Just back after leaving the country last Wednesday morning.

So glad I was away from some of the country’s bleakest moments this century.

Trump’s ‘historic’ second state visit and Michael McIntyre’s 25th anniversary celebrations

Agreed. The old phrase “this is how it starts”.

Looking forward to hearing the opinion of my Reform-voting associate and how it may affect his half-Ghanaian children 🤦

But is my elderly, Hong Konger mother-in-law still at risk?

That’s not the start to a Les Dawson joke, even though it sounds like one.

(Also, it’s not just about my family, it’s about the hundreds of thousands of people who try to keep this country working in the face of so much pressure)

It’s not just the US and UK, it’s the crazy shit that’s been going on in France, Germany, Poland, Czechia too; the Russian drones in Lithuania and Romania.

It’s all looking quite concerning.

The oddest thing is Orban voting against Putin.

Strange days indeed

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.
