Government published a list of Cabinet Committees today. There’s a new European Affairs committee, chaired by the Prime Minister. With ministerial responsibility for EU/European relations split between the Cabinet Office, FCDO, & Business & Trade, could be the key body for co-ordinating efforts.

35 years ago today, 70.000 people took to the streets in Leipzig calling for more democracy & freedom of speech. It was the largest protest ever seen in former East Germany. The peaceful march inspired more protests across the country and a month later the Berlin Wall fell.

Protesters in Leipzig.
"Wir wollen keine Gewalt! Wir wollen Veränderungen!" ("We don't want violence! We want change!") reads a banner carried by demonstrators at the Monday demonstration on 9 October 1989 in Leipzig.

My wife was out riding this evening when the Northern Lights switched on, and she took this wonderful but slightly hilarious picture.

A view of the Northern Lights in the night sky, shining green and purple, and a very curious looking brown horse in the foreground.

A tenner says Johnson concocted this lunatic plan purely to put it in his memoirs.

And presumably he'll be very happy to accept the plaudits for said gifts without any reference to his sister? 😁
