Important debate in the House of Commons on 🇩🇪🇬🇧 relations. The phrase “Vorsprung durch Freundschaft” stuck with me, as MPs highlighted the #KensingtonTreaty as vital in an age of instability. Great to also hear strong support for people-to-people ties, including town twinnings.

With train punctuality at a record low and passenger frustration soaring, Germany's railways are looking to the UK for inspiration. They're introducing Britain's tea time alarm to help ease tempers & encourage passengers to unwind with a comforting cuppa while enjoying the view.
