On Ukraine, that's a big challenge

Putin is normally dominating the current discussion in Westminster, not today because of tariffs

What's your position on boots on the ground? Would you vote? I mean, there was a vote
0:11
I mean, I'm pretty annoyed that the Prime Minister is reverting to outright lies
0:18
Well, that's the big thing to say. No, no, no. Outright lies, saying that reform for and over Putin
0:24
I've never heard such rubbish. But that's your remark, saying... No, no. I said in one sentence 12 years ago
0:29
that I respected him as a leader but didn't like him as a person and wouldn't live in a lot. He was a strong leader, you said, didn't you
0:33
Yeah, well, there's no question to what he is. That's why he's been there. But that's fawning for them, isn't it
0:38
It's almost as if there's no nuance of any kind allowed. You know, has Putin been a successful Russian politician

Korea divided, north and south, with the divide, and the Americans, us to some extent, but the Americans said
1:17
they'd put an army in to maintain the peace. 72 years later, there are still 24,000 American troops in Korea
1:27
We went into Afghanistan in 2001. Little did we know we'd be there for 20 years
1:34
The British Army has been diminished since 2010. It's the smallest it's been for centuries
1:41
For every one man in the front line or woman, you need two behind
1:45
You know, reserves, et cetera. So, one, I'm worried the army isn't big enough, and two
1:50
I want the Prime Minister to tell me, if we send troops in, for how long
1:55
And what's the objective
