I’m in Kyiv to give Ukraine my support. The Ukrainians are fighting for their own freedom but also for Europe’s. And while economic conditions deteriorate in Europe, we must continue to support Kyiv’s struggle. Russia stops where Russia is stopped. #SlavaUkra ïni

The idea that Europe can be at peace if Russia prevails in Ukraine is absurd. The idea the US can have a China policy if Russia wins is laughable. This is a fight for our freedom, not just Ukraine’s. Russia must fail. The sooner we realise that the better.

I obviously don’t know where the ship was but if it was indeed in Crimea’s waters @AP should not be referring to this as Russian territorial waters but at the very least as “contested” territory. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine, annexed Crimea and is abrogating its waters.

A Russian warship fired warning shots to force a British destroyer from Russia’s waters near Crimea in the Black Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The ministry said the the British missile destroyer Defender had ignored a notice against intrusion.

It’s an unpopular view but I think MPs should be paid more not less. Peers too. Let’s make sure they aren’t tempted by outside influences or concerns for money. Let’s make sure professionals can afford to enter politics. An MP is one of the most important roles in our democracy.

@Shack_Rat To believe this, having seen the violence, rape and bestiality of the 7th October, to know that hostages have deliberately been sold or split up, to share this quote with no evidence whatsoever, is to be a propagandists for terrorism

Is there a large demonstration somewhere in a Western capital, say London or Berlin, against the Taliban and for the predominantly Muslim woman, girls, homosexuals, musicians etc of Afghanistan who are facing a horrific future?

Having scientists on a committee where they are meant to give the Govt their collective advice but then having them try to shape the eventual decision through individual interviews and statements to the media beforehand seems....suboptimal

Travelling in Copenhagen, Paris and DC recently I’ve used scooters to get to all my meetings. It was easy, safe and convenient. UK laws make no sense. Devolve the power to regulate use of scooters to cities and boroughs. Geo-tag to control usage. This is a misuse of police time.

Please be aware that Mechanically Propelled Scooters are illegal and can’t be used on roads. If you know someone that uses one, let them know. If stopped, riders face the possibility of it being seized, having points on their licence and/or being fined. #VisionZero @SuptAndyCox

@MrHarryCole @Gabriel_Pogrund It’s also just so ignorant. In pre-Civil Rights America Jews were barred from jobs, universities, golf courses and like Leo Frank falsely convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Synagogues and Jewish community centers, along with Black churches, were targets of bombings. Indeed…
