Disgusting Russian war crime that can never be forgiven or forgotten. I pray the Russian barbarians who committed such a heinous crime against a Ukrainian child face justice one day and the appropriate retribution.

A pleasure to introduce the new Portuguese Ambassador to Slovakia, H.E. Maria-João Lopes Cardoso, at a welcoming dinner held in her honour in Bratislava. Proud of my long connection with that beautiful country & now with the growing Portuguese community of SK. João Cravinho

The one redeeming feature I thought Johnson had, his support for Ukraine, just casually abandoned. No matter how low the bar, Johnson will be a squalid disappointment. A worthless man.

Some of us confidenty predicted this. As a London MEP in 2016 I was repeatedly warning of damage to City & London's economy. Great pity UK business and its financial services were not more outspoken. Many were afraid to speak out for fear of upsetting Leave voting customers.

What delicious irony! Closer UK trade with EU as global Britain fails as a trade substitute but UK no longer has a say in EU single market. Guess joining EEA SM & legislation by fax wouldn't be such a problem in future then for UK 😆

Merci à la France. Please Germany send Taurus soon. Innocent Ukrainians continue to die from Russian war crimes daily.

EU-Mercosur FTA would be marvellous & something I've long supported but my hopes have been raised before but always dashed for various protectionist or environmental reasons. Getting South America closer to EU commercially is top priority as a vast market with close cultural ties

You do wonder what motivates a serious exPM of competence & gravitas to take such a gov job for a year & have to embrace the new Brexit order with the zeal of the convert. My only conclusion is could he be in line for a top int. job & needs to network & lobby foreign governments?

And then they claim Brexit was all about restoring democratic control to the UK parliament. EU with its checks & balances & EP scrutiny is more democratic than UK with elective dictatorship under FPTP & crown prerogative which denies parliament a say in foreign & security matters

The British are waking up to the tragedy of hard Brexit and its historic mistake. I hope I live long enough to see it reversed.

Brexit fallout finally dawns on London’s stock market.

Clues point to Britain's 2016 vote as City suffers brutal losing streak.

Brexit is breaking our economy.

Brexit has cost the UK £140bn so far and could see the nation £311bn worse off by the middle of the next decade, according to a new report commissioned by London's mayor, Sadiq Khan.

Should the Uk rejoin the European Union?

Brexit the negative dividend which keeps on taking away. Some of us repeatedly warned it would be so in 2016 but dismissed as unpatriotic remoaners.

Some of us made the case for UK to Brexit to discharge Referendum result but to stay in both in 2017 but dismissed out of hand and never seriously debated in Parliament. The exceptionalist Global Britain line from Brexiteers sadly was never challenged by BBC or Labour opposition

As a cancer surviver and a retired NHS doctor this statistics is both depressing and unsurprising as I know how difficult it is now to urgently see a GP for a first consultation. Delayed diagnosis normally means worse prognosis irrespective of modern treatment availability.
