Sodden, utterly sodden... skysports.com/ipad/liveArtic… common sense is for a change when a whole day of washed cricket sees a day added. Currently it’s unfair on fans who have tickets it’s also unfair to not have a result. any other sport they have found a way to deal with weather

Concerning messages from @UnderSecT and @StateAVC’s A/S Stewart this week – Russia still has not given a formal explanation to State as to what its #NewSTART suspension entails in practical terms. It has been a week since Putin’s announcement.
.@UnderSecT: Russia’s actions threaten not only the viability of New START, but also the future of U.S.-Russian nuclear arms control. It is [important] now more than ever, that we continue to act responsibly in the area of strategic arms limitation. (2/2)

Happy #Chanukah to the Jewish community in the UK and around the world! Chag Sameach!
Very concerned by amendments to SAMLA included in the Economic Crime (transparency and enforcement) Bill which had third reading today. Government is taking powers that will allow for draconian designations, all being done in the name of helping Ukraine when it will likely not

The discussed options in Berlin for #Nordstream2:
1) a shutdown mechanism as leverage on Russia;
2) moratorium on the construction;
3) investments in Ukraine’s green infrastructure (hydrogen)
4) continuation of the construction
A combination of options 2 & 3 is conceivable.

Depressing to hear @Jeremy_Hunt proposing to give ambassadorships to business leaders. No major nation except US does this - & there are plenty of horror stories fm US to show why. Diplomacy is a profession, with its own skill set. Shd invest properly in @foreignoffice staff.

No woman needs to be “given a voice”. Everyone has a voice.
What is needed is more listening.
