slip over stamp duty, they said, but the tremors still shake the Cabinet Office and rattle Starmer's teacups. And in her absence, two ghosts rush into the gap: Jeremy Corbyn, rattling his chains with a new party stitched from old banners, and Nigel Farage, circling with a pint in hand, ready to gut Labour's northern heartlands.
