  1. UK only European nation to allow child soldiers to be recruited. On Armistice Day, time to stop 37% of new recruits who are under 18.
  2. Chaired fascinating meeting on Russia with guest speaker @lukeharding1968 yesterday. Amazing account - look forward to reading his book.
  3. @SocraticPolitic No. Never have been, never would be.
  4. @Simon_Gardner I visited the Tibetan Parliament and government in exile as part of a delegation of MPs funded by the Tibet Society UK.
  5. Self-immolation by Tibetan monks a real tragedy. Shame FCO Minister Jeremy Browne couldn't give a better answer to my question yesterday.
  6. Big difference between UK & Irish Governments though, Labour is part of the coalition here and there's a big appetite for punishing bankers
  7. In Dublin with Constitutional Reform Committee talking to Irish politicians and academics about constitution and coalition government.
  8. Sorry to everyone who is receiving spam tweets allegedly from me. This one is really from me and I'm trying to stop the virus SAP.
  9. @David_Harney thank you very much David. I'll never give up!
  10. Meeting new arrivals from Tibet at Dharamsala Reception Centre. Extraordinary stories of determination and resilience to Chinese oppression.
  11. Met HH the Dalai Lama yesterday in Dharamsala with four other UK MPs. He's so inspiring, funny and has real moral and spiritual authority.
  12. Met Abbott Rinpoche at Kirti Monastery in Mcleodganj this afternoon to hear about latest case of Monk who self-immolated in Tibet. Very sad.
  13. Amazing to be in Dharamsala again leading delegation of UK MPs to meet Tibetan Parliament & Government in Exile. Worth the 32 hour journey!
  14. To all colleagues and comrades: have a great Party Conference and show the media vultures we haven't lost our passion and energy for justice
  15. A true People's Bank would give financial access to those currently denied it. Labour must develop the idea into a reality. We need passion.
  16. Stick to the principles of Fairness, Justice and Equality to drive Labour policies and people will begin to believe in us again.
  17. Capture the imagination of those being trampled on by the coalition as well as the wider public and Labour can win back support.
  18. Apologising for Labour's handling of the world economic crisis would be bonkers. We need to show how we will improve the lives of the people
  19. @Leedsrowing @tomriordan Would be delighted to support please contact me to let me know how I can help.
