@British_Airways not normally one to complain as we always try to fly with you but coming back today from VRN to LGW to find not only is our plane two ours delayed but having bought Business tickets we can’t access the Business Lounge at VRN 😰😰

@IlvesToomas Yes - very disappointing! We have come from the UK this week with raincoats instead of shorts! However views from the TV tower are looking good right now

@GarethDennis Although it is always good to see Kenley getting some time in the spotlight, whether it be the airfield or the railway station

@GarethDennis @conor_matchett I say that as the interim Lib Dem leader of East Surrey Council, so I suppose I should be celebrating the win...

@Peston Hi Robert, a very small critique if I may, but 'believe' should come before 'like me', otherwise it is making you out to be a senior member of the government...

German Chancellor Merz after meeting Trump:

Spain is a member of the European Union.

There is no way to treat Spain particularly poorly now; if so, we will all come to a common result, and that also includes Spain.

He primarily tied the criticism to the NATO contribution, but that has nothing to do with our European efforts for an agreement, a trade agreement.

As far as Great Britain is concerned, there were irritations over the weekend with regard to the approval of refueling stops at various American military bases located on British territory.

I consider this criticism of him to be unjustified, especially after he corrected his originally restrictive stance.

The courageous Iranian people have paid a heavy price for freedom. Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump, their hour of liberation is at hand.

In the @washingtonpost I lay out my plan for an orderly, transparent transition to a democratic Iran.
