Why is the world so casual about #Sudan’s casualties?
The international community must do better in 2024 to help relieve and end Sudan’s terrible suffering.
The Conservatives have failed to take the security of our country seriously.
Slashing troop numbers when there is war on our continent is a grave mistake.
Lib Dems will reverse the Conservatives' cut to troop numbers - to ensure that our armed forces are strengthened.
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret You spoke last week about countries measuring "happiness." For many governments which focus on this metric, I've felt like it was an attempt to deflect from talking about human rights. Do you agree?
@RestIsPolitics@campbellclaret@RoryStewartUK To what extent is Taiwan part of the UK and the US' vital national interest? (Greetings from the visit of an Atlantic Council delegation to Taipei).

@RestIsPolitics How has the idea of "15 minute cities" become so toxic and widely misunderstood? (See PM's recent pledge on this). Did you experience conspiracy theorists latching onto, and successfully misrepresenting, any of your initiatives or policies while in office? Has this got worse?
Once met a British oil exec in Lagos. The day before, he’d been to a disastrous party at a top minister’s house. The invitation said ‘Fancy dress compulsory’. He had no fancy dress, but was an enthusiastic scuba diver and by chance had his gear with him. He dressed up, took a cab to the house, rather surprising the driver, squelched up the drive in wet-suit, mask & fins, climbed the steps, and found himself in the midst of the party. All the men were wearing dinner jackets, since in Nigeria ‘fancy dress’ means ‘black tie’. He fled back down the drive and understandably had problems getting a cab to take him back to his hotel.
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret What do you make of the financial mess of local authorities like Birmingham and Woking? Is there the way out of effective bankruptcy, other than cutting key services? And how did we get to this situation?

In Africa, "anti-French" sentiment does not equate a pro-Russian stance. A trust deficit with the West does not translate into a trust surplus for Russia.
True; the police have arrested a man caught with ballot papers who is allegedly affiliated with the SLPP.
A geo-location of the video led us to RC Kolokolo Senior Secondary Centre in Makeni, with station number 04239, where voters present confirmed the arrest. We verified from the Panlap police station in Makeni and found the arrested suspect (Hassan Karim) with thumb-printed ballot booklets.
