Cllr Patrick Keating

It was an excellent evening at the UK-Japan trade relationship dinner in Parliament!

We had productive discussions with Honda about Royal Portbury Docks in #NorthSomerset - a vital gateway for Honda vehicles and Japanese automotive imports to the UK.

Honda is delivering an exciting drop in Speaker's Yard, enabling Parliamentarians to experience a selection of Honda products first hand. 🚗 🏍

If you are on the Parliamentary estate today (Tuesday) between 12 and 3, pop by and say hello. (We will have umbrellas 🌂!)

Lessons from the U.S.-U.K. trade deal: Don’t appease a bully The tariff agreement signed between London and Washington does little to boost the U.K. economy and, despite appearances, is a diplomatic defeat for Prime Minister Starmer.

Commentary: Post-Brexit Britain aspired to chart an independent course, but it has capitulated to the tariff pressures of an erratic Trump. Other countries should not follow suit.

Tank duels! #boltaction

Some superb reads here.

Having consumed these for professional military education, I’d suggest that there’s more than a few of these which would equally interest the hobby wargamers out there!

NEW: Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at the age of 100.

He was elected in the 1976 presidential election for a single term. He enjoyed a remarkable post-presidency, based on philanthropy. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Happily received a copy of Midgard for Christmas. This band of Celts I got as a freebie from Warlord are a nice start to a Dark Ages force...

Alongside some German grenadiers who may form base of a second BltAction army...?

Bolt Action British Airborne army finally painted and based.

Today I learned that you can pay to be hooked up to an IV drip in some London hotels.

Welcome to the late decadence era of western civilisation.

Here we go again.
