I don't think it makes too much difference. The way our Government is set-up means it's not too dramatic for the Prime Minister to change and I can't see it having a big impact on Ukraine.
As I said Ben Wallace, the Defence Minister, has been the main guy when it comes to Ukraine to the point he has been working for years on arming them. Since there isn't much debate or contention in the U.K on our support for Ukraine I think it'll just tick on merrily in the background. Any additional funding required would be provided without a PM having to work to get it. You mention the Labour Party but even there Starmer has said he would kick anyone out of the PLP who tries to use this to blame NATO.
I think the cost of living crisis is a bigger argument as to why the Government can't have a leadership challenge. That's an issue that is more contentious and requires political direction.
