UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted a virtual meeting of Western leaders on March 15 to discuss rapidly developing plans for a “coalition of the willing” to oversee the implementation of a possible peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. The event was the latest in a series initiated by Starmer as he looks to provide Ukraine with long-term security and reduce the threat of a renewed Russian invasion.

Earlier in March, the British PM and his team also reportedly worked extensively behind the scenes to repair the damage following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s disastrous Oval Office meeting with US President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance. These efforts helped prepare the ground for a US ceasefire proposal that was subsequently accepted by Ukraine in Saudi Arabia.

Starmer’s recent contributions underline Britain’s longstanding commitment to Ukraine. Since the eve of Russia’s full-scale invasion more than three years ago, the UK has consistently been at the forefront of efforts to boost Ukrainian resilience and oppose Russian aggression. With the future of US assistance to Ukraine now in question amid the Trump administration’s pivot away from Europe, Britain is taking the lead as the continent adapts to new security realities and seeks to prevent a Russian victory in Ukraine.

Since the onset of Russia’s invasion in early 2022, the UK has been among Ukraine’s biggest backers. According to data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, British military aid up to the end of 2024 totaled $10.4 billion, putting the country in third place behind the United States and Germany among Ukraine’s international partners. Crucially, the UK has also often led by example in providing Ukraine with new categories of weapons including modern battle tanks and cruise missiles, paving the way for others to do likewise.

In addition to direct military aid, British support for Ukraine also extends to cooperation in areas including cybersecurity, intelligence, and countering hybrid threats. The UK continues to assist in the reform of the Ukrainian defense sector and provides training for Ukrainian military personnel. In the diplomatic arena, Britain advocates for tough sanctions measures against Russia and draws international attention to the Kremlin’s crimes in Ukraine.

This strategic support for Ukraine has enabled Britain to reassert its leadership position on the global stage following the country’s exit from the European Union. By supporting Ukraine, post-Brexit Britain has demonstrated that it remains a force in international affairs and a major contributor to European security. British support for the Ukrainian war effort has also made it possible to overcome Brexit-related tensions and build new partnerships with key European countries such as Germany, France, and Italy.

British backing for Ukraine is about much more than mere power projection, of course. There is a broad cross-party consensus in Westminster that Europe’s collective security is inextricably linked to the outcome of the war in Ukraine. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has coincided with a particularly turbulent period in British politics, with four different prime ministers and a change in government since February 2022. Throughout all this, the country’s position on Ukraine has remained largely unchanged.

Ties between London and Kyiv are now poised to strengthen further. The exact nature and objectives of a potential international peacekeeping force for Ukraine are not yet clear, but if current plans proceed as anticipated, it seems all but certain that British troops will feature prominently in any deployment. This would deepen a bilateral relationship that looks set to be at the heart of Europe’s new security architecture in the coming years.

As Europe adjusts to the dramatic shifts in US foreign policy initiated by the Trump administration, Britain is playing an important role as a transatlantic intermediary, while also leading European efforts to bolster Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression. Almost ten years after the country voted to leave the EU, Britain is now once again proving itself indispensable to European security.

RED VALLEY: WHILE YOU WERE HYPERSLEEPING‘Part Three’

[transcript]

SCENE 1

GORDON IS IN THE MESS ROOM, PLAYING HIMSELF AT POOL. MUSIC PLAYING FROM THE JUKEBOX IN THE DISTANCE. HE LEAVES THE TAPE ROLLING A LITTLE WHILE.

GORDON: Hello. It's umm… day 13. I'm in the mess. I am playing myself at pool and winning. Oh… I fixed the jukebox. Just another easy fix by Gordon Porlock...Warden of the Valley.

HITS A SHOT. POCKETS IT.

GORDON: Ahh… Boom. Warden of the Valley. That deserves a badge. Hey Blue, that deserves a badge, right?

BLUE SKY: I didn't quite catch that.

GORDON: That's what she says when I deserve a badge.

TAKES ANOTHER SHOT.

CUT.

GORDON: I thought I better take some of these duties seriously. The caretaking duties I mean. I remembered what the manager of the Overlook Hotel said to Jack Nicholson. Not the bit about the guy who went crazy and murdered his family, the boring stuff about going around the hotel and warming different parts of it, making sure the pipes don't freeze. So I've done that. I've systematically gone through all the radiators, and checked all the light switches, and most of them work, and when I find one that doesn't, I make a little note of it, and then I remember I have no idea what to do about any of that stuff so I just shut the door to that room and don't go in there again.

CUT TO GORDON IN THE TOILET AND READING A BIRD BOOK.

