Totally blown away by the love I received from @LibDems colleagues at the start of @LibDemConf in #Harrogate this weekend. Particular Thanks to Anna Sabine MP. My journey from foothills of Kashmir to @UKHouseofLords has been unbelievable, I hope I can inspire others to follow.

Totally agree with my colleague that we should learn the lessons of the Iraq War, not blindly follow the US into war again, our track record of intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan & Libya shows us that we end up with even more uncertain and dangerous world . UK Gov must listen.
"Can the deputy PM confirm. that today's Labour government will not blindly follow the US into war again?" asks Lib Dem's Daisy Cooper. Angela Rayner says the government has urged Iran to "engage in the diplomatic process and work with the US". #PMQs
