US envoy Steve Witkoff saluted Vladimir Putin as a 'humanitarian' in St Petersburg after Moscow freed Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old retired American teacher. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting told BBC Newsnight there is a 'very clear line between appeasement and a peace process'. Downing Street said it did 'not recognise that characterisation'. It is the Burnham government's first real rebuke of Trump's team over Russia.

Hubbard's sister says Russian guards starved and beat him, chanting 'Die, American. Die.'

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade called Witkoff's praise 'embarrassing' and said it made him 'look naive'.

Streeting's crocodile jibe echoes Churchill: an appeaser feeds the beast hoping to be eaten last.