GORDON: I'm reading more too. The pink footed goose, or Anser Brachyrhynchus, doesn't breed in the UK but, probably Iceland or Greenland, and is just wintering here. Anyway, if they're going to shit on me every day, I thought I should at least be able to address them by their full scientific names.

HE GETS UP AND FLUSHES.CUT TO: GORDON WASHING UP IN THE FARMHOUSE. IN THE BACKGROUND AN ANCIENT RECORDING OF A CHRISTMAS CHOIR.

GORDON: Well I've really come to love this farmhouse. It's so peaceful. There's a.. a record player and lots of old Christmas records. And it's November so seems appropriate. Hey Blue, tell me something interesting about Christmas.

BLUE SKY: Hi Gordon, did you know that not only did Oliver Cromwell ban Christmas pudding and mince pies in the 17th century, the law was never officially rescinded, so technically it's still illegal to eat them.

GORDON: Awesome.

CUT TO: GORDON IN THE CORRIDOR UPSTAIRS IN THE BASE, MOVING BOXES.

GORDON: So, a lot of the archiving I think is just literally moving boxes of tapes. I mean, sure, I'll need to go through them some time, but there's no rush.

SUDDENLY A PHONE STARTS RINGING, SOME DISTANCE AWAY. GORDON STOPS IN HIS TRACKS.

GORDON: What the hell is that?

BEAT AS HE THINKS.

GORDON: Hmm.

BLUE SKY: The phone is ringing.

GORDON: I mean I'm really busy, with these-

BEAT. THE RINGING IS INCESSANT.

BLUE SKY: The phone is ringing.

GORDON: For God's sake.

BLUE SKY: The phone is ringing.

HE PICKS IT UP. SOMEONE IS EATING ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE.

GORDON: Hello?

CLIVE: Alright sugartits.

GORDON: Clive? Oh… Um., Bryony isn't here right now…

CLIVE: I know. Just wanted to check in on you.

GORDON: Oh er… Normally Grace or Pam would do a check in-

CLIVE: I know that too Gordon. Cos they work for me. Like you do.

GORDON: Of course, yeah, sure.

CLIVE: So how are you, Gordon?

GORDON: Oh, I'm great. Yeah… Great.

CLIVE: You doing what we're paying you to do, right?

GORDON: What do you mean?

CLIVE: Bryony asked you to look after the place and sort out the archives, didn't she? You know, the archives of the work we do at Red Valley. The world-changing, potentially limitlessly lucrative work that, frankly, is the only reason that gloomy little shithole hasn't been flattened by a giant Monty Python foot.

GORDON: Yes, yes, I'm on it.

CLIVE: You're on it.

GORDON: I'm on it.

CLIVE: You're sure you're on it? You're not just playing yourself at pool and listening to power ballads on the jukebox you repaired?

GORDON SCOFFS IN EMBARRASSED CONFUSION.

CLIVE: You know a Blue Sky unit is a microphone as well as a virtual assistant right?

BLUE SKY: Hello.

GORDON: I, uh. I did not know that actually.

HE PUTS HIS HAND OVER THE SPEAKER AND HISSES TO THE BLUE SKY UNIT.

GORDON: I thought we were friends!

CLIVE: I mean. It's kind of...I've already turned up on your doorstep once before after spying on you...

BLUE SKY: I found this on Friends. Friends is a situation comedy-

GORDON: Oh, don't even get me started on that.

CLIVE: What are you doing, Gordon?

GORDON: Oh er… Nothing, nothing, I'm just...I'm here.

CLIVE: That's just it. You see, I need you to do more than just be there, Gordon. I need you to work through those archives, mate. In fact- that's not even true. I don't give a liquid shit about the archives actually, I just need you to get everything on Warren Godby looking ship fucking shape. Because he's the ticket. For me, for you, for everything. If I find out you've been leaning back enjoying that ex-rental copy of Passion of the Christ, we're going to have a problem.

GORDON: I'll get on it, Clive. Right away.

CLIVE: Adda boy. Off you trot then.

GORDON: Yeah. Oh, Clive?

CLIVE: What?

GORDON: There's no one...else, around here, is there?

CLIVE: What do you mean?

GORDON: No one else around, any neighbours? Or Overhead people, who might want to visit, you know, in the middle of the night, then change their mind and drive away?

CLIVE SIGHS.

CLIVE: I don't give a shit if you're haunted by local sprites or some Highland bumpkin is plucking up the courage to invite you to the next caber tossing festival, keep your eyes on the cryonically preserved prize.

CLIVE HANGS UP.

PAUSE.

BLUE SKY: Is there anything I can help you with, Gordon?

