@EdwardJDavey Great to see @LibDems focusing on joining a customs union with the European Union - not just good for the UK, but also for our European neighbours. @LDEG_News

Off to Q-Expo in Bilbao. Big meet up of the extended quantum family in Europe. Will we see each other there?

Europe isn’t waiting for #Ukraine to join the #EU.
It’s already pricing in Ukraine’s future—and changing the rules of enlargement.
Here’s why that matters more than you think.

@Acyn In other words - Charles is calling on the legislature to excercise is legal powers to control the executive. Nicely worded reprimand, as you might expect.

Wie soll Deutschland auf der Weltbühne ernst genommen werden, wenn der Kanzler so dünnhäutig ist?

Much quieter than the diesel, but with a strange whirring sound constantly present. The trains have a reputation for being pretty unreliable, with software glitches and fuel cell failures, but that is probably the inevitable result of being pioneers in promoting green mobility.

First ride on a hydrogen-powered train today, leaving Frankfurt main railway station, and taking the RB12 just one stop down the line to Höchst.
First impressions of the Alstom Coradia iLint train were pretty good.

@PeterStefanovi2 @DavidPBMaddox Great intervention by Rachel Gilmour

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

The report in the Independent that Mandelson had failed security vetting was actually raised in the Commons by Rachel Gilmour on 16 September 2025

“a source from MI6 has reportedly claimed that they failed to clear Mandelson”

It’s time to commit to the next decade of collaboration—because solving global challenges is a team sport.

Science doesn't care about passports. 🌍 High-fives all round for the 6,000 UK-EU projects already thriving under Horizon, but we can't stop here.

"Dynamic alignment" on food standards fixes the paperwork, but kills UK's edge in novel foods. The brightest entrepreneurs are being told their investment in a bespoke UK framework was for nothing.
Rule-takers, not rule-makers. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 #Breit #FoodTech

EU-Australian free trade agreement - finally over the line. As Co-Chair of the German Australian Business Council, I've made several submissions on behalf of industry and am pleased that the negotiations are finally concluded. https://t.co/Zk3aW6Lz4O

"The AI will figure it out" is not a patent strategy. 🛑 EPO rejected #ArtificialIntelligence patent because it was a "black box" with no technical specifics. If you can’t explain, you don’t have an invention. My teardown of the decision

Germany is finally setting the stage for the #AIAct! 🚀 The goal: maximal innovation with minimal red tape. The government is launching a new AI Service Desk and "regulatory sandboxes" to support SMEs and startups. Implementation must be pragmatic!
