And some, in their desperation to get potty training right, try an incoherent mix of all three. Whichever technique we choose, however, what is clear is that we are all doing it later than we used to. The average toddler is potty trained at three, an estimated nine months after its grandparents. Now the Big Toilet Project, a team of scientists, wants the public’s help to understand why — and perhaps reverse the trend. When it comes to potty training, they are asking what works, when does it start in different parts of the world and why is it that, according to

“OVERSEAS aid is an investment in conflict prevention,” the Bishop to the Armed Forces, the Rt Revd Hugh Nelson, has said. To cut foreign aid from 0.5 to 0.3 per cent of GDP to fund UK defence “is both morally wrong and strategically unwise”, he said. The seeds of tomorrow’s conflicts are being sown today, and overseas aid is an investment in conflict prevention. The Bishop of Worcester, Dr John Inge, described her resignation as “an honourable act in the face of a terrible situation”. The chief executive of Christian Aid, Patrick Watt, welcomed Ms Dodds’s “strong stand” against the “brutal” aid cuts.

At a shameful White House meeting last week between convicted felon/adjudicated sexual abuser President Trump and his #2, JD Vance, Trump and Vance bullied and yelled at Ukrainian President Zelensky in a televised display of anger and resentment toward the leader of a democratic country that’s been invaded by Russia. Beyond this, as bad as the made-for-Russia meeting already was, Brian Glenn, White House correspondent for the right-wing cable channel Real America’s Voice, chimed in and berated Zelenskyy over his war time clothing, to the delight of Trump’s cabinet. You can see the harassment of Zelenskyy over his war time attire playing out in the clip above. If you’d like more context or want to see the entirety of the cringy meeting, you can watch a video of the whole 50-minute meeting deteriorating into a bullying session here.

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, I read Max Hastings’s piece with, as ever, admiration for the lucidity with which he expresses his views and the firm moral basis that underpins them (“Stay firm in face of Trump’s divide and rule”, Mar 3). However, there are two significant differences between the planning of Operation Unthinkable in 1945 and the present situation. First, the USSR already had a firm grip on the whole of Poland while Ukraine today is 80 per cent free of Russian subjugation. Second, Ukraine has shown a capacity and will to resist to a degree that Poland, despite heroic efforts, was not in a position to do after September 1939.
