Old fart. Labour supporter. Dog lover. Cat lover. Happily married. Oh, and wine lover too. Childish sense of humour. And starting to make music again. Nothing fabulous, but certainly puts a smile on my face. Pic looks like my pile is itching…..

I am in contact with the Prime Minister of Estonia Kristen Michal.

I expressed full Latvian support to Estonia’s request to hold NATO Article 4 consultations.

Important that NATO launched Eastern Sentry. NATO Air Policing Mission has responded decisively by protecting Alliance’s airspace.

If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.

I feel like if you've reached your 40s and you need newspaper columns to help you dress yourself, then you have failed in quite a fundamental way

Hi Jon, I must confess that I do use that line when a customer asks where I live. ‘Oxfordshire, Gods own country!’ I say and we all chuckle.

Which is silly as everyone knows it’s Nottinghamshire.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Thoughts are with you. We lost our Coco about 6 weeks back and there’s a big hole in our lives.

US agreement leaves UK open to do a much more significant EU deal Economically this US deal is relatively small, although important to very specific sectors.

The key diplomatic win here is that it leaves the UK open to do a full EU deal on, for example, food standards.

Instead of the bland, "have a nice day," add some suspense by saying, "I hope you enjoy the next 24 hours."

If there is a doggy heaven she’ll be sneaking up on another pups rations. Not sure they’ll be letting me in if they have a half decent door policy.

Sweet dreams big bear. We’ll always love you. X.

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our girl Coco last week.
She’ll be sorely missed by my wife Lynn and myself and her sister Trin. Despite her age she was still playful, crafty and stubborn!

I don’t wish to be too dramatic, but this sounds like like something an enemy would state.

Worrying.
