This is very interesting in Sunday Times. Those who have lost a parent in their life are more likely to support assisted dying than those who haven’t. It’s intensely personal isn’t it - personal experience can shape views both ways. www.thetimes.com/article/97d2...

We spent some time on Electoral Dysfunction taking about the life and legacy if John Prescott. Harriet says he *was* the red wall. Ruth called him the ‘yin to Blair’s yang’. Together they delivered three Labour election wins. Full episode out Fri 6am. Will post link here

This just out from Angela Rayner on John Prescott if you’d like to read. She says he never lost sight of who he came into politics to serve and changed the lives of millions of people. She calls him a Labour legend and an inspiration to her

Hello from Rio. PM’s met China’s Xi & proposed a full bilateral meeting in Beijing or London. PM said he wants “our relations to be consistent, durable, respectful, & as we have agreed, avoid surprises where possible” PM raised issues human rights, parly sanctions & pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai

Stopping to refuel in Cape Verde as we head to G20 & time for a quick @skynews live as PM says he has ‘no plans’ to speak to Putin and puts Ukraine at the top of his agenda and implores allies to shore up support for as long as it takes >

Beth Rigby @bethrigby.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

NEW: PM says he has no plans or speak to Putin in wake of Scholz call as he urges allies to “double down on shoring up support for Ukraine” and says must to that for “as long as it takes”. Here’s the exchange

We’re heading to G20. So much on agenda. Will we see an attempt by Western allies to try to Trump proof crucial issues from Ukraine as conflict enters the grim milestone of 1000 days. Qs too for PM over small boats & deals to try to stem flow of migrants, the assisted dying bill & farmers revolt
