I had a meeting with him to tell him that in this country we will stand with him and Ukraine, and I didn’t let him leave alone.
Ukraine in many senses is the defining cause of our time because this is a fight about the values of democracy and freedom that are hugely important to the United Kingdom.
There is now I think a sound footing, a sound foundation, and the party can go on and win a second term, which is what I always thought we could do.
It is hugely impactful. However much you try to make it not impact the family, and we all do, and I desperately try to protect Vic and the kids, there's no doubting it has an impact on them.
