Could an agreement for Britain to join Europe’s defence fund ‘Security Action for Europe’ (Safe) be back on the cards? Speaking in Paris yesterday, European Council president Antonio Costa suggested as much. ‘It could take some weeks, months, but for sure, we will achieve an agreement with the UK on the Safe issue,’ he said. ✍️ Lisa Haseldine Article | spectator.com/article/can-eu…

I would add to this. Our democracy is under direct threat. The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is just one example. It isn’t just policy, it’s a framework. It hands ministers and QUANGOs like Ofcom the power to change how the internet is regulated later through secondary legislation. This means new law can be passed without Parliamentary vote or even proper scrutiny. Today it’s “child safety”. Tomorrow it’s whatever fits the definition. Pay attention

I welcome the decision of the Lebanese Foreign Minister to expel the Iranian ambassador-designate from Lebanon. This is a justified and necessary step against the state responsible for violating Lebanon’s sovereignty, for its indirect occupation through Hezbollah, and for dragging it into war. We call on the Lebanese government to take practical and meaningful measures against Hezbollah, whose representatives still serve as ministers within it.
