We are very pleased to have you in Berlin, @jcartlidgemp 🤝

[James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp]

Germany is a crucial Defence partner for the UK, particularly with the growing threats we both face. So it’s been brilliant to be in Berlin with @KAS_UKIRL - meeting academics & CDU Parliamentarians to discuss key Defence issues🇬🇧🇩🇪

We are thrilled to share a very special report with you! 🇬🇧 We teamed up with @sophgaston to assess the future of the UK's strategic role in a changing world order. The question: can the UK redefine its influence?

I have a new paper out today for @KAS_UKIRL on the key geopolitical trends, including America's strategic recalibration. It argues the UK is especially exposed to these, but also uniquely placed to respond to them, if we can get our act together at home.

Pleased to be in the @spectator writing about the centre-right and Christianity off the back of @WeAreBrightBlue and @KAS_UKIRL's recent report.

"Those beliefs – in country, family and contribution – are persuasive to all Europeans, not just Christians."
