This moment from February 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead. Perhaps he should have listened.

Zelenskyy: First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless –

Trump: You don't know that. You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

Zelenskyy: I'm not telling you. I am answering on these questions.

Trump: Because you're in no position to dictate that.

Vance: That's exactly what you're doing.

Trump: You are in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good.

@MartinSLewis One thing I don’t understand Martin. We save in ISAs, to help with future expenditure E.g home improvements etc. but once we draw down … we can and are taxed on it?

@BBCBreaking Sarah Smiths report on the Whitehouse fiasco this evening was entirely one way biased. And had me almost screaming at my TV. And I’ve never experienced such a reaction before to the bbc news. Simply unfair Sarah and unjustified/ unverified.

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS Mr President Zelensky, I cannot begin to tell you how shocked and sorry I am to have viewed today’s events in the White House. Trump and Vance are a Disgrace to the World. Please Stay Strong. Ukraine and the World need your honest Leadership. Thank you.

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@BBCBreaking Trump and Vance have reached THE all time low. I can barely believe what I’ve just witnessed. And feel sick to my stomach. My heart and loyalty is with President Zelensky. A true leader of people.

@MartinSLewis Clueless here. To keep within the basic tax band should I only drawdown a little from my Pension P/A and not any large sum to avoid my annual income being taxed at a higher tax band ? Hence being taxed twice on my hard earned pension pot.

@MartinSLewis Hi Martin, I’ve wondered why this only applies to finance prior to Jan 2021 please? I financed a new car Sept 2022. And no one explained any “ commission” details to me then? Should they have done?

A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.

With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.

Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.

To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.

@Peston She ends with a question mark ?

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@BBCBreaking Not a lot we can do about the individual conspiracy theorists , but we can and should boycott all the guilty shameful Media outlets who spread these stupid theories, and hounded for more news. God Bless her and her family. 😢

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@Peston Unbelievable! The Country is in debt, and £1M would be better spent on improving the lives of the living, and helping the living survive! Head in hands here!

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@bbclaurak you so let Ed Davies off the hook there Laura. He didn’t answer Lee Castletons question and you did not persist in pressing him for an answer? That’s not like you. Overall, his attitude appeared dismissive of the issue.

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@BBCNews Heavens above, we’ve know that for years, and could have told them for free. No case study needed! 🙄

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@Peston Id like to know - what investigation is to be done into the alleged “leak” , and why MPs took to the floor of the House to complain when the decision had been made so much earlier in the day, making a public mockery of British politics and Westminster. Juvenile games!

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@Peston If only Ms Truss had “rowed back” and checked the figures Before She cost US the electorate!!!

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Wow staggeringly since we launched our new car finance commission reclaiming tool at 7:30pm last night, already it has generated 130,000 complaint letters for people. If 40% of those end up due an average £1,100 as predicted, that'd mean £57,000,000 paid. See the guide... https://t.co/kUbRV7NVvg

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@BBCNews Yet another example of lack of due diligence ?

[Babs Cullen @CullenBabs]

@MartinSLewis So, is any household going to be any better off after the Autumn statement? Thought not, expected not. 😞
