My last night in USA: January ‘23 at a company meeting in Las Vegas and they put on a concert by The Killers just for us. Love USA but never going back.

The most amazing thing about this terrible Leicester side (currently 0-3 v Brentford at half time) is that they’ve got 8 more points than Southampton. How bad must they be?

So in addition to running down the health service, schools, roads and everything else, it turns out we have run down our defence capability. Is there anything that wasn’t driven into the ground in the years 2010-24?

Top diplomats from the #G20, the top economies, gathered in #SouthAfrica on Thursday and Friday for meetings focused on a packed global agenda. Despite the absence of the US's secretary of state Marco Rubio, discussions took place on #Ukraine and #climatechange: www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

Cheltenham and the surrounding area has a keen understanding of the need to invest in the defence of our nation and liberal democracy. It’s only right that in these dangerous times, our country finds a way to do that. I’m proud to back the Liberal Democrat plan to increase defence spending.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We're calling for cross-party talks to address increasing #defence spending - it could be paid for by using the frozen assets linked to Russia, & by increasing taxes on search engines and social media firms. UK defence plans need spelling out more than ever. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

In the waiting room at the ultra sound clinic (don’t ask). When someone gets called, the nurse always asks how they are and the answer is always “not too bad”. Very English. If you’re “not too bad”, why the fuck are you clogging up the NHS?

Love what Ed Davey is saying on Trump.
