A few further thoughts. This Summit was unimaginable 3 years ago in the doldrums of the Brexit wars. Two things have transformed the context: Putin’s war in Ukraine and Trump’s indifference to allies and European security. The Sec and Defence pact is therefore good for UK and EU/

While the Conservatives undoubtedly left this government a dire fiscal inheritance, that's no excuse to push more pensioners into poverty as the temperature plummets.
Cutting this allowance will drive more vulnerable older people into poverty, forcing them to choose between heating and eating.

Good news. We need to support the courts without fear or favour. Remember these were linked to warrants for Hamas leaders too who have since been killed. No one should be above the courts and we just respect the process.
Situation in the State of Palestine:
#ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I rejects the State of Israel’s challenges to jurisdiction and issues warrants of arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. Learn more ⤵️ icc-cpi.int/news/situation-s…
Great to see from @MP4Stratford - this is what residents get when they elect a Liberal Democrat in Warwickshire.

Sad to hear of the death of @TonyCampolo - I recall hearing him speak in @StMarysWarwick a few years ago. When asked WWJD about global poverty his answer was something like 'well, he wouldn't be driving around in a Mercedes'. @RedLetterXians @compassionuk
Learning this evening about @LeamingtonFC as a community club – at Kenilworth, England

"This tax is cruel on those families, but it's also incredibly stupid in terms of what it means for our country's ability to feed ourselves."
@TimFarron
This is a harrowing watch, whether you ever met #JohnSmyth and went to a Iwerne camp with the encouragement of your school as I did or not. Thanks @cathynewman, @andrewgraystone et al channel4.com/news/the-words-… via @cathynewman

🗣️ @LibDems leader @EdwardJDavey and @timfarron address the HUGE crowd of farmers who have flocked to London.
Richard Dickson retweeted
"There's a real sense of betrayal...they feel this is an assault on farming."
@TimFarron on the anger felt by many farmers over the government's family farm tax.

Raising concerns about the activity of Russian intelligence vessels in the waters around the UK and Ireland today - something we have seen before in the Northern Isles. Glad the minister indicated that the government is considering this in the strategic defence review next year.
Richard Dickson retweeted
"Tomorrow marks 1000 days since the outbreak of Putin's illegal invasion, and we have an incumbent White House administration casting doubts on US support.
"Will the minister confirm that the government plans to authorise of storm shadow missiles?"

"We're calling for GP surgeries to be exempt because obviously operationally to the end user they are part of the NHS and we can't afford to lose those appointments."
@HelenMorganMP speaks on the damage the NIC increase will have on GP practices.
At WCC Cabinet meeting today briefly asking questions again about the much delayed, over budget £39M A46 Stoneleigh Junction project - I even suggested what the answers should be @highwaysmag @DominicBrowne1 facebook.com/share/p/18ApfTZ… – at Kenilworth, England
It's when the equivalent of today's Cathedral Dean @deancov spoke about friendship, reconciliation and forgiveness. It's why I'm proud to be at @covcampus in the UK's only city of peace and reconciliation. It's why #Coventry welcomes refugees and migrants. @coventrycc 2/2
Today 14th November is an important day in the history of #Coventry. 84 years ago today large parts of the city were destroyed, including the old @CovCathedral, and many people were killed as a result of air raids. But 15th November is a more more important date.... 1/2
