Here to learn. And with others, to face up to the uncomfortable realities of climate change and the need for fairer distribution of wealth in these desperate times.
Pro-Europe, pro caring for future generations, pro Ukraine.

I'm lucky enough to walk often in my local woods. I record the changing seasons with a smartphone snap each time and have decided to post these here, rather than on Instagram, to add a bit of nature's beauty to the mix.
Enjoy your day.

Good meeting with Keir Starmer in Munich.
Europe and the UK share similar challenges.
it is natural that we work closer to protect our people and common interests.
We had a successful summit last year - let's keep the momentum and deliver at the next one.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway….

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?
