No issues with No 10 holding parties as long as she doesn't appear on Tv and tell us not to.

No doubt to ask for more weapons.
Were partly in this mess for supporting him.
I'm starting to wonder if its really worth it.

Alternatively, go all out with support for Ukraine so that Russia gets defeated and we can start buying Russian gas again.

Say £5bn tops in weapons costs compared to the £90bn package announced today and the yet-to-be-announced costs for supporting businesses.

No real alternative other than letting Putin bully and invade Eastern Europe.

All we're really doing is bringing forward what would happen anyway and that's Europe reducing its dependence on Russian energy. If we didn't support Ukraine then Putin would be looking at Moldova and elsewhere and we would be in the same situation, with Russia threatening to withhold gas if we stand up to them.

Russia are not going to be defeated, not in the way you think anyway.

Then perhaps we (they) should have reduced reliance first (the UK isnt really reliant on it).

Former President Trump, Warned and ridiculed Germany for relying too heavily on Russian gas in 2018, he was laughed at and berated by German politicians, but he had an absolute point that being of where we are now.

To be fair, Trump was one of a very large number of politicians who warned Germany of its folly, going back over 30-odd years. Eastern European leaders, especially from the Baltic states, were especially vocal. If Trump joined the chorus in 2018 he was actually pretty late to the party.

2018 was four years after the invasion and annexation of Ukrainian territory which should have given us all a heads-up on the need for greater energy sovereignty.
