The dumb letter the progressive caucus put out yesterday has already been retracted, supposedly signed months ago and put out by a staffer. What a stupid own goal to put that out.

Sunak has talked about not spending 3% on defense spending, though hasn't really talked about reducing aid to Ukraine. Their MOD Ben Wallace, very popular in Ukraine, is staying on so that's a good sign.

Also, important not to lose sight that US has been far away the biggest contributor of Ukrainian aid, and the Baltic states also pulling much more than their weight.

While I would not like it and it doesn't seem likely anyway, if UK, Germany, France and Italy all stopped sending support, Ukraine's military operations would likely continue on similarly to before.

Of more concern is the position of the Republican leadership in the House. They have threatened to reign in or stop support for the Ukraine if they take the House. The progressive wing of the Democrats cannot stick up to Biden, as was just seen.
