The Canada geese produce hundreds of pounds of droppings a day, mess up bacteria levels in the local lagoons and sometimes scare children. Now a Northern California city is poised to spend nearly $400,000 to get rid of them.

Am starting to look forward to Conservative Party conference in Manchester next month. First up is to chair this fascinating discussion with @hsf_uk on the lessons from Germany 🇩🇪 & the German election in February for the UK. 🇬🇧

The EU has got to move faster than this, if it wants to diversify its trade away from China & the US. The EU - Mercosur agreement was the main topic of discussion - with opposition from France 🇫🇷 and Ireland 🇮🇪 - when I was on EU Trade FAC in 2016-2018!.

The European Commission plans to present the text of two trade agreements with Mercosur and Mexico next week, starting a ratification process that may be difficult for France to swallow.

Saddened to learn of the death of my great friend & colleague Councillor Frances Stainton. Fulham Councillor 1990-2002, she was a tireless advocate for local people and a great source of advice to me over three decades. May she rest in peace.

This had been signalled from the US 🇺🇸, that UK 🇬🇧 products made from steel and aluminium would be in scope for 25% tariffs. But this ought to have been sorted out between the two countries months ago.

It’s been said before, but the parallels between Alaska 2025 and Munich 1938 are depressingly uncanny. ☹️ the victim state (Czechoslovakia, Ukraine) not invited. ☹️ a naive view that the aggressor hasn’t been fully understood. ☹️ a result that could likely mean more conflict.

On this day, 14th August, 2021 I was travelling by train through a peaceful Ukraine. This was the view from my window. Just 6 months before Putin invaded. Let us hope that Ukraine prevails.

It would be a stiff competition, but I have long thought this might be London’s ugliest building. On the corner of Marylebone Road and Seymour Place.

Always good to come across a rarity like this!. This postbox on Evelina Road, SE15 is understandably few and far between - an Edward VIII pillar box from 1936. #RoyalMailHistory

Great to see the U.K. 🇬🇧 importing blueberries from Ukraine 🇺🇦 . As Trade Minister, I first introduced tariff-free trade for all Ukrainian farm produce in 2023, and then extended it further in 2024. (Eggs, exceptionally, are time-limited to a couple of years)

Nothing in the least bit dodgy-looking about getting a text from the Philippines purporting to be the U.K. @DWPgovuk, offering a Winter Fuel Payment which the Government has just abolished!