GORDON: You and me are done professionally.

CUT.

MUSIC BREAK.

CUT TO: WARREN TURNS ON THE RECORDER AND PUTS IT DOWN. HE IS EXTREMELY OUT OF BREATH.

WARREN: Hi. Warren Godby here. Just got… back from a run. 8 o'clock in the morning, already done a run. Haven't even had breakfast. All 6 of us, along with umm…what’s his name Doctor umm… Doctor Mister Motivator. I don’t know. Do you know what, I started this too soon, give me a minute.

CUT.

GORDON: Blue Sky, save the project.

BLUE SKY: Remember you can call me Blue?

GORDON: We're not on first name terms anymore, Ms Sky.

BLUE SKY: Project saved. Would you like to play the next recording?

GORDON: Have you checked it already for my muted words and phrases?

BLUE SKY: There are no mentions of specific crimes or details relating to the sentence of Godby, Warren.

GORDON: Okay, go ahead.

THE NEXT RECORDING.

WARREN: Hello, hi. So I don't need to be so sycophantic. Apparently, there are no bonus points for obsequious behaviour or indeed, brown nosing, as Dr Halbech calls it, of any kind.

WARREN: Now that I'm in my little bedroom, and I've got my three minutes, erm… I do have a few thoughts about the induction day, you know that I could share. This is clearly a second hand induction pack. The main clue is the massive cock and balls that have been doodled over the contents page. Unless that’s your new Overhead watermark or something.

WARREN PULLS THE BLURB FROM HIS INDUCTION PACK.

WARREN: Right let's look at this. 'Congratulations from everyone at Overhead Industries! Here at Red Valley, our state of the art facility, you're about to join our team of expert clinicians and researchers, supported by our humm…caring, dedicated and highly qualified hospitality team that will make this experience closer to a rural retreat than a scientific study!'

WARREN: I take issue with the term 'state of the art', I suppose. My expectations for Red Valley were quite high. Er… I knewit was a laboratory underneath a military station in the wilderness, so of course I imagined, not unreasonably I think, Area 51 from Independence Day. White lab coats, stuttering science nerds played by Star Trek actors, maybe something like that crossed with the Dolph Lundgren training montage from Rocky IV, I don't know.Now, disappointment I can handle. I'm used to that. But I guess I was expecting, as a minimum, the kind of security that one might find in a highly guarded penal institution, like the one I just left, because, at the end of the day, all the new guests are hardened, violent convicted criminals after all. So when, at the end of today's induction session, Harry Reed decides to brain Stephens over the head with a fucking metal chair for making eye contact with him, I was somewhat surprised when absolutely fucking nothing happened, apart from Stephens being dragged by the feet out of the room leaving behind an oil slick of blood coming out of his head and Harry staring at us all with a look that could cut diamonds while folding and unfolding his arms every 3 seconds like a fucking maniac, which is exactly what he is.

WARREN: I think there are literally only 3 people working here. And there are six of us. That is bananas. This is going to end like Straw fucking Dogs. Goodnight.

CUT.

GORDON: Right. Well then.

BLUE SKY: There is a short addendum.

GORDON: Oh. Er… Go ahead.

PLAYS.

WARREN: Quick update. Little group meeting just now to inform us that Stephens and Reed are leaving the programme. Infact, they've apparently already left. Which is weird, cos there's only one way in or out of this valley and no one’s come or gone all day. So that's definitely not disconcerting whatsoever. I'm going to go and stare at the ceiling for the rest of the night. Bye.

CUT.

FOOTSTEPS ALONG THE CORRIDOR IN THE LOWER LEVEL, REACHING A DOOR. GORDON OPENS IT AND WALKS INTO A ROOM- THE CRYO SUITE. EVENTUALLY HE REACHES HIS DESTINATION.

GORDON: Evening Warren.

GORDON PLACES HIS RECORDER ON THE METALLIC CRYO POD.

GORDON: Apologies I haven't been down to see you much. You look well. I can't actually see you. I thought they would've put windows in a cryopod. So people could see you floating about. But, I guess it's nice to have privacy, isn't it?

PAUSE.

GORDON: I've been struggling Warren. With what's going on here. The truth is I have to make a choice. To be a friend to you or not. I'm going to keep listening to your tapes. But I'm not going to find out what you did. I'd like to say it's because I'm respecting your privacy, but the truth is I recognise the guys on these recordings. He doesn't sound too different to me. He's scared, he's lonely, he hates exercise. Look… maybe you're not who I think you are. But given the company we keep, you might still be the least awful person I currently work with. So, let’s be friends. I'll be back tomorrow. And maybe I’ll bring Top Trumps or something.

