This is really shocking news from Georgia. The are using WW1 chemical weapons on their own people. They are on the frontline of Russian aggression and authoritarianism. Vladimir Putin cannot get his way, we must stand up for Georgian democracy. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It’s impossible not to be deeply moved by Jacob’s story. His mother, Carly, in the midst of her grief, is bravely spreading this vital message: Privately owned e-scooters are not safe or legal on our roads. Please do not buy them this Christmas season. #NoEmptyChairs

Fortunately @davidlammy you have the chance to vote for a customs union by backing our bill next week. See you in the Aye lobby?

Hi Rory Stewart ALASTAIR CAMPBELL The Rest Is Politics Your coverage of Georgia last year was excellent, but it seems to have slipped off the radar. A reminder that they’re still fighting and need help. Now reports say chemical agents have been used in water cannons on protestors.

We must believe Trump when he says liberal Europe is a threat. Trump’s attack on Venezuela only reinforces the new law of the jungle world. Smaller liberal democracies either form a new alliance as a power bloc together or be satellites of great power autocrats. It is up to us.

Weak.

Europe is crying out for closer relations with Britain. A customs union would boost growth, restore confidence in bond markets, and save billions in debt costs.

Donald Trump, thank you for your attention to this matter

This is no way to run a government.

Quite right. There should be no place in the Lords for people like Mandelson. While we are at it we should kick out Baroness Michelle Mone and Lord Lebedev of Hampton and Siberia - combined they've spoken 9 times over 22 years of "service" Get these Tory cronies out as well!

David Lammy lost his cool when I quoted the IfG report, that clearly shows eroding the right to a jury trial won’t have a substantial impact on reducing the Crown Courts backlog. No government modelling has been published. Is this government just guessing more people will enter a

Mike Martin MP detonated Starmer’s defence on #PoliticsLive Appointing Mandelson wasn’t just bad optics, it was a national security failure. 👿 Continuing ties with a convicted paedophile 👿 Passing sensitive info via private email 👿 Knowing adversaries could read it 👿

From today’s Russian papers: “You don’t have to be an economist to forecast a recession: Russia’s export revenue is falling, budget revenues are falling, taxes rising, consumer demand shrinking…” Another paper: “Oil & gas revenues fall…rise in bread prices.” #ReadingRussia
