Visited the grave of my friend’s father and witnessed a remarkable ceremony. The letters on the white crosses almost disappear in the brightness of the stone, so a soldier fills the indentations with sand from Omaha Beach to bring the name forward. It sent shivers down my spine. pic.twitter.com/e2G8KvvALt

'A sense of perspective'

As the D-Day commemorations come to a close we reflect on what our veterans did for our country and those who did not make it. https://t.co/qRDndMEMtC pic.twitter.com/tiMfMdFJDg

This is a sad comparison

More Americans were shot to death by March 6 this year than died on D-Day https://t.co/MNtgUc9PwY

While participating in D-Day celebrations, on sacred ground, with graves of soldiers in the background, the coward with fictional bone-spurs deemed it appropriate to attack Mueller, a decorated war veteran who was awarded a Purple Heart. Trump is a disgraceful embarrassment. https://t.co/xtXUhGrtzu

WaPo: U.S./Mexico close to a deal to avoid tariffs. Mexico has proposed sending 6,000 troops to its southern border w/ Guatemala and what sounds like a modified version of a “safe third country” agreement. Unclear how close or if it will satisfy Trump. https://t.co/RmJhkCtW4k

120 military vets have signed a letter warning that Brexit threatens peace and friendship in Europe

“Nato does not keep the peace in Europe – it keeps peace for Europe. It is the EU that keeps peace in Europe, because when you trade, you do not fight"

Our public conversation is barely credible. The Tory leadership candidates compete with each to laud a No Deal Brexit. Meanwhile Ford is set to close its Bridgend plant. British Steel is insolvent Manufacturing slumping. A full scale political and economic crisis is unfolding.

Dom Raab has refused to rule out proroguing Parliament to ensure Britain leaves without a deal on October 31

This is what senior figures in the ERG have been demanding – get round MPs by simply pushing the nuclear button and proroguing