END.

THE FAMILY EXPERIMENT by JOHN MARRS

Some families are virtually perfect… The world's population is soaring, creating overcrowded cities and an economic crisis. And in the UK, the breaking point has arrived. A growing number of people can no longer afford to start families, let alone raise them. But for those desperate to experience parenthood, there is an alternative. For a monthly subscription fee, clients can create a virtual child from scratch who they can access via the metaverse and a VR headset. To launch this new initiative, the company behind Virtual Children has created a reality TV show called The Substitute. It will follow ten couples as they raise a virtual child from birth to the age of eighteen but in a condensed nine-month time period. The prize: the right to keep their virtual child, or risk it all for the chance of a real baby…

RATING :: 5 / 5

Review under the cut! 🚨 Beware SPOILERS! 🚨

Please remember that these are only my opinions. Read the book yourself - your mileage may vary. 💜

🚨 TRIGGER WARNINGS - child abuse, child murder, murder, kidnapping, violence, torture🚨

Book two of the 100 Books in 2025 challenge, and I went into this one more hesitant than the first. I was still excited, of course, but after DONATE was such a disappointment, I was trying to curb my expectations. I didn't want to get burned again, not so soon!

I'm not going to go into a play-by-play like I did with DONATE. As badly as I want to, this review would end up CRAZY long - SO MUCH HAPPENS, SO FAST.

The Substitute is a new reality show following several couples as they compete to raise a virtual child for nine months, while the world follows their every movement - and I mean EVERY movement - in the metaverse. They only get ten minutes a week to mute their microphones for private conversations. At every turn, their HUDs are filled with hearts, which are reactions from the audience - red meaning audience approval, black meaning disapproval. Each couple receives £250,000 at the start of the experiment - the average cost to raise a child in the UK - and must spend that money and that money only to raise their virtual child. At the end of the experiment, the winner receives either the right to keep what's left of the £250,000 along with their "Meta Child" - or they get the full £250,000 to start a "Real World" family of their own, paid out at the birth of the child.

The losers? They lose the money and the child is deleted from the Metaverse forever.

They, of course, still have their jobs and lives outside of the Metaverse - it's not like they can eat or go to the bathroom in virtual reality, and the Real World comes with bills to pay. The only time the couples get true privacy from the show is when they take off their VR headsets, but they're all celebrities now, so their Real World now presents a whole new set of challenges for them to face.

Because each virtual child only spends one IRL month at each stage of life, the book is broken up into parts, one per stage - newborn, nine months, two years, five years, eight years, twelve years, fourteen years, sixteen years, and eighteen years. Each part is broken up into chapters, each chapter following a different couple:

Rufus Green and Kitty Carter, a "normal" couple who simply lack the money to start a family of their own.

Woody and Tina Finn, another "normal" couple who are ready to start a family.

Cadman N'yu and Gabriel Macmillan, a gay celebrity and his partner/assistant, desiring a child despite their inability to have one of their own.

Dimitri and Zoe Taylor-Georgiou, a couple that tragically lost their Real World child several years ago and feel it is time to put the past behind them and walk toward their "happily ever after"

Hudson Wright, a single man, "here to prove that single parents deserve their seat at the table."

Selena and Jaden Wilson, another "normal" couple who lack the money to start their own family.

The chapters are interspersed with advertisements, news reports, and chat logs of viewers discussing what just happened on the show. After every stage of life, host Autumn Taylor interviews each couple to give them a chance to plead their case or defend themselves if things go awry.

Every stage of life, the viewers vote on a challenge to present to one of the couples - Woody and Tina, the very first couple shown, are given a newborn with a severe case of coup. Woody, taking care of Virtual Daughter Olivia while Tina tries to sleep, can't take the incessant crying anymore. He shakes her until she dies a terrible, virtual death, dissipating into pixels in his very hands.

Of course, he and Tina are immediately disqualified, and this begins a side plot that is woven throughout the story - do the Virtual children have the same rights and protections as Real World children, or are they simply pixels and code to be treated however you wish?

This is where I'll stop recapping the story. Seriously, there are so many twists and turns and surprise reveals that attempting to summarize it would turn into a novel itself.

This book is incredibly fast-paced. Some of the chapters do slow down, giving us time to get to know the couples and their Virtual Children far better than we'd ever want to. Some of the fast-paced sections, I actually had to stop and reread to make sure I'd read it right, which can absolutely stop the momentum and the enjoyment of the book dead in its tracks, but it happens rarely enough that I almost feel silly bringing it up.

