‘Playtime is over’: Nick Ferrari tears into government for shambolic response to Ukraine conflict

"Get them both out and get in some grown-ups", the LBC presenter said of Priti Patel and Liz Truss, adding: "Why should we have to live with this incompetence as we watch mothers and babies being shelled and losing their lives."

Nick Ferrari launched a blistering assault on the government’s response to the conflict in Ukraine this morning.

The LBC presenter hit out at home secretary Priti Patel for her chaotic handling of the refugee crisis and took aim at foreign secretary Liz Truss for telling Brits to go fight in the war before backtracking on the comments just days later.

Patel is reportedly considering reducing bureaucratic security checks for Ukrainian refugees amid criticism over the handling of the crisis.

Despite more than 2.1 million people having fled Ukraine according to UN estimates, the latest figures from Downing Street say Britain has granted just 957 visas.

Truss has withdrawn her support for British nationals to go join the fight against Vladimir Putin’s forces in Ukraine after being contradicted by colleagues.

She insisted that she had been just “expressing support for the Ukrainian cause” when she earlier said she would “absolutely” support UK nationals who chose to go to join the war.

Now Ms Truss said there are “better ways” to contribute to the efforts, such as making donations, as she stressed the travel advice for individuals not to go to Ukraine.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
