Simply using the absurd phrase “the Ukraine conflict” says a lot. Calling out the opportunism and hypocrisy of other nations doing business with Russia is fine (China, ahem), but admit you are funding a dictator‘s unprovoked war by choice.

The greatness of a player is not measured in stats or trophies. It's measured by the indelible mark they leave in the memories of their club's supporters. By that rule, Son is a modern legend, a Spurs great forever. Farewell, you wonderful man.

This means the UK has a legal duty to speed up the transition to a cleaner, greener economy and block any new licences for the extraction of fossil fuels.

This ICJ ruling should be the moment we draw a line.
