Every single panelist on the midday Politics show was gung-ho for Ukraine firing long-range missiles into Russia, supervised by US technical staff, and praising Biden for "standing up" to Putin.

The panelists included a Labour MP, tory MP and a Guardian feature writer. No one even hinted or suggested that this could swiftly escalate into WW3 with the exchange of nuclear weapons. The mood music was "about time too" and "let's get on with it and teach him a lesson".

Sheer fucking madness.
