A huge thank you to TfL staff Amir, Kevin & Ayo for their help after my knee gave way at Canary Wharf leaving me unable to stand + to the amazing staff at The Royal London Hospital, who provided great care. Sunday's ⚽ injury worse than it appeared. Need some L plates for the crutches...
👏
Look forward to The Labour Party matching this timescale
And obviously we need to hear how it will be paid for
But good that our politicians are recognising the need to spend more on defence (we also need to improve how the money is spent)

A lot of the news is profoundly depressing at the moment. This has taken too long but it is very welcome. Speaker Mike Johnson has put his job on the line to do the right thing 👏 And every other democracy in the world should be asking: what more can we do?

Not easy leading when you have a very small majority and some of your own party have no sense of the national interest. Taken longer than many of us hoped, but Speaker Mike Johnson is now putting his job on the line to do what is right and he deserves respect for that
EU proposes undoing harm Brexit has done to young people on both sides of Channel. No surprise this Government isn't interested, but what a miserable response from Labour. Neither party pro growth or the interests of our young people #depressing bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Brilliant as usual from Robert Hutton
