When the level of threat goes up as it has done in the last few years, then we have to make whatever adjustments are required to the rest of our spending to keep our people safe.

At the end of the Cold War, we made assumptions about how dangerous we believed the world would be and we cut back on spending on defence and security releasing funds that we called “the peace dividend” into other areas and priorities.

If you need a lift today… have a listen to this.

I chatted to Tony in the park in the sunshine and read him some of the comments from his singing last week. He was blown away and got a bit emotional ❤️

He thought this might help with everything going on in the world. The live audience was just Winnie and I but hopefully you can enjoy it too.

Have a lovely Sunday.

HOLY SH*T:

Rep. Jayapal just asked Epstein survivors at the DOJ oversight hearing to raise their hand if Trump's DOJ has not met with them.

Every single victim raised their hand.

Pam Bondi has failed the American people and must resign immediately.

This is bad.

@nsandihelp I would like to understand how long it takes to reimburse funds to the beneficiaries once all documents are returned to you.

Just a reminder. While #Mandelson enjoys tax payers' money for a job which comes with a luxury lifestyle, I was 'investigated' for 13 months, kept from promotion, and excluded by @UKLabour for liking tweets by @Glinner and expressing my view that only women can have a cervix...

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

Amazing news for ex- postmaster 92 year old Betty Brown - FINALLY she has been awarded close to 100% of financial redress after losing £50k thro Post Office Horizon IT scandal

We’ve followed her story on #Newsnight & she wanted to be live on the show tonight so that’s what’s happening :)

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

When I was a student, my first political job was with Alistair Darling (who went on to be Chancellor of the Exchequer for the Labour government). I then worked with Charles Kennedy, Menzies Campbell & Jim Wallace (Lib Dems). All of whom were decent and highly intelligent men, genuine public servants & principled politicians. But since then, something rather grim has happened to the standard of our politicians. Very few of our politicians today are anywhere near the standards of many politicians from the past. It’s one of the reasons why we are in this enormous mess.

‼️Previously they were the Labour enablers propping up them for 26 years - yet just waiting to pounce.

🗳️A vote for Plaid in the new enlarged Senedd is to get the Independence ball rolling…..

He’s simply not even trying to deny it ….

Voters now know what they really are trying to get into Government to achieve when back in Cardiff Bay.

@DarrenMillarMS. @WelshConserv is the only party that is NOT using this election to achieve other aims. We simply want to be able to #FixWales & achieve progress for you & your family. It should be the aim of everyone else on the ballot but it sadly isn’t.