The cast is fleshed-out and diverse as hell. Every time you think you've reached an understanding with a character, Marrs throws in a twist backstory or motivation that turns your understanding on its head. Even at the end of the book, in chapters that take place a year after the show ends, you're still learning new things about the characters, and I love that. There is one character's story that ends...somewhat abruptly and isn't explained super well, instead described vaguely so you can make your own assumptions. I was a little frustrated by that. I know every other character like the back of my hand - why can't I know them?

The virtual children are designed fantastically. I was expecting them to be a little off-putting and robotic, but they act like real actual children, with tantrums and play-time and messes galore. You really do feel like you're watching this family's every move, and they definitely know you're there. That sounds creepy, and I think that was the point of the book, to be honest. It is creepy to watch their every move, their every mistake, their every choice. But it's written so well that you can't help but turn the page. It's like watching a car crash on the highway, but you're not flying past at breakneck speeds.

The way Marrs uses the virtual world is really cool. Every couple gets to design their own virtual home - one person uses a more Asian-style aesthetic, another prefers the mountains, another chooses downtown New York City. You are constantly reminded that this is a game show by a slew of hearts, both red and black, flickering across the screen, sometimes so intensely that the characters can't see through the barrage. After the half-way point, they use the ten-minute-privacy mute option quite liberally, giving us even more insight into what's going on behind the scenes.

A fair warning - when children die, and as stated above, they do die, it is written very clinically. They are, after all, technically pixels and code. The reactions of the viewers and the "parents", however, are very real and very visceral.

There are also backstory segments scattered throughout, and a lot of these backstory segments can be quite brutal. Seriously, this is not a book you should pick up lightly. If you're sensitive to any of the triggers I've mentioned above, do not read this book. Marrs goes into graphic detail in every scene and doesn't pull any punches. Please take care of yourselves. Your health and safety comes first.

Overall, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It gripped me from page one, and I didn't put it down until I finished it. If you like dystopian sci-fi tech-heavy futures, this is the book for you. If you like family drama, this is for you. Psychological thrills? Check. Whump ranging from mild to horrifying? Double check. Seriously, check it out if you're in a good headspace to. I genuinely think you won't regret it.

Thanks for reading my book review! Remember, this review is just my opinion. I (almost) always recommend you read the book yourself and see if you like it!

Building a Thriving HR Career with CIPD Courses in the UK in 2025

In 2025, the world of human resources (HR) is evolving rapidly, fueled by technological advancements, changing workplace dynamics, and the growing importance of employee well-being. In this dynamic landscape, gaining a competitive edge is essential for HR professionals. One of the most recognized pathways to achieving this in the UK is through Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) qualifications. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking to advance, CIPD courses offer a roadmap to success in HR.

Why CIPD Matters in 2025

CIPD qualifications have long been considered the gold standard for HR and learning and development (L&D) professionals in the UK. As of 2025, they remain highly relevant due to several factors:

Recognition by Employers: CIPD qualifications signal to employers that you possess the expertise and practical knowledge needed to excel in HR roles.

Alignment with Modern HR Practices: The courses are regularly updated to reflect emerging trends, such as AI-driven recruitment, hybrid work policies, and DE&I initiatives.

Career Progression: Whether it’s achieving CIPD Level 3 for foundational knowledge or Level 7 for strategic leadership, these qualifications pave the way for career growth.

Networking Opportunities: CIPD’s active community allows professionals to connect, share insights, and stay informed about industry developments.

Career Pathways with CIPD Qualifications

1. Entry-Level Roles with CIPD Level 3

If you’re new to HR, the CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate is an excellent starting point. It provides an introduction to core HR functions, including recruitment, employee relations, and performance management. Graduates often secure roles such as HR Assistant or HR Coordinator, earning salaries starting around £20,000–25,000 annually.

2. Mid-Level Positions with CIPD Level 5

For professionals with some experience, the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma helps deepen expertise in areas like talent management, employee engagement, and organisational development. Roles like HR Advisor, Learning and Development Specialist, or HR Business Partner become attainable, with salaries ranging from £30,000 to £45,000.

3. Strategic Leadership with CIPD Level 7

The CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma is ideal for those aiming for senior leadership positions. This qualification focuses on strategic HR management, business acumen, and organisational transformation. Graduates often move into roles such as HR Director, Head of Talent, or Chief People Officer, earning upwards of £70,000.

The Role of E-Learning in 2025

CIPD courses have embraced e-learning, making qualifications more accessible than ever. With flexible online options, professionals can balance their studies with work commitments. Advanced virtual learning platforms, like Avado’s, offer interactive modules, live tutor sessions, and collaborative peer forums to enhance the learning experience.
