Almost 1,000 Ukrainian marines are set to return home after more than six months of "intense" training by the Royal Marines and Army Commandos. The training was announced by Rishi Sunak during a visit in February by Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, and this is the first time amphibious training has been delivered to Ukrainian forces. One of the recently trained Ukrainian marines said the course from the Royal Marines was "far more intense that I expected", and added: "All the way through, our British instructors have been beside us, showing us how to move and how to work together in a small team – this will make a difference when we return home to Ukraine."

"It gives the Bank of England a headache – they may well have been thinking about pausing interest rate increases soon, but this data will make that more difficult," said fund manager Neil Birrell from asset managers Premier Miton.
