The UK's good work on military aid for Ukraine is being undone by the dead hand of the Home Office, writes StewartMcDonald
"As Europe stepped up to the moment and offered sanctuary to those in need, Priti Patel insisted on an expensive, bureaucratic, and cumbersome system."A young child is moves belongings at the platform at the Lviv train station. We are all looking on in horror at the news coming out of Ukraine, wondering just what it will take for Putin to put an end to the shelling of hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings.
When his currently suspended TV show was announced in 2018 - broadcast on Putin’s propaganda channel, RT - so many SNP colleagues reacted in horror and fury in equal measure. Although no longer a parliamentarian or even in the SNP, it had the potential to be damaging to our party at the time.
After that first visit, I’ve returned for security conferences, meeting with NGOs, spending time with fellow MPs over there and here, to discuss issues around defence, climate change, human rights and even Eurovision. A couple of years back I received a call from the Ukrainian embassy. I assumed it was Natalia calling to wish me a happy birthday, but instead it was to inform me that President Zelensky had awarded me the Ukrainian Order of Merit: a state honour for the work I have done to champion Ukraine. It was a mark of the incredible generosity Ukraine is known for and I treasure it dearly.
