The moment that marked the start of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany. This year, Ukraine’s leader invited, Russian officials cold shouldered, we look at the politics of DDay diplomacy. It’s been a week that’s seen TV debates and election drama in the UK. Rishi Sunak Vs Kier Starmer - combative but clipped by the question master in their leader’s debate. And a week that’s been milk-shaken up by the return of a ghost of Brexit’s past.
