All Villa have to do to win the Champions League is beat Brugge, then likely Liverpool and Arsenal, then Bayern at their home ground. All eminently achievable. 😀 #utv

Time for Britain to increase defence spending to 2.5% as quickly as possible. Politicians should get around the table to look at going to 3% of GDP.
The question is not whether we do this - it's what happens if we do not.

Enjoying watching #ATABRU but starting to feel apprehensive for the last 16 tie. Someone say something to reassure me. #UTV

If you're wondering what the government - restricted by its own red lines - can do about the handbrake Brexit has put on our economy, our latest research suggests one answer.
Deep alignment with the EU could give UK GDP a boost of up to 2.2%. Full report 👇 12/12

As Peter points out, as long as the basic architecture of Brexit remains, Britain’s economy will underperform and we shall have higher taxes, lower living standards and worse public services than we need.

What needs to happen to avoid this all-too-likely disaster? My hope lies with Europe, with the appearance of a leader with Churchill’s resolve, the spirit to say we will never surrender, we will defend all of Europe, from Ukraine to Portugal.🧵15/17

I have always felt that China is looking for a way to emerge as the victor, and that is worryingly possible. If the US and Europe don't offer security to Ukraine, China might step into the gap, using its leverage on Russia. They could even offer a better deal than Trump's.🧵12/17

If Europe is unable to stand up, Ukraine will be forced to rely on itself and a smaller group of allies that continue to give support. Threats to European security will grow immensely. Putin will get braver, meaning more war in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and beyond.🧵10/17

President Trump will dump this dead cat deal at Europe's door and say take it or leave it. Then it's up to Europe to decide whether or not to stick up for Ukraine and support rejection of the deal.🧵8/17

The current US administration does not see the EU as it once did—culturally it sees itself aligned with the movements within Europe that are interested in destruction. And this raises the very concerning question—what now are the US interests in Europe?🧵4/17

Not missing your very appropriate point, I would like to observe that my dad had a Hillman Minx just like that!
