President Zelensky is beginning his address to great applause. He is speaking in English and says he’s here to represent Ukrainian warriors.
He was given a thunderous welcome at Westminster Hall.
Speaking of his country, Zelensky says Ukraine “will always come out on top of evil”, which is met with another round of applause.
“This lies at the core of our, and also your, traditions,” he tells MPs watching on in Westminster Hall.
It was a barnstorming speech where everyone seems to be in unity, for once.
But there were a few things people spotted.
PMQs
He was in attendance at PMQs, which gave Sunak a safety blanket for this session.
It did beg the question: “When in trouble what is the pattern for UK PMs – oh of course hide behind Zelenskyy?”
If only Johnson!
There was also the question of Sunak’s family making money in Russia?
Where was Boris?
How was Larry the Cat?
Should Ukraine join the EU?
Raab isn’t happy, is he going to beat up Starmer or maybe Sunak?!
