Liz Truss has insisted that the UK "will not shy away" from taking action on the Northern Ireland Protocol.

       The Foreign Secretary last night told Brussels its proposed solutions would make the situation worse after EU leaders threatened a trade war.

       She is preparing to announce that the UK will unilaterally change parts of the protocol – which defines post-Brexit trading terms between mainland Britain and Northern Ireland – as early as next week.

       Ministers are expected to point to the impasse over power-sharing in Northern Ireland in the wake of last week's elections as proof that the protocol is unsustainable.

       There were warnings from the Continent about potential economic consequences if the UK reneges on promises it made in the 2019 Brexit withdrawal agreement. But, as political editor Ben Riley-Smith reports, Ms Truss issued a retort.

       Meanwhile, Boris Johnson used yesterday's Queen's Speech to say that helping families with the cost of living crunch and growing the economy were his "priority", but added there were limits to what he could do.

       Among 38 bills that were announced there were no new measures to offer immediate help with the crisis, prompting a wave of criticism from think tanks of all political leanings, opposition party leaders and Mr Johnson's own MPs.

       See all the key points from the Queen's Speech.

       Polish PM: Putin is worse than Hitler or Stalin

       Vladimir Putin is more dangerous than Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin, the Polish prime minister has warned as he called for the eradication of the Russian leader's "monstrous ideology".

       In an exclusive article for The Telegraph, Mateusz Morawiecki said Mr Putin's arsenal of weapons was "deadlier", adding that Mr Putin also had the internet at his disposal, which he has "infected… with millions of instances of fake news".

       It came as Avril Haines, the director of US national intelligence, told a Senate committee the Russian leader could fully mobilise his country or impose martial law if he felt the tide of war was turning against him.

       And British officials confirmed that Russia was behind a cyber attack that caused chaos across Europe hours before it invaded Ukraine. Kremlin cyber spies hacked a communication satellite intending to target the Ukrainian military but also knocked thousands of users offline.

       Overnight, missile strikes hit the southern Ukrainian port of Odesa. Follow our live blog.
